How to interface PCI-8433 to Visual Basic 6.0

We have an existing Visual Basic 6.0 application that uses the com port to talk to a serial device. The serial device is being upgraded to a high speed serial device (1.2 Mbps) and we're looking at the PCI-8433 as a possible solution. How do we interface that to the Visual Basic 6.0 Program.

Hi Jonsai,

 

If you want to integrate your serial device into your  existing application, there is a Visual Basic 6.0 VISA API that is identical to the C VISA API.  You can use the C examples to show how to create a program in Visual Basic 6.0.  There are also a few Visual Basic 6.0 examples in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\NI-VISA\Examples folder.
