IEEE 488.2-style functions (also known as
NI-488.2 routines
) interactively

an application, you can use
ibic
to do the following:
•
Verify GPIB communication with your device quickly and easily
•
Become familiar with the commands of your device
•
Receive data from your GPIB device
•
Learn new functions and routines before integrating them into your
application
•
Troubleshoot problems with your application
