If you know enough about SCSI, our company provides (sells) a SCSI
toolkit for LabVIEW but you will need to understand the SCSI conventions
and have a detailed knowledge of the SCSI command block structures that
the device uses to communicate. SCSI at any stage is not for the
fainthearted. For specific hardware this will
mean obtaining the command
block structure directly from the provider.
Out of interest I am not aware of the PowerLab AxD. Is this an AD
Instruments PowerLab or some other manufacturer with a coincidental name.
BTW we also have a LabVIEW driver for the PowerLab E Series and we are
located around the corner in Vic Park, Perth.
