Device IBWAIT Function:
When BD% specifies a device, only the ERR, TIMO, END, RQS, and
CMPL bits of the wait mask and status word are applicable. On an
IBWAIT for RQS, each time the GPIB SRQ line is asserted, the access
board of the specified device serially polls all devices on its GPIB and
saves the responses, until the status byte returned by the device being
waited for indicates that it was the device requesting service (bit &H40
is set in the status byte). Note that an IBWAIT on RQS should only be
done on those devices that respond to serial polls. If the TIMO bit of the
mask is also set, IBWAIT returns if SRQ is not asserted within the
device's timeout period. The serial polls are conducted with the board
functions IBCMD and IBRD.
Board IBWAIT Function:
When BD% specifies a board, all bits of the wait mask and status word
are applicable except RQS.
