HP-IB Service Requests
Setting Up and Enabling SRQ Interrupts
Test Set status information is maintained in eight register groups.
Information in each register group is summarized into a Summary
Message. All of the Summary Messages are, in turn, summarized into
the Status Byte Register, either directly to specific bit positions in the
Status Byte Register as shown in Table 6-10, or indirectly through
another register group (refer to “Status Reporting Structure Overview”
on page 121 for a detailed discussion of the register groups and status
reporting).
Bits in the Status Byte Register can be used to generate a Service
Request (SRQ) message by enabling the associated bit in the Service
Request Enable Register. When an enabled service request condition
exists, the Test Set sends the Service Request message (SRQ) on the
HP-IB bus and reports that it has requested service by setting the
Request Service (RQS) bit in the Status Byte register to the TRUE,
logic 1, state. When read by a serial poll, the RQS bit is cleared (set to
logic 0) so that the RQS message will be FALSE if the Test Set is polled
again before a new reason for requesting service has occurred.
