Has anyone created a device driver for the DG101 Programmable Delay Generator?

[Tracy L.]

I am wondering if anyone has written a LabVIEW driver for the DG101 Programmable Delay Generator third party device?

Tracy,

Have you looked at our Instrument Driver Network?  You can browse available drivers from there.  I'm unfamiliar with the manufacturer you specified - how does the DG101 Programmable Delay Generator interface with your computer?

I have looked at the instrument driver network and there is nothing listed there.  The board comes with the source code for the device as well as a gui to run under windows but I am working on the PXI-8196 embedded controller running a RTOS so the .dll that comes with the board is not compatible.   I have been on the phone and email with NI over the last 3-4 weeks trying to figure out how to import the .dll, how to wrap the .dll, and how to create a new .dll.  I spoke with someone yesterday and they told me that I would have to write a register level interface driver to work with the board and that it is very difficult for even the most experienced person.  They suggested I outsource it but I was just curious, seeing that this board belongs to a very small community of programmable delay generators, that someone may have written a driver that is available.

Thanks,

Tracy L.
