Your kit includes the NI-488.2 software for Mac OS. In addition, you can
order LabVIEW from National Instruments. LabVIEW includes
instrument driver libraries that make it easier to communicate with your
GPIB instruments.
LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment you can use to acquire
data from thousands of different instruments, including IEEE 488.2
devices, VXI devices, serial devices, PLCs, and plug-in data acquisition
boards. After you acquire raw data, you can convert it into meaningful
results using the data analysis routines in LabVIEW. The LabVIEW
instrument drivers reduce software development time because you do
not have to program the low-level control of each instrument.
If you already have LabVIEW and want to use it with your
GPIB-ENET/100, refer to your product documentation for information
about GPIB I/O functions. For ordering information, contact National
Instruments.
