/*
The following application program
is
written in
C
for the
IBM
PC-AT. The National Instnunen
Model AT-GPIB board provides the interface between the PC and the Fluke 884OA
DMM.
T):
prom assumes that the configuration program IBCONF
has
been
run
to initialize the interfae
board with the device name IWA assigned to the GPIBO board.
This
program illustrates one possible use of the
serial
poll register. In this
case
it
is
merely looking for data available. The function qf the program
is
to
display on the screen the lowest resistance value measured on the input tertninals
of the
8840A
using the 2-wire ohms function in autorange, The range
and
function
commands are programmed using the
Put
Instrument ~odguration
(PO)
command.
