82357B can be used from Linux using the linux-gpib driver. This section will explain how to install the driver
and use it from python and other languages.

=== Installation ===
==== What you need ====
Linux kernel source (2.6.8 or above)
python, python-dev
fxload (from linux-hotplug project)
lsusb (usbutils package)

Depending on your distribution, you may have to mount usbfs to /proc/bus/usb.
(In Fedora, it is automatically mounted)
If needed, you may want to add the following line to /etc/fstab
{{{ usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 }}}

GPIB issues

This page will cover GPIB issues in the 40m lab. Test equipment with a GPIB interface (such as the SR785) may be scripted from a computer.
