The synatx for ibconfig is ibconfig(int ud, int option, int value). So doing
ibconfig(ibcsc,...) would lead to an error.
In any case, if you know you want to use the board as a non-controller, here's
what you can try:
A Talker/Listener application typically uses ibwait with a mask of 0 to
monitor the status of the interface. Then, based on the status bits set in
ibsta, the application takes whatever action is appropriate. For example,the
application could monitor the status bits TACS (Talker Active State) and
LACS (Listener Active State) to determine when to send data to or receive
data from the Controller. The application could also monitor the DCAS
(Device Clear Active State) and DTAS (Device Trigger Active State) bits
to determine if the Controller ha
s sent the device clear (DCL or SDC) or
trigger (GET) messages to the interface. If the application detects a device
clear from the Controller, it might reset the internal state of message
buffers. If it detects a trigger message from the Controller, the application
might begin an operation, such as taking a voltage reading if the application
is actually acting as a voltmeter.
