[comp.sys.dec] IEEE 488 Support on a DECstation 2100/3100

kerm@mcnc.org (Cary E. Burnette) (01/10/91)

Hello:

I am looking for some solutions in controling IEEE 488
devices from a DECstation 2100/3100. I have seen a catalog
from a company called IOtech, they have a SCSI <--> IEEE
box for VAXstations and soon for DEC 5000's. Our DEC sales rep.
has heard of something that DEC sales but could not give any
good answers.

Is there anybody out there with a solution to this problem ?

Thanks

Yes, there is support for IOtech's SCSI<-->IEEE 488 bus converter
for both VMS (VAXstation 3100) and RISC/ULTRIX (DECstation family).
The product is called "DEC Realtime Test Integrator", and can be
seen at ATE West next week.  It provides a DECwindows interface
and a programming interface, and will be available shortly.

Actually, it is the same box. The drivers are a little different ;^)

There is also (on the DECstation 5000) TURBOchannel IEEE interfaces made
by third parties, though you asked specifically about the 2100/3100, which
are not TURBOchannel based machines...
