I/O Table Operations

ATEasy provides six types of operations for use in an I/O Table:

 

Operation

Description

For more information, see:

Output

Appends data at the current Output buffer pointer and then advances the pointer to where the newly-appended data in the buffer ends. Use Output operations before the Send operation.

Output Properties

Send

Transmits the data from the Output buffer to a device, flushes the buffer, and moves the buffer pointer back to the beginning of the buffer. Precede the Send operation with at least one Output operation

Send Properties

Receive

Reads the data from the device and puts it into the Input buffer and then sets the pointer to the beginning of the buffer. Use the Receive operation before the Input operations.

Receive Properties

Input

Moves data from the Input buffer into a variable, and advances the buffer pointer. Each Input operation may be preceded by one or more Receive operations. Precede the Input operations with a Receive operation.

Input Properties

Delay

Creates a delay between I/O operations.

Delay Properties

Trigger

For GPIB, generates a hardware trigger called Group Execute Trigger (GET). For VXI, generates a trigger called Word Serial Pull (WSP).
