Common NI-488 Functions in ibic
ibfind
To execute any NI-488 function in ibic, you must first use ibfind to open
the device or board you want to communicate with. When the device or board is
opened, the symbolic name of that device or board is added to the prompt. The
unit descriptor of a board or device is returned.
The following example shows ibfind opening dev1.
:
ibfind dev1
id = 32259
dev1:
The returned value is the unit descriptor of the board.
The name used with the ibfind function must be a valid symbolic name
known by the driver. dev1 is the default name found in the driver. For more
information about valid names, refer to Chapter 7, ibconf—Interface Bus
Configuration Utility.
ibdev
The ibdev command selects an unopened device, opens it, and initializes its
access board.
