Dave,
I don't remember being your college tutor on this - in fact I never was a
college teacher, but what you've laid out below is pretty much what I taught
all the trainee programmers

Document what you do, in the source comments, line by line

Cheers.

I'd be (happily) surprised if the NI libraries recognized Agilent
devices. I think they only support their own cards though.
There could also be a problem if you have both Agilent and NI support
libraries installed. I ran into this on Linux when I tried to install
the NI-provided drivers

Hello All,
We aren't all made of money so here is the slow but free approach:
Download Visual C# or VB, etc express version from Microsoft for free.

Download visa + driver CD from NI for free.

It may be worth taking a course at the local collage to qualify for the student
license of Labview.
I agree that it is not intuitive to use but some of that may be my past
programing experience. Using Labview is very easy compared to writing your own
drivers.
Hi Stanley:
It turns out the many of the HP Panel Drivers include Labview code along with
the HP VEE code, but they don't talk much about it.
The key problem talking to older equipment with modern (fast) computers is the
timing. Old instruments are much slower than today's computers so you

I have not yet met with success, but I have a little more experience ;)
Since so many people have made helpful suggestions, I thought I'd include

Just downloaded the most recent version of NI-488.2
Despite what all the hype will say, do not expect it to be Easy or
Quick (whatever programming language you use, and I include LabView in
that respect too!) Programming, and doing it well, in any language, for

To clarify, I was not comparing a quick app to read/set a HP 59309A digital
clock with some of the awesome applications produced by the members of this

Additionally, I would not recommend Visual basic for a large application either!
My idea is to encourage everyone to roll

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your response, It is good to see that there are some
solutions. However ~$1,250 for the Base version of LabView is a

You can often find IOtech serial-GPIB converters on eBay for well under
$100.
