Using

SET

Use

IBFIND

to open each device or board. Once the device or board is

opened, use the auxiliary function

SET

to select which opened device

or board to access.

SET

changes the prompt to the new symbolic name.

Example:

dev1:

plotter:

set plotter

This example assumes that

IBCONF

was used to give a device the

name plotter.
