GPRM(1)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 GPRM(1)



NAME
     gprm - remove GPIB instrument

SYNOPSIS
     gprm device

DESCRIPTION
     Gprm removes the specified GPIB device(s) from the
     configuration.  If device is an interface (gpibn), any
     attached instruments are removed first.

     If you physically remove a device from the bus by
     disconnecting its GPIB cable and and fail to use GPRM, the
     workstation thinks the device is still on the bus.  When the
     workstation then goes out to service an SRQ, it will poll
     all the instruments it thinks are there, and that will hang
     the program because the workstation can't read a status byte
     from the device that has been removed.

EXAMPLES
     Remove the device ``fg5010'' from the configuration.


          $ gprm fg5010
          fg5010 removed
