That would depend on the GPIB interface board and driver support.
If your test equipment supports a RS-232 like protocol, then you may be able to use one of the serial libraries. I know our Yokogawa equipment supports this.
Hi,
We use a Prologix GPIB-to-USB convertor. You can access it as a serial port using e.g. QExtSerialPort.
Unfortunately then you will have to implement all the GPIB commands yourself, and for a lot of equipment there is no documentation available. They just provide labview or VXI drivers.
If you find something, please post a note here. I'm very interested to hear what you've found.
Best regards,
Marc
Thank you for the advice :) I was just looking for a software that I can run remotely. This saves a lot of time. I'm currently using Prologix GPIB-to-USB convertor. If I will have updates on the usage of this SW I will update you. Great to have place to chat and consult about these programs.
