HP 1650B User Manual

Definite-Length Block Definite-length block response data allows any type of device-dependent
Response Data data to be transmitted over the system interface as a series of g-bit binary
data bytes. This is particularly useful for sending large quantities of data
or g-bit extended ASCII codes. The syntax is a pound sign ( # ) followed
by a non-zero digit representing the number of digits in the decimal
integer. After the non-zero digit is the decimal integer that states the
number of g-bit data bytes being sent. This is followed by the actual data.
For example, for transmitting 80 bytes of data, the syntax would be:
NUMBER OF DIGITS
THAT FOLLOW
ACTUAL DATA
/ -
#800000080<elghty bytes of data><terminator>
NUMBER OF BYTES
TO BE TRANSMITTED
Figure 1-3. Definite-length Block Response Data
The “8” states the number of digits that follow, and ‘WOOOO80” states the
number of bytes to be transmitted.
’
Note !!b
Indefinite-length block data is not supported on the HP1650B/51B.
