Direct I/O uses SICL, not VISA. If you wanted to use VISA on a pure NI system, we did write a generalized I/O plug&play driver that I think is still available. If you load that driver and choose ASRL for the interface, it will speak VISA to the serial port.</DIV><DIV dir=ltr align=left> </DIV><DIV dir=ltr align=left>I think side by side I/O is the better solution, but this can be an alternative.</DIV><DIV> </DIV>Jay Nemeth-Johannes Smart Sensor Systems 720 SW 14th Street Loveland, Colorado 80537 (970) 663-0006 <A href="http://www.smartsensorsystems.com/">www.SmartSensorSystems.com</A> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> <HR tabIndex=-1> From: Drago, William @NARDAEAST [mailto:William.Drago@L-3com.com] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 12:05 PM To: VRF Subject: RE: [vrf] VEE with Nat'l VISA </DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Okay, thanks...</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left>-----Original Message----- From: Street, Andy M [mailto:andy.street@tycoelectronics.com] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 9:47 AM To: VRF Subject: RE: [vrf] VEE with Nat'l VISA </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left>Hi Bill,</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left>I think you can (but I have never tried it for real!). Unless things have changed dramatically VEE's Direct I/O object puts a call into the SICL layer of the Agilent IO Libraries for GPIB. If the Agilent IO Libs are not installed/you are using the NI API, then VEE throws the call out to the NI488.DLL and hopes that it is there! For the serial port, VEE directs the call to the SICL layer. No SICL installed, no talking to the serial port, just the error message sicl32.dll not found...</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left>I think that you should be able to install the Agilent IO Libs side by side with your NI installation. Install Agilent VISA as secondary if you choose to install the VISA API. This 'should not' mess anything up. You might even want to try a custom install of the IO Libs and choose only to install the SICL API.</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left>That's the theory anyway...</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left>Good luck,</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left>Andy</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left> <HR tabIndex=-1> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left>From: Drago, William @NARDAEAST [mailto:William.Drago@L-3com.com] Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 9:09 AM To: VRF Subject: RE: [vrf] VEE with Nat'l VISA </DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Well, it was working until I tried use the serial port. If I'm just using GPIB everything is fine. When I tried a program that needs the serial port I get a SICL error message--"sicl32.dll not found."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is there a way to fix this?
