I am in the process of putting together a Data Acquisition/Control
System on the HP-IB/IEEE-488/GPIB Bus. I would like to use an IBM
PC/Clone/Compatible Computer as a controller.
My question is- I would like to minimize the amount of "Roll Your Own"
Software I'll need to develop by purchasing a test Package. Currently
I am familiar with 3 that seem to meet my requirements-
Lotus Measure, Labtech Notebook/Acquire, and one by HP.
My questions:
1) Are there any more available that are HP-IB/IEEE-488/GPIB Bus
compatible, and 1-2-3 or RS/1 interfaceable ?
2) What are the merits/demerits of the ones I mentioned. I am
especially interested in hearing from current users of any of these
or any other packages on how easy to program, implement, etc.
Also say what instruments you're using and the devices tested
(if you can).
If enough responses, I will post a summary. Please send all replies/flames
to me directly, no sense in cluttering the net groups.
