Passing Control
Passing Control to the Test Set
Control is passed to the Test Set when it is addressed to TALK and then
receives the Take Control Talker (TCT) command. The programming or
controller command which implements the pass control protocol as
outlined in the IEEE 488.1 and 488.2 Standards is language/controller
specific. Refer to the appropriate language/controller documentation for
specific implementations.
Before passing control to the Test Set the Active Controller should send
the Test Set the address to use when passing control back. This is
accomplished using the *PCB Common Command. The *PCB command
tells the Test Set which address should be used when passing control
back to another bus controller. Before passing bus control to the Test
Set, the currently active controller can use the *PCB command to tell
the Test Set where to send the Take Control (TCT) command when the
Test Set is ready to give up active control of the bus. The command is
followed by a number which contains the bus address of the device that
should become the next active controller. The number must round to an
integer in the range 0 to 30 decimal. The command may be followed by
two numbers. The first will be used as the primary address, the second
as the secondary address of the next active controller.
