HPIB Syntax Error at Status command
#1

Hi.
I have been trying to check an HPIB interface on my HP85 but have been unable to use a single command. For instance Status coomand gives Syntax Error, as if the command was unknown. Does anyone know whther this interface needs some sort of initialization before sending commands?

#2

Do you have an I/O module installed? The status command is provided by that module.

#3

Thanks Paul. I had no idea the IO module was necessary. I only have the matrix module. Unfortuntely i have not found that module for sale outside the USA. I will try to find one elsewhere.

#4

There are other options available, ROM images are readily available, on a couple web sites dedicated to the 80 series and there is a person in the US that is making EPROM boards and I understand he just did another production run, it is called the PRM-85, if you google PRM-85 you can find details. I also designed my own EPROM boards based on an older Lattice CPLD and have made the designs available at Paul's Projects
