IOtech GPIB Commands Associated MCC GPIB 488.2 Command(s)
Arm No Equivalent Commands
Syntax
INT WINAPI Arm(DevHandleT devHandle,
ArmCondT condition);
Usage Notes
The Arm command allowed Driver488 to signal to the user-specified function when one or
more specified conditions occurred. Arm set a flag for each implementation of the user-
indicated conditions. Arm conditions were often combined using the bitwise OR operator.
Similar functionality can only be achieved by coding efforts, of such magnitude, that they are
beyond the scope of this document.
IOtech GPIB Command Associated MCC GPIB 488.2 Command(s)
AutoRemote EnableRemote
Syntax
AutoRemote INT WINAPI AutoRemote(DevHandleT devHandle,
BOOL flag);
EnableRemote EnableRemote(int board, short addresslist[])
Usage Notes
AutoRemote, no longer to be used, enabled [or disabled] the automatic assertion of the Remote
Enable (REN) line by Output. When AutoRemote was enabled, Output automatically
asserted REN before transferring any data. When AutoRemote was disabled, there was no
change to the REN line. AutoRemote was on by default.
EnableRemote - When this routine is executed, the system controller asserts the Remote
Enable (REN) line and the Controller addresses the specified devices as listeners.
The command issued in the following example places devices at GPIB addresses 6 and 7
(connected to GPIB board) in remote mode.
Example:
short addresslist[3] = {6,7,NOADDR};
EnableRemote(0, addresslist);
