OpenName
SYNTAX DevHandleT pascal OpenName(char *name);
name is the name of an interface or external device.
RETURNS Device handle associated with the given name, or -1 if error.
MODE Any
BUS STATE None
SEE ALSO MakeDevice, Close
EXAMPLES dmm = OpenName(“DMM”); Open the external device DMM
dmm = OpenName(“IEEE:DMM”); Specify the interface to which the external
device is connected
The OpenName command opens the specified interface or external device and returns a device handle
for use in accessing that device.
Output (Controller Mode)
OutputX
SYNTAX long pascal OutputX(DevHandleT devHandle, char *data, long
count, bool last, bool forceAddr, TermT *terminator, bool
async, int *compStat);
devHandle refers to either an interface or an external device. If devHandle
refers to an external device, the OutputX command acts on the hardware
interface to which the external device is attached.
data is a string of bytes to send.
count is the number of bytes to send.
last is a flag that forces the device output terminator to be sent with the data.
forceAddr is used to specify whether the addressing control bytes are to be
issued for each Output command.
terminator is a pointer to a terminator structure that is used to set up the input
terminators. If terminator is set to 0 , the default terminator is used.
async is a flag that allows asynchronous data transfer.
compStat is a pointer to an integer containing completion status information.
RETURNS -1 if error, otherwise, the number of characters transferred
MODE CA
BUS STATES With interface handle: REN (if SC and AutoRemote), *ATN, ATN
With external device handle: REN (if SC and AutoRemote),
ATN
•MTA, UNL, LAG, *ATN, ATN
SEE ALSO Enter, Term, TimeOut, Buffered, EOL (Sub-Chapter 15A)
EXAMPLES term.EOI = TRUE;
term.nChar = 1;
term.EightBits = TRUE;
term.termChar[0] = ‘\r’;
data = “U0X”;
count = strlen(data);
bytecnt=Output(timer,data,count,1,0,&term,0,&stat);
