Hello,
i created some instrument dlls with c# for lan and gpib-instruments. They are compiled with Agilent-IO-Libraries-Visa but the dlls are also running in teststand with NI-VISA.
Now there is also NI-Max- What is the advantage if all instruments appear in here? The lan-instruments can be added to the VISA-TCPIP but i cannot add my gpib-instruments as the hardware is not compatible.
Question is: If i want to use also NI labview for controlling the instruments is it then needed that the instrument is shown in MAX or can i just use the visa-string to send commands to all instruments.
And: What is the advantage of installing NI 488.2 ? Is this needed by labview if the gpib-instrument should be used?
Thx
BR

I dont use IVI. The functions are hardcoded SCPI-commands.
It is an Adlink USB->GPIB-Controller with a separate configuration-tool.
I am not sure if this can be shown in MAX.
Do you think after enabling tulip the adlink-controller should be shown in max?
