Functions
This section describes the functions of the board.
Basic GPIB Functions
Master/slave function
The board can serve as the master (controller) or slave depending on the setting of API-TOOL
Configuration (API-GPIB(98/PC)xx) or Setup Utility (API-GPLV(W32)).
When used as the master, the board can send IFC (InterFace Clear) at any timing and control the REN
(Remote ENable) line.
Communication function
The board can send and receive data in accordance with the IEEE 488 Standard. You can add
delimiters and EOI (End of Identify) to outgoing data depending on the software settings.
Serial poll/parallel poll/SRQ send functions
The following functions can be used depending on the master/slave configuration.
Master
Serial poll
Parallel poll
Slave
Status byte setting
SRQ (Service ReQuest) transmission
Response to parallel polling
My address setting
The GPIB address (my address) of the board can be set by API-TOOL Configuration
(API-GPIB(98/PC)xx) or Configuration Utility (API-GPLV(W32)). No setting is required on the
board.
