HP Basic only ran on HP computers; a variant ran on the old BTI

The requirement is that the language has the capability of either
hardware I/O or calling an external (compiled) machine language
interface; the majority of them can do both.
For BASIC variants, one can use either the interpreted or the
compiled program; for REXX, it is always interpreted; 16 bit code
FORTRAN can do direct I/O and maybe the same could be said for COBOL; 32
bit code will have to call an external routine.
See if you can get a copy of the program set that came with the old
GPIB cards (late? 1980s to mid? 1990s).
That set included source and binaries for full support of any GPIB
instrument that you could get the programming instructions for.
Languages were BASIC, Pascal, Assembly, maybe C, and i do not
remember what others.
Careful look at them will show both approaches (direct I/O or routine
calls) for most of the languages.

National Instrument's must have one as they have been around for

OK, it's in german. But simply search for 'GPIB' on that page and
you will find a .zip with lots of information.
I think, you will be able to 'read' it without specific german
language knowledge. (It's 'programmers speak')
