Hello Ball Head,

I'd like to get some more information about what you're trying to do. I assume by "CCW" you mean COM Callable Wrapper. Are you looking for a way to write an instrument driver in a .NET language and expose it as a COM component? Also, you indicated that you're looking for a solution that is written against GPIB-32.dll. Are you intending to make direct calls to the GPIB-32.dll from inside this instrument driver, or are you trying to find out if NI has a .NET API for GPIB communication? We do in fact provide such and API. It ships with NI-488.2, but is not automatically installed unless you have Measurement Studio. When installing NI-488.2, you can select the ".NET Framework 1.1 Languages Support" feature, which will install the .NET assembly for communicating with GPIB, along with examples and documentation. All of these items are installed to the C:\Program Files\National Instrument\MeasurementStudioVS2003\DotNET\Assemblies\Current directory.

I hope that this helps to get you started. If this does not address your issues sufficiently, please feel free to reply with more details about the nature of the problem you're trying to solve.

Glenn
