Verify the IEEE-488 Port
The subsequent procedure verifies IEEE-488 communications between the PC and the
Calibrator with the Win32 Interactive Control utility. This utility is supplied with
National Instruments interface cards for the PC, which are the recommended interfaces.
(See Chapter 8, “Accessories.”) A typical connection is shown in Figure 5-3.

Complete the subsequent procedure to verify IEEE-488 operation with Win32 Interactive
Control.
1. Complete the “IEEE-488 Port Setup Procedure” in this chapter to set up the
Calibrator for GPIB operation. Note the GPIB Address Port (default is 4).
2. Connect the PC and Calibrator IEEE-488 ports with a standard IEEE-488 cable. (See
Chapter 8, “Accessories,” for IEEE-488 cables available from Fluke Calibration.)
3. From the programs menu, select "NI-488.2M software for...(your operating system)".
4. From the NI488.2M software menu, select "Win32 interactive control".
5. A DOS window opens with a prompt as shown here:
