The Satellite Communications Laboratory at the Naval Postgraduate
School uses a PDP-11 /34A minicomputer to develop software in support of
a satellite signal monitoring system. The General Purpose Interface Bus
(GPIB) interconnects several general measurement devices used in support
of the laboratory. The laboratory uses these measurement devices for
diagnostic and simulation tests related to research in the satellite
signal monitoring field. This thesis discusses the development of the
hardware and software interface between the PDP-11/34A Unibus and the
GPIB. The interface permits high level language programs under the
control of the Unix operating system (version t>) en tie PDP-11 /34A to
access any device on the GPIB.
