VB network code for ENET-GPIB

[astroron]

Need a small VB program to send commands to a ENET-GPIB converter to control GPIB devices interactively. Just need the network setup structure to send commands in 488.2 format to another GPIB device.

Hi,

You don't need to send any network commands to the GPIB-ENET box. you use the NI-488.2 driver to communicate to the ENET box. The driver handles all the network communication details. Once the interface is configured and appears on the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), you use the standard GPIB functions.

Once you install the driver, you can find Visual Basic examples under the National Instruments/NI-488.2/Language directory.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Diego. After I read through a sample pgm from NI, I realized the ENET box is just like a GPIB controller talking to another device on the bus. It was too simple, as it should be..
