4.11.2.5 ASCII Character Strings
data An arbitrary string of characters. None of the
special forms given above ($char, CR, LF, or 'X)
are used. For example, CRLF as data is taken as
the letters, "C", "R", "L", and "F", not as carriage
return line feed.
'data' An arbitrary string of characters enclosed in
apostrophes (') or quotes (").
4.11.2.6 Terminators
term Any single character, specified as CR, LF, 'X, or
$char
as described previously. Part of the
terminator sequence used to mark the end of lines
of data and commands.
[ term] An optional term character. term[term] means
that one or two terminators may be specified.
EOI The IEEE 488 bus End Or Identify (EOI) signal.
When asserted during the transfer of a character,
EOI signals that that character is the last in the
transfer. On input, EOI, if specified, causes the
input to stop. On output, EOI causes the bus EOI
signal to be asserted during transmission of the
last character transferred.
NONE The no end-of-line character indicator. When
STERM
NONE is specified, the Analyzer488 does
not append any serial output terminator(s) to
serially transmitted data.
4.11.2.7 Bus Management and Data Lines
line A bus management line. May be one or more of:
SRQ
, ATN, REN, IFC, or ALL.
