VX4380 256-Crosspoint Relay Matrix Module User Manual 3–11

Functional Command Groups

This section lists the VX4380 system and module commands.

System Commands

The following low-level commands are typically sent by the module’s command-

er, and are transparent to the user of the module. (An exception is the Read STB

command, which is sent whenever a Serial Poll on an IEEE-488 system is

performed.) Most commanders or Slot 0 devices have specific ASCII commands

that cause the commander to send one of these low-level commands to a

specified instrument. Refer to the operating manual of the commander or Slot 0

device for information on these commands.

Command Effect

Begin Normal Operation The module begins operation if it has not already done so.

Byte Available Transfers module commands to this module.

Byte Request Requests the module to return a byte of data from the output

queue.

Clear The module clears its VXIbus interface and any pending

commands. Current module operations are unaffected.

Clear Lock Clears the Lock bit of the Response register.

Read Protocol The module returns its protocol to its commander.

Read STB The module returns its VXI status byte to its commander.

Set Lock Set the Lock bit of the Response register.

Trigger Close the next relay in a scan list that has been defined by a

ROUTe:SCAN <channel_list> command. A VXI Trigger

command is enabled as a trigger source by a ROUTe:SE-

Quence:SOURce BUS command.

Module Commands

A summary of the VX4380-specific and IEEE-488.2 Common Commands is

listed in Tables 3–1 and 3–2 below. The next section, Command Descriptions,

includes detailed descriptions of each command. Appendix C: Examples shows

examples of command usage.
