RS-232↔IEEE 488 INTERFACE CONVERTER 2. Introduction 2.1 Description The RS-232↔488 Interface Converter provides transparent communication from a serial computer to an IEEE 488 printer, plotter, or other device. It also can be used to control a serial device, such as a printer or terminal, from an IEEE 488 host computer. As a serial-to-IEEE-488 converter, the interface converter receives data from a serial host then automatically performs the bus sequences necessary to send this data to the IEEE

RS-232↔IEEE 488 INTERFACE CONVERTER Note that the interface converter comes configured as an IEEE controller. In this mode, the interface converter is designed to allow an RS-232 computer to communicate with an IEEE peripheral such as a plotter. This controller mode is described in detail in Chapter 4. The interface converter may also be configured as an IEEE peripheral. As an IEEE peripheral, it allows an IEEE controller to communicate with an RS-232 device. The peripheral mode of operation is

RS-232↔IEEE 488 INTERFACE CONVERTER 3.3.6 SERIAL HANDSHAKE Switch SW1-5 is used to select hardware [RTS/CTS] or software [Xon/Xoff] serial handshake control. With X-ON/X-OFF, the interface converter issues an X-OFF character [ASCII value of $13] when its buffer memory is near full. When the X-OFF character is sent, there are still more than 1000 character locations remaining to protect against buffer overrun. When it is able to accept more information, the inter- face converter issues an Xon cha
