LabVIEW is basically set up to detect and communicate with National
Instruments GPIB interfaces, it does this with no problem. However, there
are ways to use other boards with Labview. If the company that made the
board has a compatable VISA driver, then LV will be able to see the board.
Another way is to write a Code Interface Node (CIN) that calls the driver of
the board with C code in this way LV can exchange data with the other
driver. National Instruments will allow you to trade in your GPIB cards for
one of theirs for a significant discount and this will guarantee that
everything will work in Labview.
