Appendix C

IEEE-488.2 Device Documentation Requirements

Introduction

Section 4.9 of the IEEE Standard 488.2-1987 states: "All devices shall supply information to the user about how the device has implemented this standard. " (In this context, "device" means the Fluke 45 Dual Display Multimeter.) The information in Appendix C is provided in compliance with this requirement.

Implementation of IEEE Standard 488.2-1987

Items 1-23 below correspond, one-to-one, to the specific items of information required by Section 4.9, "Device Documentation Requirements", of the Standard. The information supplied by Fluke in response is italicized. (Throughout Appendix C, the word "Section" refers to the section(s) in the Standard, not this manual.)

1.A list of IEEE 488.2 Interface Function subsets implemented, Section 5.

IEEE-488. 1 interface functions implemented in the Fluke 45 are listed under "IEEE-488 (Option -05)"capability codes in Appendix A.

2.A description of device behavior when the address is set outside the range 0-30, Section 5.2.

It is not possible to set the Fluke 45 address outside the specified range.

3.A description of when a user initiated address change is recognized by the device.

An address change is recognized when set via the address editor which is entered by pressing S), then J(ADDR). This address will be used until it is changed.

4.A description of the device setting at power-on, Section 5.12. Any commands which modify the power-on settings shall also be included.
