Talk to GPIB card

[Killjoy]

I cannot figure out how to do direct DLL calls in VB .NET to talk to a NI GPIB card. I received the Beta version of Measurement Studio for .NET in the mail and installed it. In the directory C:\Program Files\NationalInstruments\MeasurementStudio\DotNET\Examples\Gpib\SimpleReadWrite\Vb (whew) there is code that uses VB .NET and 2 dlls to do simple GPIB communication (which is all that I need to do). However, there is no documentation on how to use those DLLs or what functions in them can be called. Where can I get this information?

The documentation for the Measurement Studio Technology Preview is integrated into the Visual Studio documentation collection. You can get to this help by choosing Help>>Contents from Visual Studio and looking for the "NI Measurement Studio" entry in the table of contents or by starting the NI Measurement Studio Reference documentation from your Windows Start menu.

Once you have the help open, you can find more information on getting started with the NI-488.2 .NET API by going to this link in your help browser:
ms-help://MS.VSCC/NI.MeasurementStudio/NINETConcept/static/Using_NINET4882.html

You can also click here to open it in your current browser (you must have it i
nstalled on your system, though).

Let me know if you need more info.
