For the record, the installation process completed without issue on a Windows 10 machine
?
I also installed the National Instruments GPIB driver package (strong competitor for the world's largest driver download).?
?
For GPIB hardware I used an NI USB-GPIB.? Amongst many other things, the NI driver installs a program (NIMax) where GPIB hardware installed on the machine can be interrogated.? In this program you can check that the hardware is installed correctly and the name that has been assigned to the interface.?
In my case 'GPIB0' i.e. the zeroth GPIB interface
?
To open the GPIB interface in BASIC you need to include the line
?
LOAD BIN "GPIBNI; DEV GPIB0"? ? ?<----- note the name used here is the one shown in NIMax
?
Then use regular HPBASIC commands to talk to hardware? i.e.
?
ASSIGN @Isc TO 7
ASSIGN @Scope TO 707
CLEAR @Isc
OUTPUT @Scope; "*RST"
OUTPUT @Scope; "*IDN?"
ENTER @Scope; Id$
?
etc.
?
From a fresh machine to talking to hardware in about 30 mins
