DOING THE SETUP TO GET TRACES OFF MEASUREMENT DEVICES

Get the plot that needs to be transferred ready on the screen of the oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer.

The setup requires the following steps to be taken:

Hardware setup

The SCSI/IEEE488 interface is already connected to "jormungandr" workstation. Connect, with the appropriate cable, the back of the interface to the HP-IB port of the rear panel of the device of interest.

Turn the SCSI interface power on.

Software setup

Copy the appropriare file from ~safi/iotech into your own home directory. For example, if the spectrum analyzer HP8595 is the device of interest, then the file that needs to be copied will be HP8595.

Rlogin to "jormungandr".

Type, at the unix prompt, the filename that corresponds to the scope of interest without the extension.

For example, if the plot to be transferred is on the Tektronix 820 scope, and the C code is called TEK820.c , type TEK820 at the prompt and a file named TEK820_plot.eps will be generated in your home directory.

If a new Code was edited and needs to be compiled, refer to Understanding Commands For Writing Your Own C Codes and scroll down to the "COMPILING" section and follow the steps described.

NOTE:
"Cannot initialize IEEE system" : If you get this error, then either the SCSI interface is not powered on , or you are not on "jormungandr" workstation.
