Message Terminators

This manual uses <EOI> (End or Identify) to represent a message termina-

tor.

Symbol Meaning

<EOI> Message terminator

IfyouuseaGPIBnetwork,<EOI> can be the IEEE Std 488 EOI interface

symbol orLF (line feed). When using GPIB, the OA 5000 always accepts the

EOI interface symbolas an input message terminator.

The end-of-message terminatormay be either the END message (EOI

asserted concurrently with the lastdata byte), the ASCII code for line feed

(LF) sent as the last data byte, orboth.

The end-of message terminator shouldnot immediately follow a semicolon

(;).

The OA 5000 always terminates responsesto queries with linefeed and EOI

asserted.
