I have two of these with 488  interfaces.
Would appreciate any 488 info you get.

Hi

Actually the manual is moot on any sort of remote control. The RS-232 
section refers you to an insert
in the back of the manual. I’d guess that the 488 stuff was done the same 
way.

Nasty question: Are you sure you have the 488 option installed?  It would 
not be the first piece of gear
produced that never really got a 488 firmware version …..
