Information
The IEEE-488.2 standard requires specific information about how the Model 6517A implements the standard. Paragraph 4.9 of
the IEEE-488.2 standard (Std 488.2-1987) lists the documentation requirements. Table E-1 provides a summary of the require-
ments, and provides the information or references the manual for that information.
