Using LabView 5.x with HP-IB Interface HP 82340

[Alan ©timac]

As you can see from the title, I have a serious problem. At my company,
for a long time the whole measurement equipment was purchased from HP.
Of course, the HP-IB interfaces and HP VEE software was included. My
humble opinion is that LabView offers much more than the HP VEE, so
I try to use existing HP GPIB board with Lab View. But that combination
give me so much bad experiences. The LabView doesn't recognise the card.
The card has only four switches for changing I/O Base Address (and
accordingly
I/O Address Range Used). The possibilty of software changing IRQ lines
is included in HP software, but LabView does not recognize any changes.
I would appreciate any help. I'm looking forward to any suggestions.
P
lease send me yours suggestions also to the E-mail (option CC:
alan.stimac@zg.tel.hr ; alan@brod.hrbi.hr )

Thak you in advance,

Alan

Try using the HP-VISA driver and the VISA funktions from LabView, GPIB
funktions will not work with HP-GPIB-cards.
