Talk/Listen Addresses
Each HP-IB device has at least one talk and one listen address unless the device is either
totally transparent or is a talk-only or listen-only device. Device addresses are used by the
commaric? mode (ATN true) to specify the talker (via a talk address)
and the listener(s) (via listen addresses). Only one device may be addressed to talk at a time.
The address of a device is usually preset at the factory but may be set to another value
•
configuration. In the binary representation of the address, the device address
IS the decimal equivalent of the five least-significant bits of the address. (On HP-IB devices
vitn selector s\vitches, these are the five address switches.) The address can be from 0 to 31
inclusive. The sixth and seventh bits determine if the address is a talk or listen address
respectively. High-level^-IB controllers typically configure these two bits automaticaliy.
iable 2-2 lists the HP-IB addresses if a controller requires the talk and listen addresses.
