Sends data bytes to multiple GPIB devices.

This function is similar to the Send function, except that SendList sends data to multiple listeners with only one transmission.

Refer to GPIB Function Defaults for more information about the timeout and address defaults.

Inputs/Outputs

  • ci32.png bus

    bus refers to the GPIB bus number. If you have only one GPIB interface in your computer, the default bus number is 0.

    Refer to the software installation instructions included with the GPIB controller for additional GPIB interfaces.

  • c1di16.png address list

    address list array contains a list of GPIB addresses for devices, which the function addresses as Listeners.

    If a secondary address is required, use the MakeAddr function to put the primary and secondary addresses in the proper format.

  • ci16.png mode

    mode describes how to signal the end of the data to the Listener.

    This input accepts the following values.

    0Do nothing to mark the end of the transfer (default).
    1Send NL (linefeed) with EOI after the data bytes.
    2Send EOI with the last data byte in the string.
  • cstr.png data string

    data string contains the data bytes that the function sends to the addressed devices.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • i1dbool.png status

    status is a Boolean array in which each bit describes a state of the GPIB Controller.

    If an error occurs, the function sets bit 15. GPIB error is valid only if bit 15 of status is set.

    The following table shows the numeric value and symbolic status of each bit in status. This table also includes a description of each bit.

  • ii32.png byte count

    byte count refers to the number of bytes that pass over the GPIB.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
