	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.
	address list sends the GPIB Remote Enable (REN) command to the devices listed in address list. If the address list terminal is not wired, the function performs no addressing, and the Remote Enable (REN) line asserts. If a secondary address is required, use the MakeAddr function to put the primary and secondary addresses in the proper format.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	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. Status Bit Numeric Value Symbolic Status Description 0 1 DCAS Device Clear state 1 2 DTAS Device Trigger State 2 4 LACS Listener Active 3 8 TACS Talker Active 4 16 ATN Attention Asserted 5 32 CIC Controller-In-Charge 6 64 REM Remote State 7 128 LOK Lockout State 8 256 CMPL Operation Completed 12 4096 SRQI SRQ Detected while CIC 13 8192 END EOI or EOS Detected 14 16384 TIMO Timeout 15 -32768 ERR Error Detected
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
