I wrote an application in TP 3.01 that interfaced a HP HP-150 PC to some test instruments via the IEEE-488 interface that was built into both the HP-150 and the test instruments. We were able to connect four instruments to one PC and run them all simultaneously. The application eliminated a BUNCH of manual calculations which were error prone. It was used to accept or reject tractor trailer loads of filters we were purchasing from another vendor.
