Instrument Control
The Lab VIEW GPIB VIs communicate with IEEE 488 instruments using National Instruments GPIB products, which are capable of transferring data at up to 1.5 MB/s. These products are completely IEEE 488.2 compatible.
The Lab VIEW VXI VIs communicate with VXI instruments using all three methods of controlling VXI systems-embedded computer control, external computer control through GPIB, and external computer control through the high-speed MXIbusLab VIEW currently has more than 450 ready-to-use instrument driver VIs for controlling the most popular GPIB, VXI, and RS-232 instruments from more than 45 different manufacturers. These driver VIs, available at no charge, are ideal for controlling remote and modular instruments. They contain intuitive front panel interfaces, eliminate low-level programming, and provide high-level VIs you can use in integrated test systems. Because the VIs come with their block diagrams, you can examine and modify these drivers or use them as models to create new ones for other instruments. The following sections list a few examples of the instruments for which VIs are available. Partial List of GPIB Instrument Driver VIs:
