IOtech GPIB Command Associated MCC GPIB 488.2 Command
Hello TestSys
Limited functionality
Syntax
Hello INT WINAPI Hello(DevHandleT devHandle,
LPSTR message);
TestSys SendSetup(int board, short addresslist [],
short resultlist[])
Usage Notes
The Hello command, no longer to be used, verified communication with Driver488, and read
the software revision number. When the Hello command was sent, Driver488 returned a
string similar to the following: Driver488 Revision X.X (C)199X ...where X was the
appropriate revision or year number.
TestSys When this routine is executed, all of the devices identified within the
addresslist array are concurrently sent a message which directs them to perform their self-
test procedures. Each device returns an integer code indicating the results of its tests. This code
is placed into the corresponding element of the resultlist array. Note: according to the
IEEE-488.2 standard, a result code of 0 indicates the device passed its test. Any other value
indicates an error.
In the following example the command is telling the devices at addresses 6 and 7 [from Board
0] to perform their self-test procedures.
Example:
short addresslist[3] = {6, 7, NOADDR};
short resultlist[2];
TestSys(0, addresslist, resultlist);
