Abstract

This package has been developed for communicating with devices on the GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus - IEEE Std. 488). Programs and subroutines which call the routines in this package communicate with devices on the GPIB via a GPIB controller residing in a CAMAC crate. CAMAC access is done in 16-bit transfers. The target hardware is a DEC VAX 730 which communicates with a byte-serial CAMAC loop through a Jorway Model 411 PDP-11 CAMAC Interface. CAMAC in turn, communicates with the GPIB through a Kinetic Systems Model 3388-G1A GPIB Interface. Although this is the hardware that is used at our installation, the software is designed to be used on other systems with a minimum of modifications.
