RECEIVESETUP(3)

✨ RECEIVESETUP ✨ (that's a 3 section page, bestie — library calls only 💅)

okay so this is literally the recvsetup page from the <gpib/ib.h> girlies, and we're about to make it make sense 🌸

---

🫶 NAME 🫶

ReceiveSetup — she does receive addressing, and that's the whole job. iconic of her honestly 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gpib/ib.h>

void ReceiveSetup(int board_desc, Addr4882_t address);

two args, no return value, we love a low-maintenance function 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what's actually happening here:

• ReceiveSetup() takes the device that address points at and addresses it as the talker 🗣️
• and it addresses the interface board as the listener 👂

then, bestie, you hit it with a RcvRespMsg() call afterwards and that's what actually reads the data off the device. the setup just sets the stage — main character energy, no lines yet 🎭

ngl, you might find it simpler to just use the slightly higher level function Receive() instead 💫 — because that one doesn't make you do the addressing and the reading-of-data as two separate steps. one and done, no cap.
