Section 4 Serial Controller

OUTPUT
The OUTPUT command sends data to the IEEE 488 bus. The Remote Enable
line (REN) is first asserted. If optional device addresses are specified, those devices
will then be addressed to listen. If addresses are not specified, the Analyzer488 must
already be configured to send data, either as a result of an immediately preceding
OUTPUT
command or as the result of a SEND command.
If the character count, count, is specified then count number of characters
will be sent to the bus devices. Otherwise, OUTPUT terminates data transfer upon
detection of a serial CR of LF terminator from the serial input. The serial input
terminator(s) are replaced with the bus output terminator(s) before being sent to the
bus devices.
The IEEE 488 bus output terminators can be modified with the TERM command.
Refer to this command description for complete information.
TYPE High Level Controller command
SYNTAX OUTPUT[addr[,addr…]][#count];data
addr is a bus device address. Up to 15 addresses may be specified.
count is the number of characters to OUTPUT.
data is a string of characters to OUTPUT terminated by the serial
terminator(s), unless count is specified in which case no
terminator is needed.
