Mode
Type:
GPIB Configuration function
Syntax:
eos
[[X][B]eoschar]
<CR>
or
eos

<CR>
Purpose:
You use
eos
to enable the GPIB-232CT to add the GPIB
END message to the data string sent by the serial device when
the data string contains the specified end-of-string character.
Remarks:
eos
applies only when the GPIB-232CT has received the
serial device talk address and is sending serial data to the
GPIB. It does not apply when the GPIB-232CT reads serial
data or programming messages from the GPIB. The
arguments
X
,
B
, and
D
specify GPIB data transfer termination
methods.
The argument
eoschar
is a numeric string representing a
single ASCII character that is to be the EOS byte. The
arguments
X
and
B
are used to enable the corresponding EOS
mode. The argument
D
disables all EOS modes.
