NAME

       ibpad - set primary GPIB address (board or device)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gpib/ib.h>

       int ibpad(int ud, int pad);

DESCRIPTION

       ibpad() sets the GPIB primary address to pad for the device or board specified by the descriptor ud. If
       ud is a device descriptor, then the setting is local to the descriptor (it does not affect the behaviour
       of calls using other descriptors, even if they refer to the same physical device). If ud is a board
       descriptor, then the board's primary address is changed immediately, which is a global change affecting
       anything (even other processes) using the board. Valid GPIB primary addresses are in the range from 0 to
       30.

RETURN VALUE

       The value of ibsta is returned.
