NI-488 function groups available for the GPIB-PCIIB. The functions are
described in the order you will most likely use them. Pay special attention
to the device functions, which are found in Group I, Group II, and Group

After reading about these functions and their capabilities, practice using
them with your programmable instrument or device in an interactive
environment using the
