GPIB in LabVIEW

[Mario95]

Hello,

I am using GPIB in LabVIEW and I like to configure as slave, can I do in labview this?, How can I do it?

Thanks,

I'm not sure what you are really asking, but LabVIEW has support for IEEE 488.2 through its Drivers, and if you've installed LabVIEW and the 488.2 Drivers, you should be able to see them in MAX.  Now all you need is some way to connect the 488 cable to your PC (there are USB to GPIB converters, I think) and knowledge of the Command Set of your Instrument, a little knowledge/experience with LabVIEW, some "practice" talking to your device with MAX to be sure you understand the protocol, and you are Ready to Go.

If you want to change the card from a system controller (master) to use it like an instrument (slave), there used to be setting in MAX to disable interface as system controller.

Hello,

I'm designing an instrumentation device and I need my program to be slave to communicate with a USB to GPIB card.

How do I set up LabVIEW or NI-MAX for the GPIB to be a slave?

The program I'm designing will always be receiving commands from a PC.

Thanks you,

Mario
