To compile the file
cib.c
and create a C language library, enter the
following commands.
cc -c cib.c
ar rv /usr/lib/libgpib.a cib.o
Alternatively, you can add
cib.o
to an existing library or include

during the link phase of each compile operation.
D. Ensure the Software and Hardware Settings Match
1.
Compare your AT-GPIB hardware settings with the default software
settings. If you configured your hardware with a setting other than the
settings shown in Table 3-1, you must also configure the software to

the first board, and gpib1 is the name of the second board.
If your hardware and software settings are identical, go to Step E. If not,
continue with the following step.
