ALLSPOLL(3)

✨ ALLSPOLL(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is AllSPoll from the AllSPoll manual page — the one where you roll up to a whole squad of GPIB devices at once and ask them all "hey, how u doing?" 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gpib/ib.h>

void AllSPoll(int board_desc, Addr4882_t *addressList,
              short *resultList);

void AllSpoll(int board_desc, const Addr4882_t *addressList,
              short *resultList);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea, bestie ☕: AllSPoll() makes the interface board you picked with board_desc go and serial poll every single GPIB address chilling in the addressList array. Like, all of them. No one gets left out, periodt. 🫶

And the receipts? The results of all those serial polls get stashed right into resultList. That's the whole vibe check — one call, everybody answers. ✨

But lowkey, if you're only trying to serial poll one device, then ReadStatusByte() or ibrsp() might just be way more convenient for you. No shame, single-device polling is valid too. 🙈

Also!! This function can be called with the alternate capitalization AllSpoll — that's for compatibility with NI's library, so if you're coming from there, you'll feel right at home. iykyk 🎀

💀 tiny heads-up bestie: the synopsis shows two prototypes, and the second one takes a const Addr4882_t *addressList. That's not a typo, that's just how it's written. Copy it exactly, no cap.
