After compiling these programs, you must link the object code with the appropriate NI language interface to create your stand-alone executable program. Three Key Differentiators When purchasing a GPIB controller for your instrument control system, please remember that in three key areas National Instruments GPIB Controllers offer benefits that can help save you time and money throughout the life of your system, from development through production and maintenance. This is a significant advantage. Even a small incremental advantage that results from these benefits can, over time, result in very large savings in both time and money. In addition, you can analyze bus timing issues in much more detail. This application note has reviewed the features of the NI Driver Localization — NI

No other GPIB supplier provides similar functionality. This capability is important for instruments that deal with large arrays of data, such as digitizers and spectrum analyzers. Some of the things that help ensure this are:.

For example, does the board perform as well using small data blocks and large data blocks? Ensuring that you can get timely and accurate answers to your questions is essential to guaranteeing that your projects run smoothly and on time. We have great expertise in making these products and a long track record in supporting older interfaces and providing communicstor same compatible API for those commhnicator years.

Table 4 illustrates this point. Manufacturing Effectiveness - It is important for your GPIB vendor to have a reliable manufacturing process that results in a high-quality product.

These factors can be combined into two areas: You can use it to learn the NI functions and routines, learn the device-specific messages of an instrument, debug an application program one step at a time, or locate a malfunctioning device on the GPIB. This feature is extremely useful for application debugging.

Low-level commands are also available for maximum flexibility and performance.

By successfully communicating with your GPIB instrument using the Interactive Control utility, you can quickly confirm that your hardware is fully capable of integration with your programming environment. Because these driver developers do not know the internal architecture and intricacies of the In-488.2 driver, they are not able to optimize the performance of their driver.

The GPIB standard requires the controller to be capable of performing a serial poll, where it polls every device on the GPIB bus and determines which device has requested service. It also describes several utility programs that you can use to shorten development time. You can easily port an application from one platform to another without having to rewrite software.

In addition, even at transfer block sizes of less than B, the board still performs very well. Interactive Control or ibic is available for more advanced, yet very quick, interactive communication with your GPIB instruments.

Following are some of the specific features that contribute to coommunicator stability: Availability of Products - Not only does NI provide GPIB controllers for the widest variety of buses, those products continue to be available for many years after the bus is no longer popular. Software Reliability Having reliable software ensures minimal downtime as well as a wider variety of systems on which to develop and deploy GPIB applications.

The faster the transfer, the more data can be transferred over a shorter period of time. National Instruments chose a subroutine structure for the NI The mark LabWindows is used under a license from Microsoft Corporation. You can use the NI A subroutine-structured driver gets its name because these subroutines are called as routines or functions from the programming language in which the application program was written.

After compiling these programs, you must link the object code with the appropriate NI language interface to create your stand-alone executable program. Learn more about our privacy policy. This is an interactive utility that allows you to write commands to your instrument and read responses back from your instrument.

This process of including a declaration file and linking files to the compiled program is familiar to compiled language users. For example, over a hour shift, with a 20 s test time per device, a 5 to 30 percent performance improvement translates to to additional devices tested.

It is also important to look at how fast a GPIB board can transfer data under differing transfer sizes. Learn more about our privacy policy. This language interface is specific to a particular programming language.

High-level functions access a specific device and take care of the addressing and bus management protocol for that device.
