GPIB 488.2 Library Reference
This chapter describes each of the 488.2 GPIB library routines. A short
description of the routine, its syntax, parameters, any values that are
returned, any special usage notes, and an example are included for each
routine. The routines are listed in alphabetical order. The following table
lists all of the 488.2 GPIB library routines. A full description of each
routine follows the table.
Note 488.2 addresses contain two bytes packed into a word – the low byte is the primary
address and the high byte is the secondary address. If secondary addressing is not used, the
high byte should be zero.
488.2 routines use a board index as the first argument (typically zero) – not a handle.
