NI-488.2M SRM for OS/2

7.

If the RQS bit of the status word is still set after

ibrsp

is called, the

response byte queue contains at least one more response byte. If this
happens, you should continue to call

ibrsp

until RQS is cleared.

If no device responds positively to the serial poll or if SRQ remains in effect
because of a faulty instrument or cable, a GPIB system error occurs. In this
case, the ESRQ error is reported to you if and when you issue an

ibwait

call

with the RQS bit included in the wait mask. Aside from the difficulty caused
by ESRQ in waiting for RQS, the error has no detrimental effects on other
GPIB operations.

Autopolling and the Stuck SRQ State

If autopolling is enabled and the GPIB interface board detects an SRQ, all open
devices connected to that board are serial polled by the driver. The serial poll
continues until either SRQ unasserts or all the devices have been polled.

If the driver serial polls all devices and the SRQ line is still asserted, a stuck
SRQ state is in effect. If this happens during an

ibwait

for RQS, the driver

reports the ESRQ error. If the stuck SRQ state happens, no further polls are
attempted until either an

ibwait

for RQS or an

ibrsp

for the device whose

serial poll queue is full is made. When either

ibwait

or

ibrsp

for the device

whose serial poll is full is issued, the stuck SRQ state is terminated and a new
set of serial polls is attempted.

Autopolling and Interrupts

If autopolling and interrupts are both enabled, the NI-488.2M software can
perform autopolling after any device-level NI-488 call as long as no GPIB is
currently I/O in progress. This means that an automatic serial poll can occur
even when your application is not making any calls to the NI-488.2M software.
Autopolling can also occur when a device-level

ibwait

for RQS is in

progress. Autopolling is disallowed whenever an application makes a board-
level NI-488 function or any NI-488.2 routine or when the stuck SRQ (ESRQ)
condition occurs.

If autopolling is enabled and interrupts are disabled, you can use autopolling
only during a device-level

ibwait

for RQS or immediately after a device-level

NI-488 function is completed and before control is returned to the application
program.
