Halting an Output in Progress
You can send a device clear at any time to stop an output in progress
over the
GPIB interface. The status registers, the error queue, and all
configuration states are left unchanged when a device clear message is
received. Device clear performs the following actions:
The function generator’s input and output buffers are cleared.
The function generator is prepared to accept a new command string.
The following statement shows how to send a device clear over the
GPIB interface:
CLEAR 710
IEEE-488 Device Clear
The following statement shows how to send a device clear over the
GPIB interface using the GPIB Command Library for C or QuickBASIC:
IOCLEAR (710)
For RS-232 operation, sending the <Ctrl-C> character will perform the
same operation as the IEEE-488 device clear message. The function
generator’s DTR (data terminal ready) handshake line is set “true”
following a device clear message. See “DTR/DSR Handshake Protocol,”
on page 198 for further details.
