8-7. Using Interface Boards
8-7-1. Using the GP-IB interface
・
We checked GP-IB operations using the NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
interface board and provide sample programs
※
1
. All interface
boards conforming to the IEEE488 Standards will work free from
troubles, and the user may use any board. However, it may take
long time to provide support or we cannot take proper actions,
depending on the types of interface boards. Please note this.
・
The IF-60GP accepts the delimiters LF (0
×
0A), EOI, and LF
(0
×
0A) + EOI. It sends a response in LF (0
×
0A) + EOI only.
・
When using the local bus through GP-IB, 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 GP-IB tool
in the Personal computer may fail to recognize the interface board
properly.
