NOTE
NOTE
This analyzer will send an additional <
block length transfers. The definite length block form for your analyzer
is: #<num_digits><num_bytes><data_bytes><
<num_bytes> is the number of <data_bytes> without counting
C
< ><EOI>.
R
Indefinite Block Length
The general form for an indefinite block length transfer is:
C
#0<data_bytes><
After the last data byte is sent, the indefinite length block must be
terminated by sending a carriage return or newline with EOI asserted.
This forces the termination of the program message. An example IBASIC
(or HP BASIC) statement to send ABC+XYZ as an indefinite block length
parameter is shown; note that END is used to properly terminate the
message.
OUTPUT 716;"#0ABC+XYZ",END
Files are transferred as indefinite length blocks.
