The nature of GPIB suggests that there _was_ no particular application.
Typically (in the instrument world) have a data collection/logger
package and you use GPIB to get data into your application, or, very
commonly, especially 10+ years ago, you rolled your own.
Yes, that's what I meant. I didn't think I needed to explain
GPIB to this crowd. On the other hand, I don't remember ASDG
demo-ing any particular application when they shipped it.
ASDG was a mile or two from my apartment in Madison at the
time. I remember seeing the iSBX-based cards they tried at
that time.
