If STBO IE = 0, to request service, issue the reqt auxiliary
command. Then, write the status byte (STB) to the SPMR. When
you write to the SPMR, write 0 to bit 6 (the rsv bit). The TNT4882
asserts and unasserts the rsv signal according to the set rsv state
machine that is described in the IEEE 488.2 standard.
After the CIC serial polls the TNT4882, you must issue the reqt
auxiliary command and write to the SPMR again to request
service. If you want to stop requesting service before a serial poll
occurs, issue the reqf auxiliary command.

Appendix A
Insert the contents below to create a new section following the System
Configuration section on Page D-9 of the TNT4882 Programmer Reference
Manual.
Operation
Configuring the System Cable Length
To use HS488 transfers, a Controller sends the CFE command followed by
a CFGn command.
Responding to System Cable Length Configuration
HS488 devices (including the Controller) must recognize and respond to
the system cable length commands (CFE and CFGn). The software must
recognize the CFE and CFGn commands and implement the CF interface
function. Unlike other GPIB commands, the TNT4882 does not
automatically respond to these commands. The software must assist the
hardware.
To implement the CF interface function set AUXRB[CPT_ENABLE] and
IMR1[CPT IE] to interrupt on undefined commands.
ISR1[CPT] sets when an undefined “primary” command is received. When
an undefined primary command is received, CPT also sets on all secondary
commands until a defined primary command is received. Each time the
ISR1[CPT] sets, execute the following algorithm:
1. Read the command byte from the CPTR
2. If the command is CFE (0x1F) then
a. Disable HS488 as described in the following section Disabling
HS488
b. Write 0xDF to AUXRF to hold off on all commands
3. Otherwise, if the command is a PCG command other than CFE then
a. Write 0xD0 to AUXRF to clear hold off on all commands
b. Clear AUXRB[CPT_ENABLE], then set
AUXRB[CPT_ENABLE]
4. Otherwise, if (0x61 ≤command ≤0x6F)
a. Subtract 0x60 from command to calculate cable length
b. Enable HS488 with Cable Length as described in the following
section, Enabling HS488
5. Write AUXMR[VALID] to release DAC hold off

Enabling HS488
To enable HS488, first write 0x1C to NIC_DELAY. Then, set HIER[DG],
HIER[NO_TSETUP], DIO_SETUP and DAV_HOLD according to the
following table. Finally, set MISC[HSE].
Disabling HS488
To disable HS488 clear MISC[HSE] and write 0x3 to HIER[DG].
Clearing IMR1[CPT IE] and AUXRB[CPT_ENABLE] causes HS488
configuration commands to be ignored.
