Hello Time-nuts,
This could be opening up a can of worms - but here goes.
I need some help/direction with programming my 5370B over GPIB. I have NI
GPIB-ENET/100 and have install NI's Measurement and Automation software.
All is good, the software sees the instrument and I can issue commands and
get responses back. So far so good.
Now the tricky part. I would like to write a program that collects TI
values to feed to TVB's ADEV program. First I should ask - is there one out
there that someone is willing to share? Being that I'm pretty ancient in
the programming world and have not caught up with VB or C. So, I have been
trying to write a BASIC program and use direct access to the gpib-32.dll.
It has been very frustrating! I can seem to get the global addresses of the
ibxxx functions, but no luck on getting error and status information back
(iberr, ibsta).
For example:
SYS "LoadLibrary", "GPIB-32.DLL" TO gpib%
SYS "GetProcessAddress", gpib%, "ibdev" TO ibdev%
seems to return an address for the ibdev function.
But,
SYS "LoadLibrary", "GPIB-32.DLL" TO gpib%
SYS "GetProcessAddress", gpib%, "iberr" TO iberr%
does not seem to return the address of the iberr global variable.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
