Hey Gregg,

Measurement Computing started out in 1989 as Computer Boards Inc. In 2000 they were re-named Measurement Computing.

Not important, just FYI.

Hello!

Wasn't that a product from DataTranslation whose favorite product was a

frame grabber board? It needed a difficult to manage series of plugins to

accommodate the early releases of VEE that happened to be available then.

It ran with VEE (version 4 or 3 even) for Windows 3.11. I remember getting a

copy and exploring it.

Which then asks, "Did the firm become known as Measurement Computing?".

I am trying to add an Advantech PCI-1750 digital I/O card. But Vee doesnt seem to see it in the connection expert. I have loaded the card and drivers for it. Has anyone had issues with this card or could someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks,

Jon

  Hi Jon,
  
  I'm currently using Advantech USB 4751L digital I/O card. Advantech digital I/O comes with an active X interface.You need to go the Vee program and select "Active X references" in the edit button i think.
  A list of supported .ocx or .dll files shall be displayed.Find your PCI-1750 interface.
  You can directly call this in your Vee program, it will recognize immediately.
  
  There is an issue with Advantech I/O device supporting windows 7.
  For some reason, i couldn't find the "Active X references" anymore.It was not registered and recognized by windows 7.
  According to them, they do not provide "Active X references" for windows 7.
  
  Do you know how can find this active X control for Advantech digital I/O card?
  It needs someone with windows programming to generate these files.
  
  Thanks,
  
  regards,
  pkrci

Unless your instrumentation sits on a VEE recognized bus (read HPIB/GPIB, TCP/IP, USB, serial) then you'll probably get very little help from the built in instrument helpers.

Your best bet for this card would probably be to load Advantech's OCX driver & check out the examples for working with it. If the OCX won't do what you need it to, try the Universal driver. I see the 3rd party software is all LV oriented.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a plug and play digital I/O card for Vee? I've seen Amplicons cards, are there any others that anyone knows about?

Said another way - there isn't one.

Amplicon is worse in that they don't even have an ActiveX interface (yet).
You're stuck with the dll.

The other option I'm aware of is IVI-COM wrappers for drivers. VEE will deal with these, though I've never used them myself.

This is simply the price you pay for cheaping out on hardware. It's a valid path, but if you're looking to use VEE & DirectIO, well, that pretty much requires translation hardware & a SICL interface. The whole point of these bus cards is reduced cost so there's no translation hardware. All you usually get is a proprietary dll interface to a driver. VEE will handle it, but not through the instrument manager.

Measurement Computing has a set of VEE drivers for their cards. They are old and a little antiquated, but they work.

That was it. It's been so long...

I dunno. I can't come up with comments about it that won't offend at least somebody, so I guess I'll just shut up.

Apologies to Amplicon. I shouldn't have said your solutions are worse than anybody else's. I'm just of the opinion that pretty much this whole class of instrumentation is still lost.

I guess I'm to blame as much as anybody else. I did a couple drivers for Advantech stuff, but they sure weren't VEE friendly.
