Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had device drivers directly for
the Agilent E8257D microwave signal generator?
If drivers do not exist directly then I figure that you can
connect it via GPIB to a LAN/GPIB gateway (Agilent E5810) and that this gateway
has EPICS device drivers that include asynDriver and StreamDevice. My questions,
if this is the route we have to go, is as follows:
-
Does anyone have support written for the 8257D using
the gateway?
-
Would StreamDevice be needed? I want to say no because
the 8257 is not RS-232 but I may be wrong in how I look at the architecture of
everything
Any help from the community is helpful and I want to thank
everyone in advance!
