Hi everybody

 

I am new in this forum so I hope I am respecting all the rules

 

I try to read data from the GPIB bus with a PIC 18F4525.

 

to open the communication I use the command

 

ibdev 0 1 0 10 1 0

 

so the board address is 0

the primary address of the device is 1 (as in the PIC)

the secondary address of the device is 0

the timeout is 10 seconds

the EOI is in use

the EOS is not in use

 

that I send the command

 

ibwrt "*IDN?" 

and the first byte my PIC receives is 0x40 that should me a "TALKER" command to the address 0

 

I supposed that the PIC should receive a "LISTENER" command to the address 1 first , then the string "*ATN?" as data, and at the end a "TALKER" command with the address 1

 

is it right?

 

can anybody help me?

 

Thanks

Is your PIC capable of controlling 16 signal lines simultaneously?
