can i connect to an instrument through gpib on another computer?

[kdinardi]

I have a timer program that I wrote on one computer and is connected to the timer instrument through GPIB.  Is there anyway I can run this program from any other computer on my network?  I keep getting an error stating that NationalInstruments.VISA is not found on my computer.  I assume this is because I only  have measument studio on a few computers.  Any ideas on how to accomplish this task?

Hi Kdinardi,

Do you have NI-VISA installed on your computer?

What version of LabVIEW do you have?

Do you have LabVIEW application builder?

NI VISA is installed, but we do not use labview here, I figured my best bet is to use html to house the application, now i am just looking for examples of how to recode the vb program i have into html. any help is appreciated.  thanks!

I would imagine that you want to use html to link to your existing application.

Another option could be VI Server. In MAX on the pc with the instrument, you can make the VISA resource shared across the network. An application on a client pc could make reference to that shared resource and call it. You would need VISA installed on the client pc's.
