gpib-usb prologix new aproach

[Crushyna]

Hi i have question concerning using standard LabView drivers with gpib-usb prologix controler. I red all the other topics conserning that so don't remind me about them. Im just wandering, if this controler gives me only single serial port which "translates" to gpib can i use standard rs232 driver form my device(lockin amplifier) plus LV vi for controler?

The device should be exposed as a COM port.  Use VISA rather than the Serial port functions because it makes it easier to update th system in the future.  And Look through the Instrument Driver Network to see if someone else has already written the instrument driver for your device

simple answer: you are out of luck, the driver is for a standard gpib board or gpib-usb interface not for one with a serial interface to the gpib interface.

So if i have this prologix gpib-usb controller there is realy no way (like it was posted in other threads) to make it work with gpib drivers to my device?

As already mentioned, you need to replace all GPIB functions with VISA functions.
