Any idea what's not working? It looks to me like the NI GPIB stuff is
MUCH more configurable than the HP or Tektronix.
There's probably not much reason to talk
to a 4041 unless you intend to
use it. And the only thing that it's good for is a GPIB controller. These
days it would be much simpler to just use a PC as a GPIB controller. NI
GPIB cards are easy to find, cheap, well documented and you can program
them in Assembly, C, Fortran, BASIC and (I think) Pascal.
Yes, however, I have heard various amounts of success in using a PC
with an NI GPIB controller talking to the CBM 8050. Apparently it
depends on the card/driver combination you use. Some will work and
some won't. In the HP's, it's OBVIOUS when
they're bad!
Yeah, in my 2648A with the dead capstan its a puddle of goop under the
pin! --
