My original purpose for getting the 41 and HP-IL in 1986 was to control IEEE-488 equipment on the workbench through the HP82169A HPIL-to-HPIB interface converter. The equipment consisted of things like signal generators, DMMs, and relay units, and they mostly had their own front-panel controls, so they could be used manually without external computer control, or under computer control for automated test setups. During program development, I might occasionally want to press the LOCAL button on one piece of equipment or another to check something by changing settings from the equipment's own front panel. I always used the 41 in MANIO (manual I/O address selection), because the HPIL-to-HPIB interface converter, although mostly transparent, did not have the autoaddressing like HP-IL does; so each piece of equipment on the IEEE-488 (HP-IB) had to be addressed with SELECT. There was no choice about that; and all of their addresses had to be above the number of things on HP-IL, and the interface converter had to be the last thing on the loop. Printer, mass storage, and anything else I had must come before the HP82196A. I have the FSI164A which was almost identical to the HP82164A except that it came with two RS-232 channels standard, and up to eight if you paid extra, and could be powered with batteries. I originally used it to control an EPROM programmer, and later, interfaced to other things on the workbench. I don't remember ever having any problem with it, although I heard it has a bug with even parity (which I never tried). Sylvain, I do find it a bit curious that you would use AUTOIO and then 1 SELECT. http://WilsonMinesCo.com (Lots of HP-41 links at the bottom of the links page, http://wilsonminesco.com/links.html ) |
