Introduction Chapter 1 GPIB Addressing All GPIB devices and boards must be assigned a unique GPIB address. A GPIB address is made up of two parts: a primary address and an optional secondary address. The primary address is a number in the range 0 to 30. The GPIB Controller uses this address to form a talk or listen address that is sent over the GPIB when communicating with a device. A talk address is formed by setting bit 6, the TA (Talk Active) bit of the GPIB address. A listen address is for

Chapter 1 Introduction Handshake Lines Three hardware handshake lines asynchronously control the transfer of message bytes between devices. This process is a three-wire interlocked handshake, and it guarantees that devices send and receive message bytes on the data lines without transmission error. Table 1-1 summarizes the GPIB handshake lines. Table 1-1. GPIB Handshake Lines Line Description NRFD (not ready for data) Listening device is ready/not ready to receive a message byte. Also used by

Introduction Chapter 1 Setting Up and Configuring Your System Devices are usually connected with a cable assembly consisting of a shielded 24-conductor cable with both a plug and receptacle connector at each end. With this design, you can link devices in a linear configuration, a star configuration, or a combination of the two. Figure 1-2 shows the linear and star configurations. Linear Device A Configuration Device B Device C Star Configuration Device D Device A Device B Device C Figure 1-2.

Chapter 1 Introduction Controlling More Than One Board Multiboard drivers, such as the NI-488.2 driver for Windows, can control more than one interface board. Figure 1-3 shows an example of a multiboard system configuration. gpib0 is the access board for the voltmeter, and gpib1 is the access board for the plotter and printer. The control functions of the devices automatically access their respective boards. One GPIB Digital Voltmeter gpib0 Plotter Another gpib1 GPIB Printer Figure 1-3. Examp
