Refer to 5.2.3
∧ END
<PROGRAM MESSAGE TERMINATOR> terminates a sequence of one or more fixed-length <PROGRAM
MESSAGE UNIT> elements.
NL: Defined as a single ASCII code byte 0A (decimal 10). That is, it is an ASCII
control character LF (Line Feed) that moves the printing position down one line.
As printing starts at a new line, it is also called NL (New Line). When sending
<PROGRAM MESSAGE> with a WRITE@ statement, the WRITE@ statement
automatically issues CR/LF. So the CR/LF codes need not be written in the pro-
gram. To generate only the LF code, the following statement must be executed at
the beginning of the program.
TERM IS CHR $ (10)
END: Sets the EOI line, one of GPIB control buses, at the LOW level (TRUE), generat-
ing an EOI signal.
