| === 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 }}} ===== Installing linux-gpib driver ===== Download the latest version from http://linux-gpib.sourceforge.net/ Expand the archive and execute the followings {{{ ./configure --enable-python-binding --with-linux-srcdir=/lib/modules/2.6.24-19/build }}} where 2.6.24-19 should be replaced by your kernel version. |
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.

Using Agilent 82357B USB-GPIB interface from Linux
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
Installing linux-gpib driver
Download the latest version from http://linux-gpib.sourceforge.net/
Expand the archive and execute the followings
./configure --enable-python-binding --with-linux-srcdir=/lib/modules/2.6.24-19/build
where 2.6.24-19 should be replaced by your kernel version.
Alternative way (GPIB scripting in Python)
