Hi chucky,
The term that NI-VISA uses for an interrupt is 'event'. Since the driver supports many different buses, an interrupt isn't the only asynchronous service request that an instrument can make. Thus, NI-VISA calls these service requests 'events'.
You'll most likely want to use the function pair
viEnableEvent() /
viDisableEvent() in your program. The VISA Help has more explanation about how to use these functions and even includes a simple C example. In particular, you'll want to read the sections titled
"Example of Handling Events" and
"VISA Events". If you have further questions about programming with NI-VISA, you'll get a wider audience in the driver's corresponding forum:
