$image\BLTLRGSQ.gif$ Boards that Support the Function $image\SETUP.gif$ $image\SANBTN.gif$

$image\head10.gif$ Operation Transmits data. When transmits binary data by VB, use GpTalkBinary.

$image\head10.gif$ Format

(VB.NET)

Dim Srlen, Ret As Integer

Dim Cmd(xxxx) As Integer ' (xxxx specifies the maximum number of command arrays)

Dim Srbuf As String

Ret = GpTalk(Cmd, Srlen, Srbuf)

(C)

DWORD Srlen, Ret;

DWORD * Cmd;

char * Srbuf;

Ret = GpTalk(Cmd, Srlen, Srbuf);

(C#)

uint Srlen, Ret;

uint[] Cmd = new uint[xxxx]; /* (xxxx specifies the maximum number of command arrays) */

string Srbuf;

Ret = gpib.Talk(Cmd, Srlen, Srbuf);

(Python)

Srlen, Ret = ctypes.c_ulong(), ctypes.c_ulong()

Cmd = (ctypes.c_ulong * xxxx)() # (xxxx specifies the maximum number of command arrays)

Srbuf = (ctypes.c_ubyte * xxxx)() # (xxxx specifies the maximum amount of data)

Ret.value = GpibPy.GpTalk(Cmd, Srlen, Srbuf)

$image\head10.gif$ Mode Master mode/Slave mode

$image\head10.gif$ Parameters

Cmd :

[0] Number of talkers and listeners ( = Number of listeners+1)

(Slave mode = 0)

[1] Talker address

[2] Listener address

$image\CONTINUE.gif$

Srlen : Transmit data length (byte)

Srbuf : Transmit data

SrbufB : Transmit data array(for binary)

Ret : Return value

0 : Normal completion

80 : GpIni() hasn't execute

140 : Asynchronous function is executing now

240 : ESC key pressed

242 : Miss in address specified

243 : Miss in buffers

252 : GP-IB error

254 : Timeout

255 : Illegal call

(See "Return Values" for details.)

$image\head10.gif$ Notes

1 Command array:
Since the number of commands to be sent is given to Cmd[0], specify 0 for Cmd[0] in slave mode.

2 1Mbyte will be sent if transmit data length = 0.

3 If you have already used DOS-Version, you do not need to execute Dmainuse function when using FIFO.
