Hi JLS,
This subject is way "cool", there's currently a thread related to registering for "Dynamic" events (in an Event Structure.) Does what you've said, related to the NI-VISA API, mean that one could build an "Event Structure" with cases fired by NI-VISA events? Are there any "driver" VIs already available that wrap a CallLibFunc bound to said API? How does one locate the right DLLs, need be? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. (Dunno how to message privately.)
Cheers!

Hi tst,
I don't know why I never looked at these VISA events - Nice! - but I wonder - is this what you meant by "VISA API", JLS? If so, can Catalin use them - it sounds like he may _have_to_ assemble messages (TCP packets?) on the C side, and then get them into LabVIEW efficiently.
... and still, it would be "slick" to register/handle [VISA] IO events, with the Event Structure directly...
cheers

Yes, I was considering the VISA events part of the VISA API.
Darn, was hoping you meant some [other] API provided through, say, some DLL(s) (... like GlobMgr.dll)
Further, one could call by reference a VI that itself would have the call library function node in it - this way you can instruct LabVIEW even to load the dll into memory at the time of your choosing
Hmm, why this call-by-reference as opposed to putting VI w/CLF in VISA event-handler?
Cheers
