We use a modified version of drvGpib.c/devCommonGpib.c. which allow user
to specify EOS character for GP-IB
device in  devGpibParmBlock structure. In other word, you must add an
additional field in your GP-IB device support
routine (and recompile it!).

If you are interested, please let me know. I'm happy to send them out.

Hello all -

The following comment in drvGpib.c says the EndOfString character terminator
is not supported for the NI1014. Has anyone added this feature for the

NI1014 ?
