RcvRespMsg is used to read data from a previously addressed device. You must address the
appropriate devices as Listeners/Talkers prior to calling this routine. The input data string is not
terminated with a zero byte.
In the following example, a previously addressed Listener receives 50 bytes of data from a
previously addressed Talker. The transmission is terminated when EOI is detected.
Example:
char data[50];
RcvRespMsg(0, data, 50, STOPend)
Receive is used to read data from a GPIB device. The input data string is not terminated with a
zero byte.
The following example instructs to receive 50 bytes of data from the specified talker (device at
address 2, connected to board). EOI signals the end of the message.
Example:
char data[50];
Receive (0, 2, data, 50, STOPend);

Syntax
INT WINAPI Error(DevHandleT devHandle, BOOL display);
Usage Notes
The Error command, no longer to be used, enabled or disabled automatic on-screen display of
Driver488 error messages. Specifying ON enabled the error message display, while specifying
OFF disabled it.
Similar functionality can only be achieved by coding efforts, of such magnitude, that they are
beyond the scope of this document.
