Can GPIB -USB-HS be controled from Excel without measure?

How can NI-488.2 control non complaint devices from Excel?

I have just installed NI-488.2 and GPIB-USB-HS.

I  can read and write what I want on the buss manually with ibic.exe and NI Spy records both sides of the conversation.

Typing my commands in ibic and entering values into Excel is not fun.

I need to get Excel to control the writes and record the reads.

Is there an easy way to get VBA to talk with NI-448.2

The devices I work with are 448.1 not 448.2 complaint. Most of the nice things LV does errors out.

I feel I need the control to put only the words I want on the buss and read what I want to read.

I see measure is designed to go between NI-448.2 and Excel but I do not want to have to deal with what ever measure is doing other than connecting NI-488.2 to Excel.

 

I have not been able to find any Excel - GPIB support from the Microsoft side. Any examples would be appreciated.

Thanks,

john
