Configuring GPIB Interfaces
When the 82341 ISA GPIB Card Configuration screen appears, set the VISA
and SICL Interface Names and the Logical Unit, IRQ Line, and Bus Address
values as required. Then, click the
OK button. If you have more than one
82341 card in your system, repeat for remaining cards.
Example:
Configuring GPIB
(82341) Interface
The GPIB interface system in the following figure consists of a Windows PC
with two 82341 GPIB cards connected to three GPIB instruments via GPIB
cables. For this system, the IO Config utility has been used to assign GPIB
card #1 a VISA name of “GPIB0” and a SICL name of “hpib7”. IO Config has
also been used to assign GPIB card #2 a VISA name of “GPIB1” and a SICL
name of “hpib8”. With these names assigned to the interfaces, the
VISA/SICL addressing is as shown in the figure.
NOTE
After the system is configured, this screen may also display an
Edit VISA
Config...
button. Clicking this button allows you to manually configure the
interface as desired. See the IO Libraries Readme file for details.
