Using the Interface Boards

Using the GPIB interface

Description

All GPIB operations have been tested using a
NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS GPIB controller
and sample programs. All interface cards
conforming to the IEEE488 standard should be
compatible with the PSB-001 interface board.
However, compatibility cannot be assured.

The PSB-001 accepts the following delimiters:
LF (0×0A), EOI, and LF (0×0A) + EOI. It sends a
response using LF (0×0A) + EOI only.

When using the local bus through GPIB, control
must be returned to the master unit after
transferring commands to the slave units

.

Unless control has been returned to the master
unit, the GPIB controller on the PC may fail to
recognize the interface board properly.

The Personal Computer Address may be set
only when the System Address is set to 1. The
Personal Computer Address is used to represent
the GPIB address.
