The GPIB-1014 has complete Source and Acceptor Handshake capability.
• The GPIB-1014 can operate as a basic Talker or Extended Talker and can respond to a Serial
Poll. It can be placed in a Talk Only mode and is unaddressed to talk when it receives its
listen address.
• The interface can operate as a basic Listener or Extended Listener. It can be placed in a
Listen Only mode and is unaddressed to listen when it receives its talk address.
The GPIB-1014 has full capabilities for requesting service from another Controller. The ability
to place the GPIB-1014 in local mode is included, but the interpretation of remote versus local
mode is software-dependent. Full Parallel Poll capability is included in the interface, although
local configuration requires software assistance. Device Clear and Trigger capability is included
in the interface, but the interpretation is software-dependent. All Controller functions, as
indicated by the IEEE 488 standard, are included in the GPIB-1014. These include the capability
to do the following functions:
• Be System Controller
• Initialize the interface
• Send Remote Enable
• Respond to Service Request
• Send multiline command messages
