    • Press OK button
      
  • reinitialise the HP-IL loop and reconfigure the devices in the loop
    
    Code:
    

    RESET HPIL
RESTORE IO
  • Get device accessory identifier
    
    Code:
    

    Address :  Request   :  Display  : Hex value       : Display :
   1    :  DEVAID(1) :    46     : DTH$(DEVAID(1)) :  0002E  :
   2    :  DEVAID(2) :    16     : DTH$(DEVAID(2)) :  00010  :
   3    :  DEVAID(3) :    16     : DTH$(DEVAID(3)) :  00010  :
   4    :  DEVAID(4) :    76     : DTH$(DEVAID(4)) :  0004E  :
   5    :  DEVAID(5) :    -1     : HP-IL SAI message is not supported by the peripheral
  • Get device identifier
    
    Code:
    

    Address :  Request   : Display   : 
   1    :  DEVID$(1) : "DISPLAY" : 
   2    :  DEVID$(2) : "HP9114B" : 
   3    :  DEVID$(3) : "HDRIVE1" : 
   4    :  DEVID$(4) : "DOSLINK" : 
   5    :  DEVID$(5) : "HP3468B" :

You are now ready to use your virtual and physical peripherals, have fun!
