I forgot to add that you can also specify a single command table entry with GPIBSRQHANDLER:
GPIBSRQHANDLER
This is used to handle an unsolicited SRQ from gpibAddr, i.e. a device raises SRQ when a read wait, e.g. GPIBREADW or GPIBEFASTIW, is not active. This request is implemented only for longin records. When the device issues an SRQ, the status byte is put into the val field and the record is processed. It is expected that the record will forward link to records that issue GPIB commands to read the information that caused the SRQ.
