2.3.3 Control Lines

Five control lines enable handshaking of digital I/O data transfer to the

Digital488. They are automatically activated with the corresponding I/O
activity and can also be independently activated with the Handshake (Hn)
command.

2.3.3.1 Clear (Pin 41)

The Clear output is pulse for approximately 50

microseconds after a Device Clear (DCL), Selected Device Clear
(SDC), or Interface Clear (IFC) command has been sent on the bus.
The Clear line is normally active high. The Invert command (I8)
will program it active low. The Handshake command (H0) can
pulse the Clear line, independent of any I/O operations.
