Common NI-488.2 Routines in ibic
Use the auxiliary function set to select the NI-488.2 function mode. The
syntax for this form of the set command is as follows:
set 488.2
[n]
where n represents an optional board number (for example, n = 1 for gpib1).
The default value of n is 0 (gpib0).
After issuing this form of the set command, ibic uses the 488.2 prompt to
indicate that you are in NI-488.2 mode on board n.
set 488.2 1
488.2 (1):
After issuing the set 488.2 command, you can use any of the NI-488.2
routines.
Send
The Send routine sends data to a single GPIB device. You can use the
SendList command to send data to multiple GPIB devices. For example,
suppose you want to send the five-character string *IDN? followed by the new
line character with EOI. You want to send the message from the computer to
the devices at primary address 2 and 17. To do this, enter the SendList
command at the 488.2 (0): prompt.
