I've used them on three projects now. It's just as easy as it sounds to use VISA with their virtual COM port driver. I also have some VIs to connect with their DLL and that works too.
The only hitch so far is that there seems to be an internal 4k buffer somewhere in the driver, so when I stream data at 921600 baud, sometimes VISA or my old PIII can't empty the buffer fast enough.

Hi list, Looking at documentation from http://www.ftdichip.com/ it looks as easy as 'falling off a log'. There are ready built modules such as these available from several suppliers. http://www.dontronics.com/dlp.html Can any one out there confirm? i.e. - Their virtual com port driver is useable from VISA, opens, reads and writes as advertised? -- -- Nick Baroni.
