GPIB System Controller Settings
This section describes how to set up your GPIB system controller for proper message
termination and bus timing to communicate with the WA-1150 or WA-1650. Other
settings may work as well, but these are the settings that we’ve found to work the best.
Set EOI at End of Write = Yes
This causes the system controller to assert the EOI signal during the last byte of a
message written to the instrument.
Set EOI With EOS on Write = No
The system controller should not assert the EOI signal when it writes an EOS character.
The system controller should instead assert the EOI signal when sending the last byte of
the message (which will be an EOS character anyway).
EOS Byte = 10
The instrument uses a linefeed character (10, 0x0a, or \n) to identify the end of a
message.
8-Bit EOS Compare = Yes
