Message-ID: <89@tekig3.UUCP> Date: Wed, 12-Dec-84 21:44:38 EST Article-I.D.: tekig3.89 Posted: Wed Dec 12 21:44:38 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 15-Dec-84 00:45:38 EST Distribution: net Organization: Tektronix, Beaverton OR Lines: 3 Ignore the impossible for a minute. Has anyone heard of a GPIB programmable instrument that is capable of spitting its serial number out on the GPIB bus? Are there advantages to such a feature other than it would free a scientist from manually noting the serial number of the instrument making a measurement?
