This is clearly OT, but maybe somebody in this list can give me some help.
Recently I bought an old GPIB controller, a Systron-Donner Busser II
model 3522. As my daughter said it looks like technology coming from
"Lost", but I want it to learn how to do some basic control of my GPIB
instruments before immersing in a more logical solution using a NI card
and a PC.
For starting, I made simple programs to record OCXO's drift and aging
against my Rb and for studying the charge and discharge of batteries.
This device is a small 6802 based computer that runs a Basic dialect
(Systron-Donner Basic v 2.a) and while the unit came without any
documentation I was able to reverse engineer its command set and other
information.
There is only a command that resist all my efforts so far, the command
STYLE that seems to be a kind of format facility for the PRINT command.
Anybody was exposed in the past to this technology or remember anything
about a Basic command named STYLE?
I can´t find the right syntax for this command.
Thanks in advance.
Ignacio, EB4APL
