Introduction
Management of devices on MS Windows controllers are
very different than on UNIX controllers.
On MS Windows controllers, most devices are managed
invisibly by the operating system. A small number of
devices (primarily GPIB) are mirrored in the
$AGILENT3070_ROOT/dev directory so that the 3070
software will execute properly.
Location of Device Files
Device files can be found in the directory:
$AGILENT3070_ROOT/dev
and are listed in Table 8-14.
If a DUT Power Supply is Replaced
Change the appropriate ps<x> file if the GPIB address
of any power supply changes.
Example 2 shows the contents of the default ps0 file. In
the line:
7,22
22
represents the GPIB address.
