What are the exact steps to make my PC a talker/listener using 488.2 and GPIB-USB-HS

[sleeterd]

I wish to make my PC become a talker/listener using NI 488.2 driver and the GPIB-USB-HS. 

1) can this be accomplished using device level commands, if so how do I configure the interface to not be the CIC, and how do I establish the GPIB address of my PC acting as a pseudo device

2) if I need to use board level commands, what are they.  What is an example of setup commands and polling loops necessary.  How do I talk and listen

Thanks in advance

Hello Sleetered,

Here is a zip file that I have used to use the NI-GPIB hardware and NI-488.2 driver to act as an instrument.  The basic idea is to spin in a loop until your addressing changes.  Then read or write.  Read also includes parsing the command and queueing up the response.  However the response will not be output until the instrument is addressed to talk.

I hope this helps,
