[net.periphs] Need Info on IEEE-488 Software

pshaw@hhb.UUCP (Peter Shaw) (04/12/85)

We are looking into support for IEEE-488 (GPIB/HP-IB) on 4.2BSD.
In particular, we'd like to hear about 4.2 drivers for the many
different boards available for the many different bus architectures.
We'd be willing to retarget either commercially or publicly available
software if the match isn't perfect.

In addition, we'd be interested in hearing about any GPIB applications
software suitable for use with laboratory instrumentation currently
running under either 4.2BSD or System V.

We're aware of IEEE-488 boards from National Instruments, Mizar, Motorola,
and several others but on the software side, it's slim pickings.

For those interested, I'll provide a summary of what's out there.

Thanks,

Peter Shaw

Try looking at the Tektronix 6000 series computers.  4.2 based w/
a gpib interface built in.  I just had one here for demo & was impressed
with their gpib implementation.
