IEEE-488.2 Devise 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 2620A Hydra Series II Data Acquisition Unit. The
Fluke Hydra Series II Data Logger cannot be equipped for IEEE-488 operation.) The
information in Appendix C is provided in compliance with this requirement.
Implementation of IEEE Standard 488.2-1987
Items 1-23 below correspond 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 Data
Acquisition Unit are listed under "IEEE-488" 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 Data Acquisition Unit 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 IEEE setup menu,
which is entered by pressing COMM ([sft] [lst]). This address will be
used until it is changed. The address change is recognized after ENTER is
pressed to accept the address shown on the display.
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.
The initial power-up device setting is:
Channels 0 - 20:OFF.
