Has anyone out there had any luck programming the HPIB port on the
back of Series 900/300 machine running Hpux 7.0.  I've been trying for
the last couple of days (doing every thing the manuals tell me to) and
it no go.  I've managed to send HPIB command to devices on the bus but
I cannot read any responses back (like a Digital Multimeter measurement).

Is there a trick the book ain't telling me - or does some one know about an
example piece of code that *can* talk both ways over the HPIB bus ?

Thanks

Richard
