Page 152 Chapter 4. REMOTE PROGRAMMING Common Modules 1. Communication IO open/close module The GPIB or RS232C IC open/close module is a basic operation for communication and should be included in the standard module. After calling the comm_open function at the start of the program, be sure to call the comm_close function to close the communication port before the end of the program.
