I want to read data via a GPIB card

[Chenhy99]

Dear Sir,
Who has the experience about how to read the data via a non-NI supported GPIB card? I have an AX5488 GPIB card (NEC7210 chip), however, this card has no LABVIEW driver for V.6.0i. But the manual showed the BASIC and C code examples for reading data via it. So I think is there any way to do as well as the BASIC or C code process. On the other hands, the interface card and NEC7210 chip occupy at &HF000 and &H62E1, respectively.
Can I use “IN PORT” or “OUT PORT” in LABVIEW? If so please tell me how to do, if not please tell me has there any best way to do it? Or ….

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

If the driver functions for your interface are available from a dll, you can use LabVIEW's "Library Function Call Node" VI. This VI allows you to call external C functions in dlls.

Using this VI you can wrap around the dll C functions and use the VIs in your labview code.

Dear DiegoF,
I have found its DLL file, and then I put them on my program. Now, they work properly.
Thank you.
