SendSetup

Addresses a GPIB board as a Talker and the specified GPIB devices as Listeners.

Syntax

C SendSetup(int board, short addresslist [])

Parameters

board is an integer which identifies the GPIB board to be used for this operation. In most

applications, this value is 0.

addresslist is an array of GPIB addresses, terminated by the value NOADDR. These

addresses identify the devices to address as Listeners.

Returns

ibsta will contain a 16-bit status word as described in Appendix B, IBSTA.

iberr will contain an error code, if an error occurred.

Usage Notes

Following this routine, you should call a routine such as SendDataBytes to actually transfer

the data.

Example

This example prepares GPIB board 0 to send data to GPIB devices 6 and 7.

C short addresslist[3] = {6, 7, NOADDR};

SendSetup(0, addresslist);
