HP-Basic on HP-85



#5

I'm working on an old fiber tester from the beginning of the 80's. This has HPIB interface, and I just bought a GPIB-USB interface.
Having some problems translating the HP-Basic code to modern GPIB commands.
Do someone know how to send equalent commands with the NI-488.2 software?

RESET 7
OUTPUT 708 USING "#,B"; 72,75
ENTER 708; X,Y,Z

Did you run the NI-488 Troubleshooting wizard and did it successfully detect the instrument on HP-IB address 8?

Then you have the choice of:

- either use the Interactive Control Utility to send commands/receive data
- or program directly your application.

Then, the correspondence between the NI-488 keywords & Hp-Basic should be:

RESET = ibclr

OUTPUT = ibwrt

ENTER = ibrd

Sorry but as I don't remember the precise syntax, please check the NI-488.2 guide

Or maybe somebody else will help you further.

Thanks! I'll try that.


#8

By the way and if I remember well, there is no equivalent to the "USING" 85' Basic statement in NI 488.2 language.

Therefore, I think you have to make sure your data is correctly formatted before submitting the ibwrt statement.

Good luck.
