Gentlemen, a new version of EZGPIB is available.
One of the biggest improvements of EZGPIB is that I have found a flawless way for communication between EZGPIB and ProfiLab. ProfiLab is a German (may be installed in English and French language too) based construction kit system for data acquisition systems that is in many aspects comparable to LABVIEW. However it has a much smaller footprint than LABVIEW, is a bit limited in its capabilities against LABVIEW but costs less then 100 !! Learn more about ProfiLab at http://www.abacom-online.de/uk/html/profilab-expert.html One of the few flaws of ProfiLab is that it does not provide GPIB communications. That makes it the ideal partner for EZGPIB which makes GPIB communication a snap. EZGPIB on the other hand lacks the rich set of graphic controls and displays that ProfiLab provides. They team up! Among other ways ProfiLab can communicate with hardware or other software by means of an imported DLL. These imported DLLS appear on the working screen as a building block having a number of inputs and a number of outputs. I have written such a DLL for ProfiLab which can be configured to have 1 to 1000 inputs and 1 to 1000 outputs. Once the DLL is configured it can be connected to other ProfLab components in the usual way. Nothing more needs to be obeyed in the ProfiLab project. The counter piece to that in EZGPIB is a set of two functions named EZGPIB_ProflabOut(Output:Integer; Value:Double) and EZGPIB_ProflabIn(Input:Integer): Double which directly operate on the ProfiLab building block by means of shared memory. The ProfiLab directory contains the necessary DLL that should be copied to ProfiLabs root directory together with its INI-file. The Profilab directory also includes a ProfiLab demo project that matches the EZGPIBs ProfiLab.488 demo. A short demo AVI of EZGPIB in conjunction with ProfiLab can be found here: http://www.ulrich-bangert.de/EZGPIB_Profilab.zip The software can be downlaoded from the ususal place. Enjoy.
