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 contains a list of GPIB devices which receive instructions from the function to conduct their self-test procedures. 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
result list Each device returns an integer code signifying the results of its tests. TestSys returns these codes in the corresponding elements of result list. A result code of 0 indicates the device passed its tests. Any other value indicates the tests resulted in an error. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
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.
