Table 1-182350 GPIB interface card configuration parameters

VISA	Symbolic name that VISA uses to uniquely identify this GPIB
Interface ID	interface. The default VISA interface ID is GPIB0. The 82350
	interface ID for VISA must begin with the string GPIB and
	have an integer appended to it, such as GPIB0, GPIB1,
	GPIB2, etc. Remember this value to properly address GPIB
	devices in your VISA applications.
GPIB	Address of this GPIB interface controller on the GPIB bus. It
Address	is usually 21 if the GPIB interface is a System Controller or
	20 if the GPIB interface is a non-System Controller (see
	System Controller, following). These addresses are chosen
	by convention but any address in the range 0 - 30, inclusive,
	may be used.
System	Determines if this interface controls which bus devices talk
Controller	and which bus devices listen. If several devices exist on a
	bus, be sure each has a unique GPIB bus address and only
	one device is the System Controller. Each GPIB interface has
	its own independent bus. Thus, each interface may be a
	System Controller as long as it is not chained together with
	other GPIB interfaces. However, two or more System
	Controllers on the same bus will cause the bus to be
	inoperative.
SICL	Symbolic name that SICL uses to uniquely identify this GPIB
Interface ID	interface. The default Interface ID is gpib0. The SICL
	interface ID must be a unique string of alphanumeric
	characters, starting with a letter. Remember this value and
	the logical unit number to properly address GPIB devices in
	your SICL applications.
Logical Unit	Number that SICL uses to uniquely identify this 82350
	interface. The logical unit number is an integer in the range
	of 0 - 10000. Remember this value and the SICL interface ID
	to properly address the GPIB interface in your SICL
	applications.
