In 4.3.4 a change was introduced to check for command acceptors when ATN is
asserted in order to provide the more pertinent error message ENOL no
listeners when neither NRFD nor NDAC are asserted.
It turned out that the problem was that the PTS-310 instrument,
being configured in listen only mode, does not react to  ATN being
asserted.
The workaround was to set the  skip_check_for_command_acceptors field of
the ines_xxx_interface structures to 1 in the ines driver which disables
the check, essentially reverting to the 4.3.3 behaviour.
Normally an instrument, even in listen only mode, should still assert
NRFD/NDAC within 200ns of ATN being asserted.
