RE: HP-IL protocol questions
(12-27-2019 05:50 PM)J-F Garnier Wrote: A more complete list is detailed in appendix C.4 of the HP-IL specification (available on MoHPC DVD/USB-key), including the "Analytic Instrument" class (112-127) and the definition of the subclasses. Thanks for that. I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right document, I see "Accessory ID and Status Message Definitions" in appendix D of the "HP-IL Reference Specification."

It was a true design flaw in my opinion. Yuck! Given that the 41's and 71's HP-IL modules include functions designed to work on both AID and ID you'd think HP would make devices that actually fit in with this!

That makes sense and it's what I actually implemented while hoping to get an answer here. (12-27-2019 05:50 PM)J-F Garnier Wrote: But some HP devices (the HP-82166 and the HP82164 interfaces) can just hold the SDA until they get something to send from the interface side. Of course, this locks the loop, potentially forever if no data is received from the interface side. Now, that is is just nasty! There are only 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
