GPIB-ENET/100 for Windows Me/98/95
• Measurement Studio Tools for Visual C++ takes advantage of COM
and ActiveX technologies to help you build measurement and
automation applications. With the Visual C++ application wizard and
instrument classes, you can use the IEEE 488.2 library to send and
receive commands to and from instruments, and you can use VISA,
an industry-standard I/O library, to communicate with GPIB, VXI,
or serial devices using the same set of components.
• For Visual Basic programmers, Measurement Studio includes a
collection of ActiveX controls designed for building virtual
instrumentation systems. You can use the GPIB, serial, and VISA I/O
controls and property pages to configure communication with your
instruments.
GPIB Analyzer is an optional tool available from National Instruments that
is useful in troubleshooting a variety of IEEE 488 hardware and software
problems. With its built-in time-stamping capability, you easily can
determine the throughput and overhead of your GPIB systems. The GPIB
Analyzer software for Windows Me/98/95 works with the AT-GPIB/TNT+
and PCMCIA-GPIB+ products, which provide GPIB Analyzer support
along with the functionality of a high-performance GPIB Controller.
