Inputs/Outputs

  • ci32.png bus

    bus refers to the GPIB bus number. If you have only one GPIB interface in your computer, the default bus number is 0.

    Refer to the software installation instructions included with the GPIB controller for additional GPIB interfaces.
  • c1di16.png address list

    address list serial polls the GPIB devices listed in address list, starting at the beginning of the address list array, until the function finds the device asserting SRQ.

    If a secondary address is required, use the MakeAddr function to put the primary and secondary addresses in the proper format.
  • cerrcodeclst.png error in

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • ii16.png requester status byte

    requester status byte is the status byte for the device asserting SRQ.

  • i1dbool.png status

    status is a Boolean array in which each bit describes a state of the GPIB Controller.

    If an error occurs, the function sets bit 15. GPIB error is valid only if bit 15 of status is set.

    The following table shows the numeric value and symbolic status of each bit in status. This table also includes a description of each bit.
