LIF SCAN
Checks the PC for internal floppy drives and for HP-IB interface boards and then looks for disk drives
(capable of reading LIF disks) connected to HP-IB.
This command displays the drive specifiers of all valid disk drives which may contain LIF files. Either a
Hewlett-Packard HP-IB card or a National Instrument GPIB-PCII (or AT-GPIB) card (or compatible)
will be recognized.
The drive specifier for the HP-IB disk drive consists of an address in the form SSAA[UU], where:
• SS is the select code.
For the HP card the select code is from 1 to 16.
For the National Instrument card, the select code is 1 plus the board number (for example, 1 for
board ‘’GPIB0’’ and 2 for board ‘’GPIB1’’).
• AA is the HP-IB address of the disk drive (00 to 07).
• [UU] is the optional unit of the disk drive (00 to 15). The default unit is 0.
