1.
brdname is the symbolic name of the new board (for example, gpib1).
2.
Values enclosed in square brackets ([]) are optional. The default value
is 0 for ibwait and 1 for all other functions.
3.
v is a hex, octal, or decimal integer. Hex numbers must be preceded by 0
and x (for example, 0xD). Octal numbers must be preceded by 0 only
(for example, 015). Other numbers are assumed to be decimal.
4.
string consists of a list of ASCII characters, octal or hex bytes, or
special symbols. You must enclose the entire sequence of characters in
quotation marks. An octal byte consists of a backslash character followed
by the octal value. For example, octal 40 is represented by \40. A hex
byte consists of a backslash character and a character x followed by the
hex value. For example, hex 40 is represented by \x40. The two special
symbols, \r for a carriage return character and \n for a linefeed
character, are a more convenient method for inserting the carriage return
and linefeed characters into the string, as shown in the following
example: "F3R5T1\r\n". Because the carriage return is represented
equally well in hex, \xD and \r are equivalent strings.
5.
udname is the symbolic name of the new device or board (for example,
dev1 or gpib0).
6.
v is the number of bytes to read.
7.
flname is the path name of the file to be read or written (for example,
\test\meter or printr.buf).
8.
mask is a hex, octal, or decimal integer (see note 3), or a mask bit
mnemonic.
9.
ibdev parameters are board id, pad, sad, tmo, eos, and eot.
10.
ibln parameters are pad and sad.
