Is there any possibilities to work with National Instruments Cards
(Data Acquisition)?
I think maybe ...
They have PCI and USB based solutions, they say to be compatible
with Windows and OS X. I found that you can develop solutions on PC
using Visual Basic but no trace of RealBasic.
Is there anyone using these devices with success?
If they have well documented device drivers you might be able to use
them through declares on either platform. We have NIDAQ and GPIB
cards installed, a few years back I created complied Labview Programs
to control the instruments and do the data acquisition on a PC and
have Labview output the intermediate results to textfiles which I
then read and do additional calculations and produce reports from RB
(I call teh RB App from a LabView menu
I glanced at the VB docs briefly for the drivers a few years backs...
and I ***think*** they could be used from RB ... but the waveform
acquisition and processing from the oscilloscope and other LabView
calculations would have been way too much work to port to RB when i
had LabView available, so I did not take it farther and only use RB
for post-processing data management. (IMO doing "Visual programming"
in LabView is a REAL pain ... it's essentially creating wiring diagrams)
NI have products were you can get much of the the LabView
functionality in C++ Libraries which (if you have the expertise - i
don't) you could probably declare to (or wrap to declare or to an RN
plug-in) but i suspect that would be cost prohibitive
