This topic has been addressed several times in the past, but I have not
seen a satisfying answer yet.
The problem is that multiple devices need to be simulated on a GPIB bus
by a single PC or workstation. This requires listening to multiple
addresses and talking with varying addresses.
In DOS times there was a C interface routine GotoMultAddr() but this was
dropped in the Windows library. As an alternative, a call to
ibconfig(...,0x22,...) sets the board into listen-only mode, but I
haven't tried this yet.
The questions are:
1) Has anybody used the ibconfig/0x22 method for the purpose of multiple
device simulation yet?
2) Has anybody found a valid replacement for the GotoMultAddr()
function, or used it in a Windows environme
nt?
3) Is there any other way to achieve the goal of multi device simulation
on the GPIB bus?
Any response or comment will be appreciated.
