Figure 5-6. Testing the RS-232 UUT Port via IEEE-488 Port
Complete the following procedure to test RS-232 UUT port operation via the IEEE-488
port using the Win32 Interactive Control utility.
1. Complete the “IEEE-488 Port Setup Procedure” earlier in this chapter to set up the
Calibrator for GPIB operation.
2. Complete “Testing the IEEE-488 Port” to prepare the Calibrator IEEE-488 port for
testing. Before the final step, return to this procedure and continue to Step 3 below.
3. Go to Start then to the Programs menu.
4. Select "NI-488.2M software for... (your operating system)".
5. From the NI488.2M software menu, select "Win32 interactive control".
6. A DOS window opens with a prompt as shown here:
7. At the prompt, type the following line to activate the IEEE interface card:
<ibdev 0 4 0 10 1 0>
8. The second number in this line is the primary address of the calibrator. If the address
has been changed from the factory default, change this line accordingly.
