Section 4 Serial Controller

ASSERT
The ASSERT command asserts one or more bus management and/or data lines
when the Analyzer488 is in the Low Level Controller Mode. Individual lines or ALL
lines may be specified. Data is specified after the keyword DATA in Binary, Decimal,
Hexadecimal, or ASCII format
The ASSERT command will only assert data lines while the Analyzer488 is in
the Talk State. If ASSERT is issued while the Analyzer488 is in Listen State, the
specified management lines and data lines will be asserted when the Analyzer488 is
changed to the Talk State (by issuing the TALK command).
Lines remain asserted until they are unasserted, the Analyzer488 is reset, or the
CONTROLLER OFF command is used to put in the Analyzer488 into the High Level
controller Mode.
The query option, ASSERT?, returns the management and data lines that have
been asserted.
