Well this looks interesting. You can download what appears to be the same bundle for a free 45 day trial. Doing that at the moment. Then there is the NI-Visa download and it has gpib. Not sure what much of this means in reality. What drivers do they have to get to the old clasical fat GPIB used on a hp5370 as an example. I have messed with labview a few times and always seem to get tangled in old operating systems and ISA cards and such. I do have the ethernet GPIB controllers they had made but they stopped supporting those 10 years ago.
XXXX Note. The FAQ suggests running the 32 bit version even on a 64 bit machine as many drivers are only 32 bits XXXX Regards Paul.
