gpib driver for IDL

[Bolex]

Are there any gpib drivers for IDL?

[Aaron O]

Can you give a more detailed explaination of what IDL is and what it is your trying to do?

Additionally, check out https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/instrument-drivers.html for a 9000+ list of drivers supported by NI products.

IDL (Interactive Data Language) is programming environment, like, e.g., VC++ .

There is not a driver that is already built for communicating over GPIB with LabVIEW and IDL.  

It is possible to use IDL with .NET C# and integrate your C# code with LabVIEW.  I would recommend looking into the IDL documentation online to see what they support.  LabVIEW does not directly support IDL.

For me to be of further help, you'll need to provide a detailed explanation of the application, software, and hardware you are trying to use.

Thanks for the reply.

It looks like I have to do this. I just want to make sure before committing (or not committing) my time.

Yes, there are ways how to send commands from IDL, e.g., by using a call_external function.

I thought that NI should have done this already. It is disappointing... But anyway thanks again.
