How can you interface IEEE 488 bus with labview

[malkoba]

Hi

How should I proceed to interface labview with an instrument (an impedence analyser with a IEEE 488 port) and labview through a IEEE 488 interface card in the PC.

Thanks

Hi,

You hava a group of functions to do that. Go to Instrument IO --- GPIB.
There you can find the tools you need to comunicate with an instrument via GPIB.
You can also use MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) to test your comunication before implementing it in LabVIEW.

Hope this gets you started,
Paulo

You should first try to find a driver for the instrument here. New instrument drivers and the Instrument I/O Assistant all use VISA instead of the traditional GPIB functions, so make sure you have that installed.
