Personal488 for Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000 04-10-01 API Reference 6-4
BusAddress
Syntax INT WINAPI BusAddress (DevHandleT devHandle, BYTE primary,
BYTE secondary);
devHandle refers to either an IEEE 488 hardware interface or an external device.
primary is the IEEE 488 bus primary address of the specified device.
secondary is the IEEE 488 bus secondary address of the specified device. If the specified
device is an IEEE 488 hardware interface, this value must be -1 since there are no
secondary addresses for the IEEE 488 hardware interface. For no secondary address, a
-1 must be specified.
Returns -1 if error
Bus States None
Example errorcode = BusAddress(dmm,14,0);
See Also MakeDevice
The BusAddress command sets the IEEE 488 bus address of the IEEE 488 hardware interface or an
external device. Every IEEE 488 bus device has an address that must be unique within any single
IEEE 488 bus system. The default IEEE 488 bus address for Driver488 is
21 , but this may be changed if it
conflicts with some other device.
