Receive

The Receive routine causes the GPIB board to receive data from another
GPIB device. The following example illustrates the use of the Receive
routine.
488.2 (0):

count: 5
48 65 6c 6c 6f
The command acquires data from the device at primary address 5. It stops
receiving data when 10 characters have been received or when the END
message is received. The acquired data is then displayed in hex format along
with its ASCII equivalent. The ibic program also displays the status word and
the count of transferred bytes.
