[Linux-gpib-general] PCIIA problem

[Mitchell F. <mit...@ya...>]

Hello,

I have a National Instruments PCIIa card. When I try
and write a string to a device (HP 3456A Digital
Voltmeter), it freezes my computer. The transaction is
complete, the instrument does what the command asked,
but the computer completely stops responding (can't
switch consoles, no response from the mouse, keyboard,
etc..)
Reading from the same device works just fine.

/etc/gpib.conf:
interface {
 minor = 0
 board_type = pcIIa
 pad = 0
 sad = 0
 timeout = 3s
 eos = 0x0a
 set-reos yes
 set-bin no
 base = 0x02E1
 irq = 7
 dma = 1
 master yes
}

ibtest output:
"
You can (r)ead or (w)rite a string to your device or
(q)uit: w
enter a string to send to your device: F2
sending string: F2


"

Mitchell
