Solartron 1260 with 1287

[tartar813]

Yes, I am using the 1287 with this.  The ZPlot software uses an NI GPIB board so the spy program, or I/O Trace as it's now called can run while the zplot software is running. 

I will have to learn a little more on how to initialize different instrument (GPIB).  My only other experience about a year ago was writing some testing software but it was on a pxi 1042 platform.  It's a little different than the GPIB. 

I do have the manual, what I'm going to do is break it down step by step using the i/o trace and see if I can mimic the current application. 

I will post back here later on today with my results.

Ok, got the test running and correct results...  Probably 50-100 commands to get the test and run the test.  I just went line by line with the I/O Trace and mimic'd the commands.  Nice to have a working solutions in which I can copy off of.

Also nice that they were already using a NI board so I can get all the info that I needed.

I just have to cleanup the interface and put the results into the database and I am finished.

Thanks!
