Overview
This is a very simple GPIB example functions very similar to the ones that are shipped with LabVIEW, but a little more robust.
Description
Demonstrates GPIB Read and GPIB Write commands to a device from a VI. This will require the GPIB address to be initialized and connected to your machine. It allows the user to configure if they want to write, read or write then read from the GPIB bus. As opposed to the shipped LabVIEW example, this will make use of lower level IEEE calls to create a more robust environment. It also uses both the My Talk Address (MTA) and My Listen Address (MLA) of the Controller and Device IEEE addresses.
Requirements
Software
LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
NI-VISA
Hardware
GPIB connected Hardware
Instructions
1.Enter GPIB Controller Address and Device IEEE Address
2.Select whether you are reading, writing or both.
3.If needed, update the bytes to Read
4.Set the data string to send.
5.Run the VI.
