Clock or bus?
Clock. I'm not sure what buss speed I've run them at, it's not
adjustable in my PC.
I would
certainly appreciate a copy of the manual. Seems like I picked
up an ISA HP-IL card a while back and the software to drive it, too.
Those are cool but they only run on a slow PC ( <~30 MHz). If
Gotcha!
I interpret correctly, you are telling me that the
HP-IL/RS-232C
Interface is a receive only device, or am I misreading you.
You can consider it recieve only but it recieves from either side! Then
it transmits out the opposite side. It can be both a talker and a reciever but it
has no controller
capability. It's used as a translator between HP-IL loop and RS-232 bus. It
can send data either way but you have to have some sort of a HP-IL capable
computer to act as the IL loop controller. For example you can use a HP
calculator with the IL interface and this device to drive a RS-232 printer
or you could use them to operate a meter with a RS-232 inteface (both
sending and receiving). But you can't use a computer with a RS-232
interface and this to run HP-IL equipment like a HP 3468 meter.
OK, I think I have the picture now.
