3.5.2 Front Panel LED Indicators

LED indicators on the front panel show the current display mode,

a recording ON LED, and the state of the three handshaking lines.

BUS

The BUS LED indicates that the Analyzer488 is in the bus
display mode, displaying information directly from the IEEE
488 bus. Changing the display mode is accomplished by
using the [VIEW] key.

MEMORY

The MEMORY LED indicates that the Analyzer488 is in the

memory view mode, displaying information from the record
memory. Changing the display mode is accomplished by
using the [VIEW] key.

RECORD

The RECORD LED indicates that the Analyzer488 is

recording bus events into the record memory.

NFRD

The NFRD LED indicates the logical state of the Not Ready
for Data (NRFD) handshaking line. The LED is on when the
NFRD line is asserted. This LED indicates the real-time state
of the bus, even when viewing recorded data.

NDAC

The NDAC LED indicates the state of the Not Data Accepted
(NDAC) handshaking line. The LED is on when the NDAC
line is asserted. This LED indicates the real-time state of the
bus, even when viewing recorded data.
