news:43***********************@news.sunsite.dk... Hi
I was wondering how does one detect the above character. It is returned
by
an instrument I am controlling via GPIB.
EOI = chr(n) # where n is ASCII number of the character.
# then whenever later
if gpid_in == EOI: #do whatever
Which begs the question, what is the ASCII number of the
character? I was curious enough to feed GPIB and EOI into
a search engine, and from what I got back, I believe it is
not a character, but rather a hardware line that may be
asserted or not. GPIB, whatever that is, may support some
configuration options where EOI causes a character output,
but the actual value depends on configuration. The documentation
is probably the place to find out more about this stuff.
