The End of String Register (EOSR) holds the byte used by the TLC to detect the end of a GPIB
data block transfer. A 7- or 8-bit byte (ASCII or binary) can be placed in the EOSR to be used in
detecting the end of a block of data. The length of the EOS byte to be used in the comparison is
selected by the BIN bit in AUXRA (AUXRA[4]w).
If the TLC is a Listener and bit REOS of AUXRA is set, the END bit is set in ISR1 whenever the
byte in the DIR matches the EOSR. If the TLC is a Talker and the data is being transmitted, and
XEOS bit of AUXRA is set, the END message (GPIB EOI* line asserted low) is sent along with
the data byte whenever the contents of the CDOR matches the EOSR.
