How to get GPIB Primary Address

How to get GPIB Primary Address

‎10-05-2001 09:26 AM

I'm using a device with a NAT9914 chipset and I would like to read the address from a register on the chipset. Is it possible? The only address register in write-only...

Thanks,
Michael

The best way to find the primary address (PAD) of the chip is to store it in a variable that can be accessed later. The ADR register is write-only and there are no status registers that have this information.
