Section One - Operation of the GPIB Communication between interconnected devices is achieved by passing messages through the interface system. Types of Messages The GPIB carries two types of messages — device-dependent messages and interface messages. • Device-dependent messages, often called data or data messages, contain device-specific information such as programming instructions, measuremen

Operation of the GPIB Section One The switching center (Controller) monitors the communications network (GPIB). When the Controller notices that a party (device) wants to make a call (send a data message), it connects the caller (Talker) to the receiver (Listener). The Controller usually addresses a Talker and a Listener before the Talker can send its message to the Listener. After the message is transmitted, the Controller usually unaddresses both devices. Some bus configurations do not requi

Section One Operation of the GPIB GPIB Signals and Lines The interface system consists of 16 signal lines and 8 ground return or shield drain lines. The 16 signal lines are divided into the following three groups: • 8 data lines, • 3 handshake lines, and • 5 interface management lines. Data Lines The eight data lines, DIO1 through DIO8, carry both data and command messages. All commands and most data use the 7-bit ASCII or ISO code set, in which case the 8th bit, DIO8, is unused or used for par

Operation of the GPIB Section One NDAC (not data accepted) NDAC indicates when a device has or has not accepted a message byte. The line is driven by all devices when receiving commands and by Listeners when receiving data messages. DAV (data valid) DAV tells when the signals on the data lines are stable (valid) and can be accepted safely by devices. The Controller drives DAV lines when sending commands and the Talker drives DAV lines when sending data messages. Interface Management Lines Five
