read hex from eprom and compare to burn file

[Raaron]

I need to read hex files from programmed eprom ic's at different addresses and compare their outputs to a burn file to make sure they were programmed correctly. I do not yet know what format the burn files will be in but at this point i am just curious what hardware i will be needing and an overall concept of reading hex files. Can i simply use the visa read and visa write through the com1/com2 serial port, is this the simplest way?  I am using labview 2010 and have access to a pxi-1033 chassis with a 6509 module and also a 5422 module along with standard serial connections on the back of my pc.  Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Does your EEPROM have a serial interface?

I think you should avoid trying to build an interface with your DIO and Arb just for reading.

What do you use for programming the EEPROMs? That device probably has a readback and verify function which will be much simpler to work with.
