Controlling The Hp-Ib Interface - HP 9000 Series 300 Tutorials Manual

Controlling the HP-IB Interface
The general-purpose subroutines discussed in Chapter 2 are used to set up
and handle data transfers at a high level. However, they do not control the
lower-level interface operations that are necessary to maintain proper bus
operation and control interaction between HP-IB devices.

This chapter explains the use of subroutines in the Device I/O Library that
are directly related to HP-IB interface control. Chapter 4 covers comparable
material for the GPIO interface. This chapter presents a brief overview of
HP-IB commands, followed by a detailed discussion of HP-IB DIL subroutines
including how they are used to control bus activity and manage bus traffic.
