Program
message
terminator
The
program
instructions
within
a
data
message
are
executed
after
the
program
message
terminator
is
received.
The
terminator
may
be
either
an
NL
(New
Line)
character
,
an
EOI
(End-Or-Identify)
asserted
in
the
GPIB
interface
,
or
a
combination
of
the
two
.
Asserting
the
EOI
sets
the
EOI
control
line
low
on
the
last
byte
of
the
data
message
.
The
NL
character
is
an
ASCII
linefeed
(decimal
10).

The
NL
(New

terminator
has
the

function
as
an
EOS

String)
and
EO
T
(End
Of
T
ext)
terminator
.
