RE: GPIB remote control

Hi Eric,

 

I added the driver source and dbd files to the asyn/vxi-11 directory and changed the Makefile.  It built with no warnings or errors.

 

I have ordered a Prologix unit.  If the driver works with it I will commit to the asyn repository.  I will also add it to the asyn documentation.

If someone can confirm that it builds/works with a modern version of ASYN then I’d be fine with adding it to the distribution.  My last note in the ChangeLog is from 2012 so bitrot is certainly a possibility.

Ah, I understand.  I did not realize you had written a specific driver for the Prologix, but I see the link to it in the asyn documentation.  Should that be added to the standard asyn distribution?
