I am working on Double frequency interferometer. I am using Zygo mesurement board 2401.
The VME chassis I am using for this experiment is not from Zygo.
They use NI VME-Mxi-2 for PCi board kit for hardware and software interface.
So how I can interface the zygo measurement board 2401 with NI VME-MXI-2 for PCI kit and see the output in lab view.
I would appreciate if any one can help me in this regards.

Hello Undy,
The NI VME-MXI-2 merely creates a communication link between the host computer and the VME system. Communication to VME systems can be done with NI-VISA or a hardware driver that was created by the manufacture. If you decide to use NI-VISA for communication, you will need documentation on the command set for the Zygo 2401 board.
