does anyone have modified GPIB library for ESP300 written in LabVIEW 7.0?
Thanks

Hey Jean,
The link to your program appears to be broken. Can you fix it?
Thanks,

That link worked fine for me. Try again. If you still have problems, then tell us in more detail what you think is broken about it.

I have written my own library based on VISA to communicate with the ESP-300. I had intially a lot of timeout errors with it until I got a technician from Newport to actually come by and help debug this. Turned out we had to disable auto serial poll in the settings for the GPIB controller in MAX to make it work with VISA.
Still I'm not impressed with that controller as it has many strange things going on.

I am actually looking for the LabVIEW 7.1 Interface that Jean prepared but could not upload it on the thread because of its size. Thanks.

I am basically facing a problem to interface 2 stages x and y with the ESP motion controller. Right now, I start with a position array that has x and y values and tell stage to go to those points. It does well for first 200-300 points, sometimes even 400 points but then just stops. Using NI-SPY I realized that the code stops giving the next point and keeps giving the same position x and y co-ordinates where it has stopped. Probably, I am having too much overheads on the poor GPIB as I am reading and writing on x and y stage simultaneously. I do not know!
Also, I was wondering if the solution is to use group commands. I have been trying to use them in a separate program but I am not able to move one stage when I use both in group. One stage works well, other one just does not move and gives out communication time out error.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jean,
I am confident that your llb will solve my problems and make my life a lot easier . I tried to follow your link however, but it says that the page doesn't exist... Can you update the link?
Thank you very much!
