 Is it possible to run a device (a ni_pci in particular) in "listen only" m=
ode? Instead of being a controller, I'd like it to be a listen only device,=
 so I can emulate a plotter
My idea is to just grab all of the HPGL commands a device sends and then co=
nvert into PDF.=C2=A0
This has already been discussed 2 decades ago:=C2=A0https://sourceforge.net=

92.168.1.1%5D/#msg2697429 but the solution is specific to a particular devi=
ce.
The NI=C2=A0 forums mention:
#define IbcLON 0x0022 /*Enter listen only mode*/=C2=A0
but it doesn't seem like linux-gpib implements this?
