I am using an E&S PS300 connected to a VAX running UN*X
and would like to send binary encoded vector lists to the
PS300 in order to decrease the time required to download
data to the PS300. I decided not to use the E&S supplied
I/O package because it is written in FORTRAN and designed
for VMS and am attempting to write my own binary encoding
routine. However, I am having trouble writing a C routine
to accomplish this.
I can encode a vector list into the E&S specified
binary format but can't get the PS300 to accept or display
the data either in the 8-bit or the 6-bit mode. I am using
P4.V01 software for both a 9600 baud interface and the DEC
DMR-11 56 kbaud interface. If anyone has a binary encoding
package or can offer insight in to this problem, I would
appreciate hearing from you. I am also interested in hear-
ing from others how they have interfaced their PS300s to
machines running UN*X.
If there is enough interest, responses will be posted
on the net.
thanks - Rab Hagy
