I am having problems interfacing our HP 9000/300 model 360 workstation to some of our test equipment via HPIB. Our test equipment consists of an HP 8180A data generator and an HP 8182A data analyzer. The generator has HPIB address 07 and the analyzer has address 00. How do I set up the HP 9000 to send and receive data to the test equipment? Grant L.

You need to create an hpib file under you /dev/rmb directory. My /dev/rmb looks like this. crw-rw-rw- 2 root other 12 0x000000 Sep 9 00:23 crt brw-rw-rw- 2 root other 2 0x070000 Sep 9 00:24 fd9121.0 brw-rw-rw- 2 root other 2 0x070010 Sep 9 00:24 fd9121.1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 21 0x071f00 Oct 6 09:38 hpib7 <--------- crw-rw-rw- 2 root other 7 0x070100 Sep 20 13:31 prt crw-rw-rw- 2 root other 11 0x070000 Sep 9 00:24 rfd9121.0 crw-rw-rw- 2 root other 11 0x070010 Sep 9 00:24 rfd9121.1 crw-rw-rw- 2 root other 21 0x070100 Sep 9 00:24 rprt crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 1 0x090004 Sep 9 00:24 serial9 crw-rw-rw- 2 root other 13 0x150000 Sep 9 00:24 srm crw-rw-rw- 2 root other 13 0x150000 Oct 18 08:33 srm.0 Refer to your periferal instalation guide for how to go about doing this.
