Labview originally was written for the Apple in '86, but judging from my contacts with them, they don't seem to have many people left that know much about Apples. I have several expensive NI data-acq boards that are sitting idle because I could not get them to work on an Apple, not even within their Labview version for OSX, let alone within RB. The Labview documentation was all PC oriented, and most of the slick new features they had added were not implemented on the Apple version. They did try and provide the low-level documentation I would need to program the boards directly from RB, but I did not have the time to figure it all out. This was with their version 7, and they kept promising improvements, but I gave up and got a Keithley 2701 multi-channel voltmeter with an Ethernet interface, which has been wonderful, and is easy to program. The same source code works on either Apples or PC's w/o modification, and since the instrument is a node on our network, I can access it from any computer on the network. Like Karen, I found it much harder to get simple things accomplished using visual programming in Labview, than with a full language like RB.

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? Thanking you in anticipation. -- Best regards, Youri _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html> _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
