SRQ Transmitting and Confirming


Transmits SRQ and performs transfer of status byte to master.

 

 

Example:

Transmits SRQ and confirms whether master has received status byte.

short SrqSend, Stb;

 short SPoll;

        SrqSend = 1;                                                      // Sets to SRQ transmitting

        Stb = 10;                                                           // Sets status byte to 10

        Ret = GpibSendSRQ ( DevId, SrqSend, Stb );          // Transmits SRQ

        if ( Ret == 0 ) {                                                   // Confirms whether transfer normally completed

            SPoll = 0;                                                      //

            do {

                Ret = GpibCheckSPoll ( DevId, &SPoll, &Stb ); // Confirms whether serial poll is done

                if ( Ret != 0) break;                                      // Confirms whether it normally completed

            } while ( SPoll == 0 );                                        // Loops until serial poll is done

            if ( SPoll == 1) Printf ( "Serial Polling \n" );        // Displays message when serial poll is done

        }

 

 

Remarks:

Since a master does not surely need to accept a status byte even if it receives SRQ, it may not escape from the do-while loop in the above example.
