HP-IB Service Requests
Procedure for Generating a Service Request
The following steps outline a generalized procedure for properly setting
up the Test Set to generate a Service Request (SRQ) message to the
Active Controller. This procedure does not include instructions for
setting up the Active Controller to respond to the Service Request
message generated by the Test Set. Refer to the operating and/or
programming manuals for each controller for information describing
the controller’s capability to set up and respond to SRQ interrupts.
• For register groups with Condition Registers and Transition Filters
start at step 1.
• For register groups with no Condition Register or Transition Filters
start at step 5.
1. Determine which conditions, as defined by their bit positions in the
Register Group Condition Register, should cause the Summary
Message to be set TRUE if they occur.
2. Determine the polarity of the bit-state transition which will indicate
that the condition has occurred.
3. Set the Register Group Transition Filters to the correct polarity to
pass the bit-state transition to the Event Register.
4. Go to step 6.
5. Determine which conditions, as defined by their bit positions in the
Register Group Event Register, should cause the Summary Message
to be set TRUE if they occur.
6. Set the correct bits in the Register Group Enable Register to
generate the Summary Message if the condition has been latched
into the Register Group Event Register.
7. If the Summary Message is a bit in a Register Group that is not the
Status Byte Register go to step 1.
8. Set the correct bits in the Service Request Enable Register for all
Register Group Summary Messages selected in steps 1 through 6.
