Programs for the Kenwood DAB -3801

[huy]

Hi,

I'm trying to work with a GPIB-USB-B board and the Kenwood DAB-3801 OFDM Signal Generator (Digital Audio Broadcast).

In particular, I am trying to program the GPIB interface to send FIC and PAD data to the Kenwood. Included with the Kenwood were 2 .exe files that did this. However, they do not work with the current setup.

I am assuming that since the files were from '96, they did not have USB-B support. In looking at the source code of these two files, I see that they use the header file #include , rather than the newer header. Does the new header have support for the USB-B interface? Are these two files backward compatible?

Any help in getting this resolved is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Hi Huy,

I am not sure about the decl.h file, but I can tell you that if your application was written using the ni-488 or visa drivers, it should still work just fine with either minimal or no modification. The API has been the same for many years, only the underlying architecture has had major revision.

I can also tell you that there is no special header for the USB interface so that should help out!
