An
EOI
(End
Or
Identify)
sent
with
any
character
is
put
into
the
input
queue
as
the
character
followed
by
a
line
feed
(LF
,
0A
16
).
If
EOI
is
sent
with
a
LF
,
only
one
LF
is
put
into
the
input
queue
.

The
parser
starts
if
the
LF
character
is
received
or
if
the
input
queue
is
full.
Clearing
the
Input
Queue
Switching
the
power
o,
or
sending
a
Device
Interface
Clear
signal,
causes
commands
that
are
in
the
input
queue
,
but
have
not
been
executed
to
be
lost.
The
Output
Queue
The
output
queue
contains
responses
to
query
messages
.
The
polarization
controller
transmits
any
data
from
the
output
queue
when
a
controller
addresses
the
instrument
as
a
talker
.
Each
response
message
ends
with
a
LF
(0A
16
),
with
EOI=TRUE.
If
no
query
is
received,
or
if
the
query
has
an
error
,
the
output
queue
remains
empty
.
The
Message
A
vailable
bit
(MA
V
,
bit
4)
is
set
in
the
Status
Byte
register
whenever
there
is
data
in
the
output
queue
.
The
Error
Queue
The
error
queue
is
a
FIFO
queue
(rst-in
rst-out).
That
is
,
the
rst
error
read
is
the
oldest
error
to
have
occurred.
If
too
many
errors
are
put
into
the
queue
,
the
message
'-350
<Queue
Overow>'
is
placed
as
the
last
message
in
the
queue
.
Some
Notes
about
Programming
and
Syntax
Diagram
Conventions
A
program
message
is
a
message
containing
commands
or
queries
that
you
send
to
the
polarization
controller
.
The
following
are
a
few
points
about
program
messages:
Y
ou
can
use
either
upper-case
or
lower-case
characters
.
Y
ou
can
send
several
commands
in
a
single
message
.
Each
command
must
be
separated
from
the
next
one
by
a
semicolon
(;).
