Tips for using Galil Tools with Labview

[AnalogKid2DigitalMan]

This post is not a question, but below is a link to Galil's site that provides various methods and tips for using Galil's software for communicating with their controllers using LabVIEW. Hopefully it will assist others in the future.

Thank you very much!

This is the information I was looking for.

I have successfully used Galil Tools in Labview for years.

Now I want to communicate using Galil Tools to a Newmark motor controller from a cRio 9048.

I have to somehow install the Galil libraries on the NI Linux RT system.

The Galil website says that they have a Linux version.

I am lost on how to get the Galil tool installed on the cRIO. Any Ideas?

I have not contacted Galil with this question because they probably know little about how Linux actually runs on the cRIO but I will if I get nowhere here.

Thanks

Hi Ken, 

I know this is a long shot. But were you able to solve your issue?
Using Visa Resource name to connect to your Galil driver?
