Implementation of an IBM-PC/AT as a GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) Controller

摘要

This theses integrates an IBM-PC/AT microcomputer with five pieces of standard laboratory test equipment via a GPIB. A menu-driven program prompts the user to operate the test equipment from the keyboard on the PC. The user can perform a wide variety to tasks with this program and the program can be modified to perform other specific tasks desired by the user. Two subroutines were developed to demonstrate the utility of this system and the use of the programming guidelines that were developed. A subroutine to collect waveform data from a digital oscilloscope and to plot the waveform with a plotter and a subroutine to generate a Bode plot of the transfer function for a two port network were developed. Keywords: Instrumentation; GPIB(General Purpose Interface Bus). (Author)
