I have been working on reading data from my Racal-Dana 1992 counter's GPIB.
I've set the address to 7 and turned on talk only. According to the
manual that
will start sending data from address 15.
I have installed gpib on an old computer running Fedora 16. The GPIB
board is a
ISA bus National Instruments GPIB board. linux GPIB /etc/gpib.conf:
interface {
minor = 0
board_type = "pcIIa"
pad = 0
sad = 0
timeout = T3s
eos = 0x0a
set-reos = yes
set-bin = no
base = 0x2e1
irq = 7
dma = 1
master = yes
}
/* Now the device sections define the device characteristics for each
device.
* These are only used if you want to open the device using ibfind()
(instead
* of ibdev() )
*/
device {
minor = 0
name = "counter"
pad = 7
sad = 0
}
Program to read and display the readings.
#define LL 132
char line[LL];
main(argc, argv)
{
while (1) {
Receive (0, 15, line, LL, 1);
puts (line);
}
}
The program prints a blank line every few seconds.
No frequency readings.
What am I doing wrong??
