[sci.electronics] AT-GPIB interface

chris2@garfield.MUN.EDU (Chris Paulse) (12/12/89)

Anyone had any experience controlling the National Instruments
AT-GPIB board using C or C++?  The board arrived a couple of days
ago with the .OBJ drivers on a diskette.  The doc for BASIC is extensive,
but there's hardly any for C.  I plan to get some from the
manufacturer, but that'll take weeks (months).  I've libraried the
prescribed objects for the C language, but the MS linker won't
find the calls in the Library.  I'm using Zortech C/C++ which should
link cleanly with MS link 3.*, and the little doc on the C interface
says it's for use with MS cc.  Any help would be appreciated (even an
e-mail address for support from National Instruments)

The e-mail address for National Instruments.  I don't really know who you could
send e-mail to, but you might try the usual (usenet, root, uucp, etc.) to get
their attention.

If this doesn't work, e-mail me - I'll get them on the phone and try to get you
an e-mail address.

They are pretty good folks - I did a job at 3M here in Austin using their
board in a Sun 386i.  When we had problems with it, they were good about sending
out a gal to help us with it.
