A friend has a 5335A counter and bought a Prologix adaptor for it to collect data. He wrote the software and has had extremely good results. He offered to do the same for me utilizing my NI adaptor so I could use it for my various counters. Unfortunately he ran into problems and feels he needs a special version of basic in order to make my $500 NI adaptor work. I admit to my total lack of programming ability. I still use GWBASIC, and only to crunch heavy numbers. I have no idea how to interface any software to communicate with an instrument, and, maybe am too old to want to learn as it seems a lot of people do it on a regular basis already. If this becomes too difficult I may have to buy a Prologix unit from Abdul. While I am all for doing that, and I bought my NI before Abdul had his version going, I was also under the impression that if the Prologix can do it the NI can do it, but, not necessarily the other way around. My friend mentioned API calls, whatever they are. Any suggestions? Thanks - Mike
