Hi Orin, No, it's not a matter of just talking to the device. I can to that. The problem happens when you want more than one program/process to access the GPIB bus at the same time; e.g. running two different tests. For that you have to have a server process which manages the interface and relays packets to the clients. Prologix hadn't written one when they commented here last summer.
