2.3.3.5 Trigger (Pin 43)

The Trigger output is pulse for approximately 50

microseconds after a GET (Group Execute Trigger) command is
received from the bus controller. The trigger pulse is normally active
high, but can be made active low with the Invert command (I2). The
Handshake command (H2) can independently pulse the Trigger line,
independent of any bus activity.

2.3.3.6 Service (Pin 45)

The Service input is an edge sensitive input capable of

generating a bus Service Request (SRQ). It is enabled with the SRQ
command (M1) and defaults to rising-edge sensitive. The Invert
command (I64 ) can be used to program it to be falling-edge sensitive.

2.4 IEEE 488 Bus Implementation

The Digital488 implements many of the capabilities defined by the IEEE 488

1978 specification. These are discussed in the following sections. Those bus uniline
and multiline commands that the Digital488 does not support or respond to include:

Remote Enable (REN)

Parallel Poll (PP)

Go to Local (GTL)

Parallel Poll Configure (PPC)

Local Lockout (LLO)

Parallel Poll Unconfigure (PPU)

Take Control (TCT)

Parallel Poll Disable (PPD)
