3.6.1 BIT 4882 COMPATIBILITY.
To replace a standard low power BOP/BIT 4882 card combination with a 1KW BOP-GL with
minimal reconfiguration of existing test setups, send SYSTem:SET 4882 followed by
MEMory:UPDate INTERFACE.
3.6.2 BIT 4886 COMPATIBILITY
To replace a standard low power BOP/BIT 4886 card combination with a 1KW BOP-GL with
minimal reconfiguration of existing test setups, send SYSTem:SET 4886.
3.6.3 IEEE 488 (GPIB) BUS PROTOCOL
Table 3-8 defines the interface capabilities of the BOP power supply (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 3-9 and 3-10 define the messages sent by the BOP, or received by the BOP, via
the IEEE 488 bus in IEEE 488 command mode and IEEE 488 data mode, respectively. These
messages are enabled during the “handshake” cycle, with the BOP power supply operating as
either a Talker or a Listener. (See PAR. 3.6.3.1 to change the GPIB address.

Talker 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).
Service Request SR1
Complete Capability. The interface sets the SRQ line true if there is an enabled ser-
vice request condition.
Remote/Local RL1
Complete capability. Interface selects either local or remote information. In local
mode the BOP enables the analog programming inputs. The unit automatically
enters remote mode (digital control) when the first SCPI command is received.
Parallel Poll PP0 No Capability
Device Clear DC1
Complete Capability. BOP accepts DCL (Device Clear) and SDC (Selected Device
Clear).
Device Trigger DT1 Respond to *TRG and <GET> trigger functions.
