Programming Examples
GPIB Programming Interface Examples
Library Function Statement
NI- 488.2 The NI- 488.2 library function sends the GPIB Selected
Device Clear (SDC) message to the device described by ud.
SICL The Keysight SICL function clears a device or interface. The
function also discards data in both the read and write
formatted IO buffers. The id parameter identifies the
session.
Output Function
The HP Basic IO function OUTPUT and the other listed IO library functions put the signal generator
into a listen mode and prepare it to receive ASCII data, typically SCPI commands.
Library Function Statement
HP Basic The function OUTPUT 719 puts the signal generator into
remote mode, makes it a listener, and prepares it to receive
data.
VISA Library The VISA library uses the above function and associated
parameter list to output data. This function formats
according to the format string and sends data to the device.
The parameter list describes the session id and data to send.
NI- 488.2 The NI- 488.2 library function addresses the GPIB and writes
data to the signal generator. The parameter list includes the
instrument address, session id, and the data to send.
SICL The Keysight SICL function converts data using the format
string. The format string specifies how the argument is
converted before it is output. The function sends the
characters in the format string directly to the instrument.
The parameter list includes the instrument address, data
buffer to write, and so forth.
