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
