HP 6101x and PCIB

Al,

To my understanding, these instruments use what was at one time called the "PC
instrument bus" per some HP literature below:

"IEEE488, the PC instrument bus, April 1990, p309 IEE488 or GPIB bus crosses
every application boundary..."

I'm very familiar with test equipment/gpib/etc. - and one thing that bothers
me about the 6101x gear is that LabView doesen't seem to support it - and
LabView supports just about every GPIB instrument I've ever come accross...

Let's discuss at the DCL if you'll be there tomorrow... Bring a "sample" ;-)
