Want to use the standard driver insted of NI-VISA driver, possible?

[Josv]

Hi!

I work with a cypress chip CY7C68013-56PVC and want to use the standard driver insted of NI-VISA driver.

Is it possible to view the chip in MAX with standard driver?

From "Using NI-VISA 3.0 to Control Your USB Device" is says:

>Furthermore, you should not have a driver for your USB device installed.

But when I have the need for controling my driver in another application, and therefore I need the standard driver...

Thanks

If you have the API and the dlls for the standard driver then you can interface to it with LabVIEW (usually), however, the device will not show up in MAX. MAX is proprietary to National Instruments and displays what they want it to display.

How is it then possible to know the resource name if I dont go through MAX?

If you're not using VISA, then there's no need for a VISA Resource Name. The Windows Device Manager should give you all of the inormation you need.

If you want to use another type of USB interface you have to use dlls. These have their own APIs and resource descriptions. You need to know the API. What are you trying to use, EZ-USB? Other types of USB drivers create virtual COM ports. Then you simply send the data there, albeit at a very high baud rate 🙂
