Compiling GPIB Programs
The example GPIB programs make the following assumptions:
H The GPIB controller board is ”GPIB0” (board 0). If you have more
than one GPIB controller in your workstation, and you want to user
a GPIB controller other than board 0, you must edit the source files
accordingly.
H The instrument is connected to the GPIB controller (see above) and
is set to address 1 (DEV1). If you want to use another address, then
you must edit the source files accordingly.
Each program requires adding the following source files to the associat-
ed VC++ project (which you will create).
H GPIBERR.C
H GPIBREAD.C
H GPIBWAIT.C
H GPIBWRIT.C
In addition to the above source files, you will also need to add the fol-
lowing files provided by National Instruments:
H decl--32.h
H gpib--32.obj
Visual C++
To make an executable for any of the example programs in the Source
directory, perform the following steps:
1. Install Microsoft Visual C
++
, Version 6.0.
2. Install the National Instruments GPIB board and drivers.
3. Copy the following source files from your National Instruments
GPIB drivers directory to this directory (”Examples\Source”):
H decl--32.h
H gpib--32.obj
4. Create a new ”Win32 Console Application” project in Visual C++
located in this directory (”Examples\Source”). For example, if you
want to build the Talker/Listener application, select this directory
for the location, and enter a suitable name for the project, such as
TL.
5. Add the following Visual C++ source files to the project:
H ..\GPIBERR.C
H ..\GPIBREAD
