PC-PC communication using GPIB

[bach]

Hello,

I have problems to realise communication between two PCs using GPIB interface. Each PC has GPIB controllers. Controllers are detected properly by MAX.

My question is how I can realise the data transfer in both directions using LabView?

Thank you for any help and suggestions.

Regards,

Bach

Hello bach,

you can use one GPIB controller as an System Controller master and the other as an slave (picture).

Then you can programm an communication between the to systems. If you sent a message

the other side should receive it. Now you can programm your own protocoll using VISA or

the instrument I/O assistant.

a simple example for doing this http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/540

you can find more in LabVIEW or on www.ni.com
