from the factory settings. Otherwise, it is unnecessary to run
IBCONF. Consult the appropriate supplement to Section Two

model.

Running IBCONF

When you ran IBSTART, a copy of IBCONF.EXE was placed on your
boot drive.
To run IBCONF, go to the root directory of the boot drive and enter:
ibconf
If you have a color monitor, the configuration program will
automatically appear in color. If you have a color monitor but want the
configuration program to appear in monochrome, enter:
ibconf -m
IBCONF scans the handler file, GPIB.COM, and reads its data structures
into memory. After you press a key, the program displays the Device
Map for board GPIB0.
