user-defined 1394 (non-camera) supported?

[hobbyist]

Hello,

I'm absolutely new to LabView, but have experience with 1394.

I'd like to know if it is possible to set up 1394 communictations to a user-defined IEEE1394 device.

I want to connect a device that

- has a specific protocol defined (similar to digital cameras) in it's configuration ROM. I have a registered vendor ID that I can use.

- has a set of registers, such as adjusting sample rate

- send some measurement data as an isochronous data stream

 Does LabView allow something like that and what do I need for this, especially, do I need a Windows class driver for my 1394 device?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi!

You should implement a VISA Driver to communicate with you FireWire Device.

Here an explanation (for USB):

After that you can use the VISA Blocks in LabVIEW.

Thanks for this info.

I'll check with my LabView Demo. Hopefully VISA is included and hopefully there is also some kind of 'raw' mode.

best regards
