TIME OUT

The TIME OUT command sets the number of seconds that the Micro488/EX will

wait for an IEEE bus transfer before declaring a time out error. The Micro488/EX
checks for time out errors on every byte (including command bytes as a controller) it
transfers.

Time out checking may be suppressed by specifying time out after zero seconds.

The default time out is 0 seconds, or time out disabled.
