About two years ago, I downloaded the GPIB source
for LINUX from a
website. I don't recall the URL but you should be
able to find it on
google. I never could get it to compile on my LINUX
box but, you might
have better luck. I was involved in some other
projects so, didn't spend
too much time tinkering with it. If you are
proficient in "C" you might
be able to get it to work.
I have the compiled code installed on my machine.
There were a couple of syntax errors somewhere in it.
If you're interested I will send you the fixes.
So... If you want to learn the basics of HPIB, hook
up one of the
printers to the analyzer and try sending the control
sequences. All you
have to do is address the printer to listen to the
bus and send an ASCII
string. The printer should print the string as you
send it.
Works like a charm. Good instructions. Thanks ! I'll
program your example using the gpib library for Linux
and then experiment from there.
Regards,
Dave
