Application Test Definition
GPIB I/O
Read String Reads a string value from the specified GPIB device.
Address GPIB address of the target device
String String variable name. Used to store the returned value.
Length To Read Byte length of the string value to read
Length Actually
Rea
d Numeric vari
able name. Used to store the byte length of the
returned value. If the Length T
o Read is large enough and the
terminator is sent with the returned string value, the value of
this numeric variable is smaller than the specified Length To
Read.
Terminator Terminator, DEFAULT, EOI, CR/LF+EOI, LF+EOI, CR/LF,
LF, or NONE (not
specified)
Terminated Numeric variable name. Used to store the execution result. If
reading is co
mpleted by the terminator, 1 is entered. Otherwise,
0 is entered.
Timeout Timeout. The value must be less than 2
31
s, 1 ms resolution.
0 does not set timeout.
Read Value Reads a numeric value from the s
pecified GPIB device.
Addr
ess GPIB address of the target device
Value Numeric variable name. Used to store the returned value.
Preamble String variable name. Used to store preamble of the returned
v
alue. Th
e preamble is a part considered as non-numeric value.
If this field is not set, the preamble is deleted.
Postamble String variable name. Used to store postamble of the returned
value. The pos
tamble is a part considered as non-numeric value.
If this field is not set, the postamble is deleted.
Success Numeric variable name. Used to store the execution result. For
the successf
ul result, 1 is entered. Otherwise, 0 is entered.
Terminator Terminator, DEFAULT, EOI, CR/LF+EOI, LF+EOI, CR/LF,
LF, or NONE (not
specified)
Timeout Timeout. The value must be less than 2
31
s, 1 ms resolution.
0 does not set timeout.
