[comp.sys.hp] Help with HPIB!!!

blaise@killer.UUCP (Walter Wilinsky) (07/30/87)

Could someone help me? I have an Integral PC with most of HP-UX in ROM
(i.e. cc, cdb,...) but when you get HP-UX in ROM you don't get the HP-UX 
manuals. I am trying to communicate through the HPIB to a TEK scope and
the Device I/O Libraries are no help. If anyone has some c or pascal source
that demonstrates how to talk through the HPIB under HP-UX could you please
e-mail it to me. I have ordered the manuals but I can't wait that long to get
started (the boss wants some results SOON).

Thanks in advance.

Normally, I would have responded to your note by mail.  I feel the
need, however, to correct one statement in your note - you do indeed
get HP-UX manuals with the Software Engineering ROM, albeit soft
versions only.  That is, you have the man(1) pages on diskette.

Have you checked the hpib.4 man page?  It's on disk VI in the cat4
directory.  To save space, all the man pages have been run through
compress(1) - uncompress(1) and zcat(1) are in the SE-ROM.  Man pages
for compress, et al., are on disk V.

I hope this helps.
