Exiting ibconf
After you make any changes in ibconf, use <F9> or<Esc> to exit the program.
If you have made changes to device/board characteristics, device names, or
device connections, the program first displays the prompt Save
configuration? before exiting. Type a y (yes) to save changes or n (no) to
delete changes.
Before exiting, if not in expert mode, ibconf automatically checks for
situations, such as the following, that can cause problems:
•
GPIB addressing conflicts between a device and its access board.
•
GPIB boards not present in the host machine at the specified address.
•
Timeouts disabled on a device or board.
•
Interrupt level of a board is the same as another board.
If ibconf detects any problems, it notifies you and gives you the option of
either re-entering or exiting ibconf. To disable automatic checking, use expert
mode by entering the following command when you start ibconf:
ibconf -e
