Setting up a GPIB communication and need a remote terminal

I am using GPIB to program a processor, which I do not currently have access to. Is it possible to use another PC w/ a GPIB card installed and an application to set up a remote terminal that I can perform reads and writes so that I can test my application.

Hi,

You can use GPIB to exchange data between to PCs. In this case, one of the GPIB interface has to be configured as a non-controller and execute a program that perform GPIB I/O based on the controller addressing commands.

This operation is described on this article: Computer to Computer Communication via the GPIB. Also check LabVIEW Always Sets GPIB Boards as System Controllers

The non-controller application acts as the firmaware used in embedded devices (Instrument using GPIB ports).

You would need to implement the whole communication protocol to determin
e how the terminal works.

Hope this helps.
