IEEE 488 Bus Interface

The  4803's  488  Bus  interface  meets  IEEE 

STD  488.1-1987  and  has  the  following  ca-

pabilities: 

  SH1, AH1, T6, L4, SR1, PP0, DC1,  

  RL0, DT1, C0 and E2 drivers.

Address Capability

Dual  primary    addresses  or  single  primary 

with secondary addresses 00 and 01.  Primary 

address range: 0-30.

SRQ Generation

SRQs are generated if the unit is not a talker, 

if SRQs are enabled and if an Enabled Event 

Status Register bit or an monitored digital input 

change occurs.  Digital inputs monitored by the 

Questionable registers.

488.2 Common Commands

*CLS, *ESE, *ESE?, *ESR?, *IDN?, *OPC, 

*OPC?, *RCL, *RST, *SAV, *SRE, *SRE?, 

*STB, TST? and *WAI

SCPI Commands

Used to set and query all programmable func-

tions.    The  4803  conforms  to  SCPI  1994.0 

Specification.

ing electrical characteristics. All time delays 

listed  here  are  maximums,  all  pulse  widths 

are minimums.

Inputs

Input  

External Data Inhibit line

Timing  SETS within 1 µs of the active edge 

of the EDR Input signal and resets 

after data is loaded. Data loading 

time for 6 BCD/HEX characters is 

0.15 ms (typ.) after the 4803 has 

been addressed as a Talker 

Output  High = >3 V with  3 mA source

Logic 

High =>2 V with  24 mA source

Levels 

Low = 0.0 to +0.55 Vdc, 48 mA 

sink 

Output  Data is transferred to the 

Timing  output 0.6 to 5.3 ms after receipt of a 

terminator depending upon transfer 

method.

 

Pulse width  10 to 30000 ms

Data Stb  Output pulse width, 5 µs

Trigger  Output pulse width, 5 µs

Remote  Output level  asserted when in the 

remote state

Reset  

Output pulse width, 40 µs for

 

*RST  command  and  true  during 

4803 reset time (70 ms)

Stable   Output level asserted when Digital 

I/O lines have been configured.
