There were a number of posts on this list over the last
year on the topic of the Tek 4041 GPIB controller.

Ive got one of these suckers now, plus a number of Tek plugins with GPIB
interfaces, and Im interested in making them all play together.

I havent got a keyboard, and I recall some posts from Joe Rigdon? saying
keyboards
are very hard to find. In the meantime, Ive figured out the keyboard
electrical interface characteristics and made a rs232-keyboard converter. So
I can talk to it now, and give it little BASIC commands, and see the results
on the LED display

Ive figured out much of the BASIC dialect it speaks, but I cant yet figure
out how to open the printer, serial port or tape for IO, nor have I got the
docs yet. Can anyone shed some light on the exact syntax for the BASIC open
call used by the 4041 and the
get() function for reading GPIB devices?

Cheers.
