SECTION 4 - OPERATION
4.1 GENERAL
The Kepco BOP Power Supply, with an installed BIT 4882, BIT 4882-F or BIT 4886 Interface
Card, may be programmed over the IEEE 488 standard communication bus (General Purpose
Interface Bus, GPIB) using either SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)
or CIIL (Control Interface Intermediate Language) commands. SCPI and CIIL provide a com-
mon language used in an automatic test system. (Refer to Table 2-3 for input/output signal allo-
cations.)
4.2 IEEE 488 (GPIB) BUS PROTOCOL
Table 4-1 defines the interface capabilities of the Interface Card (Talker/Listener) relative to the
IEEE 488 (GPIB) bus (reference document ANSI/IEEE Std 488: IEEE Standard Digital Interface for
Programmable Instrumentation) communicating with a Host Computer–Controller (Talker/Lis-
tener).
Tables 4-2 and 4-3 define the messages sent to the Interface Card, or received by the Interface
Card, via the IEEE 488 bus in IEEE 488 command mode and IEEE 488 data mode, respec-
tively. These messages are enabled during the “handshake” cycle, with the Interface Card oper-
ating as either a Talker or a Listener.

Talk er T6
Basic talker, serial poll, unaddress if MLA (My Listen Address) (one-byte
address)
Listener L4 Basic listener, unaddress if MTA (My Talk Address) (one-byte address).
