Commands:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| StateInput: DevVoid Output: State |
This command gets the device state (stored in its device_state data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| StatusInput: DevVoid Output: DevString |
This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| WriteInput: DevString Output: DevVoid |
This command send a string to the device. Throws devFailed on error. |
| ReadInput: DevVoid Output: DevString |
This command reads a string from a gpib device. Throws an DevFailed exception on error |
| CloseInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Close a previously opened gpib device. Throws exception on error. |
| ReadLongStringInput: DevLong Output: DevString |
For most gpib device the read command is enough to talk with the device. In certain case, the gpibDevice returns a very big string, which is larger than the read buffer. For concret example, on :CALC:DATA? command, the hp3588 returns 400 strings representing a spectrum, for a total size> 4Kbytes. This method reads these sort of long string. For efficiency, its better to use the read command instead of readLongString. This method is provided for exceptionnal case. Throws DevFailed on error. |
| GetNameInput: DevVoid Output: DevString |
Return the gpib device name, as define on the gpib Driver (see them with ibconf tool). Throws DevFailed on error |
| LocalInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Set the gpib device in local mode. Throws DevFailed on error. |
| RemoteInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Set the gpib device in remote mode. This command is here for compatibility, since network access to a gpib Device, will automatically turn it to remote mode. Throws DevFailed on error. |
| GetiberrInput: DevVoid Output: DevLong |
This command returns last gpib device error code (lib gpib iberr). Throws DevFailed on error. |
| GetibstaInput: DevVoid Output: DevLong |
This command returns last gpib device state code (lib gpib ibsta). Throws DevFailed on error. |
| GetibcntInput: DevVoid Output: DevULong |
This command returns last gpib device count var (lib gpib ibcnt). Throws DevFailed on error. |
| ClearInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
This command clears the gpib device. Throws DevFailed exception on error. |
| SetTimeOutInput: DevShort Output: DevVoid |
This command set Time Out value for the gpib device. Warning these values are predefined, cf gpibDevice.h accepted value are [0-15]. Throws DevFailed exception on error. |
| BCsendIFCInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
This commands send IFC to the gpib Board0. So the board becomes Controller In Charge and devices are cleared. All commands beginning with`BC` are Board Commands. Throws DevFailed exception on error. |
| BCclrInput: DevLong Output: DevVoid |
This command clears a specified device. Throws DevFailed exception on error. |
| GetDeviceIDInput: DevVoid Output: DevLong |
This command return internal gpib device ID. This is usefull for board command using this ID to acces devices, as BCclr cmd. Throws DevFailed exception on error. |
| BClloInput: DevLong Output: DevVoid |
This command send a local lockout to the specified device. Throws DevFailed exception on error. |
| BCcmdInput: DevString Output: DevVoid |
Send a GPIB command message. This method is not used to transmit programming instruction to devices this kind of instructions are transmitted with the read / write methods. As done in write method, cmd automatically append EOS, as defined with setEOS method. |
| OpenInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
This command opens a gpib device using the gpibDeviceAddress property. This command should not be used since gpib device is open on device server initialisation. Its provided in case of problem to do it manually. Throws DevFailed exception on error. This command is allowed on fault to accept reconnection. |
| OpenByNameInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
This command opens a gpib device using the gpibDeviceName property. This command should not be used since gpib device is opened on device server initialisation. Its provided in case of problem to do it manually. Throws DevFailed exception on error. This command is allowed on fault to accept reconnection. |
| BCGetConnectedDeviceListInput: DevVoid Output: DevVarStringArray |
This command returns the string array : + primary address + secondary address for 1st device found + primary address + secondary address for 2d device found ect .... ex: HEWLETT-PACKARD,3589A,3343A00642,A.00.03 PAD=6 SAD=0 |
| TriggerInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
This command sends a trigger signal to the GPIB device. If the device was previously set up, it can make its measurment, and send it on the bus. Measure is now get with a read command. |
| WriteReadInput: DevString Output: DevString |
This command perform a write on the GPIB device, and then perform a read to get the answer, before returning it. |
| ConfigInput: DevVarLongArray Output: DevVoid |
index 0 of input array is the GPIB option to modify. index 1 is the new value to associate to this option. |
| BCConfigInput: DevVarLongArray Output: DevVoid |
Same method than Config, but sent on gpib Board instead of GPIB device. |
| SendBinDataInput: DevVarCharArray Output: DevVoid |
This command send an array of binary data to the device through the GPIB bus. Throws devFailed on error. |
| ReceiveBinDataInput: DevLong Output: DevVarCharArray |
This command reads an array of binary data from a gpib device. Up to 65536 bytes. In generaly, a Gpib device can send or receive 64Ko. Throws an DevFailed exception on error |
