MyRio as an GPIB-WiFi interface

 Hi,

 

Is it possible to implement a FPGA personallity in MyRio to work as a 488 GPIB interface and communicate with an instrument?

 

Something like:

 

Computer Host as GPIB Controller 》--- WiFi link --- 》Ni MyRio 》--- GPIB cable --- 》Instrument 

 

or

 

Computer Host 》--- WiFi link --- 》Ni MyRio  as GPIB Controller 》--- GPIB cable --- 》Instrument

 

 

 

Regards,

Rodrigo.

Hi Rodrigo,

 

We don´t have a FPGA personallity to work with MyRIO as GPIB interface, but you can use a GPIB-Serial converter and read your GPIB device as a serial device in the UART port, but we don´t have any example doing it and will not be simple.

 

So it is not impossible do, but is not simple implement this.

Thank you Abel.

 

But if I need a GPIB-Serial converter, it´s better to use a GPIB-USB or GPIB-Ethernet converter without the MyRIO at all.

 

It would be possible to implement a FPGA personality to work with MyRIO as GPIB interface, maybe using LabView FPGA module. Is there any impediment to implement it?

 

Regards,

Rodrigo.

Don´t have any impediment to implement this using FPGA module, but you need implement the 488.2 protocol on FPGA.
