AN OVERVIEW OF THE IEEE-488 BUS

only one device may be a talker at any give" time. Othw

Since the bus is of parallel design, all devices connected to
the bus have the same information available simultaneously. 2.3 IEEE-488 BUS LINES
Exactly what is done with the information by each device
depends on many factors, including device capabilities. The signal lines on the IEEE-488 bus are grouped into three
general categories. The data lines handle bus information,

device when it requires service from the controller.
3. NDAC (Not Data Accepted)-The acceptor also controls
the NDAC line.
The complete handshake sequence for one data byte is
shown in Figure 2-2. Once data is on the bus, the source
checks to see that NRFD is high, indicating that all devices
on the bus are ready for data. At the same time NDAC
should be low from the previous byte transfer. NDAC and
NRFD must be stable for about 100~ if the source is a con-
troller. Because of the possibility of a bus hang up, some
controllers have time-out routines to display error messages
if the handshake sequence stops for any reason.
Once the NRFD and NDAC lines are properly set, the source
sets the DAV line low, indicating that data on the bus is now
valid. The NRFD line then goes low; the NDAC line then
goes high once all devices on the bus have accepted the
data. Each device will release the NDAC line at its own rate,
but the NDAC line will not go high until the slowest device
has accepted the data.
After the NDAC line goes high, the source then sets the
DAV line high to indicate that the data on the bus is no
longer valid. At this point, the NDAC line returns to its low
state. Finally, the NRFD line is released by each of the
devices at their own rates, until the NRFD line finally goes
high when the slowest device is ready, and the bus is set to
repeat the sequence with the next byte of data.
The sequence just described is used to transfer both data
and multiline commands. The state of the ATN lines deter-
mines whether the data bus contains data or commands as
described in paragraph 2.4.
