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

Hello John,
Here is the Link [broken link removed] which explains on how you can call GPIB functions in Excel.
Good Luck
