Yes, I had multiple Select Instrument steps in one and the same I/O
Assistant instance.
Obviously, this didn't work.
Instead, as you prompted me, I opened multiple I/O Assistant
instances, each one for another of three of my HPIB instruments.
The only way to interconnect them was thru " error out " into " error
in ".
But, most surprisingly, at least for me, it works !
All three of the instruments on the bus are controlled by this one and
only .vi.
This is great.
I am gonna try to put all of my seven GPIB instruments on the bus and
have them controlled by one and the same .vi.
This would be fun.
BTW, maybe off topic, maybe not, how many instruments can be daisy
chained with 1 mtr cables ?
I also have 3 x 2 mtr cables, not enough to star config all of the
instruments.
What is the IEEE488(2) rule for cabling ?
The vi cannot be stoppped as yet but I guess I saw an example
somewhere how to to insert a stop and restart function into the block
diagram.
Next step will be to ( try to ) present the read and queried tokens
{results from executing my first .vi :-)} onto the computer screen.
Of course, I will try myself first.
I have many examples in the documentation.
However, if I get stuck I am afraid I have to revert here... OK ?
BTW, most stupid question, I realize, but if this G-language works so
cute, why would one get involved in Labview's frightful C business ?
I started to master Borland C++ but it is no piece of cake at all for
me.
Thanks,
Peter.
