The host computer requires an interface driver that handles the transactions between the operator’s programs

and the interface board.
In the case of the National Instruments interface, the installation procedure will:
• Copy the GPIB handler GPIB.COM into the boot directory.
• Modify the DOS system configuration file CONFIG.SYS to declare the presence of the GPIB handler.
• Create a sub-directory called GPIB-PC, and install in GPIB-PC a number of files and programs useful for
• Modify the DOS system configuration file CONFIG.SYS to declare the presence of the GPIB handler.
• Create a sub-directory called GPIB-PC, and install in GPIB-PC a number of files and programs useful for
testing and reconfiguring the system and for writing user programs.
The following files in the sub-directory GPIB-PC are particularly useful:
IBIC.EXE allows interactive control of the GPIB by means of functions entered at the keyboard. Use of this
program is highly recommended to anyone unfamiliar with GPIB programming or with the X-Stream DSO’s

: In the program examples in this section, it is assumed that the National Instruments (NI)
GPIB driver GPIB.COM is in its default state, i.e., that you have not modified it with IBCONF.EXE.
This means that the interface board can be referred to by the symbolic name ‘GPIB0’ and that devices
on the GPIB bus with addresses between 1 and 16 can be called by the symbolic names ‘DEV1’ to
‘DEV16’. If you have a National Instruments PC2 interface card rather than PC2A, you must run
IBCONF to declare the presence of this card rather than the default PC2A. Later boards from
National Instruments, and boards from other vendors, will require their own software, though NI has
achieved good compatibility with its earlier systems, and older software will often work with newer
boards.
