[time-nuts] GPIB/HPIB Address 31, Talk Only
Hello The Net, Is address 31, for talk only, a HP/Agilent feature only, or do tothers provide talk only on the buss ? I am looking at RF frequency counters to 12 GH, for use with TimeLab.

My understanding is that 31 is illegal as a device address, used to untalk/unlisten all devices. Perhaps what you mention is something from early HPIB (as opposed to newer GPIB/IEEE-488). There are non-HP talk-only devices, but they would use a normal 0-30 device address. But, I could be wrong, I don't pretend to be an expert on 488. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

That's part of the GPIB standard. It should work on any GPIB system.

Hi Stan, As per the GPIB standard [1], valid primary addresses are 0-30. A few instruments use address 31 to specify TALK ALWAYS mode, but it is by no means a standard. Not even among HP/Agilent devices.
