Drivers in GPIB
Systems with BASIC
The device driver download program VXIDLD_GET provided on the disk with
the driver files for use with GPIB must be run from an BASIC other than
IBASIC. It will set up the the required device driver memory and any other
memory partitions defined in the configuration file, reboot the system, and
download the device driver. If there are device drivers present, or you already
have memory allocated for NRAM (User Non-volatile RAM) or RDISK (RAM
Disk), a warning will be issued and the downloading process aborted. You must
first clear any existing drivers from the system, and then download all of the
required drivers together. You may redefine any NRAM or RDISK areas after
downloading the device drivers.
1. Make sure that your Command Module (E1405) is not set to System
Controller mode.
2. Put the floppy disk into an appropriate drive.
3. Make sure that the floppy disk is your current drive (for example, type
’MSI ":,700,1"’ and press ENTER).
4. Load the device download program into BASIC (type ’GET
"VXIDLD_GET"’ and press ENTER) and run the program (type "RUN"
and press ENTER).
5. The download program will check to make sure that there are no device
drivers already loaded, and no memory has been allocated for NRAM or
RDISK. If not, it will create the required RAM partitions, reboot the
system, and download the device driver on the supplied disk.
Any errors encountered while downloading will be reported and will
cause the program to abort.
6. The download program will check to make sure that the device driver was
successfully downloaded.
