GPIB communication in AD3450

[3D_loves_eng]

Dear all,

Although the default interface of AD3450 and Digilent Waveforms does not support GPIB interface, is there any chance to establish a GPIB communication ?

My idea is to build a script in Digilent Waveforms, that allows me controlling a device (e.g. a power supply) via a USB/GPIB controller as in the  figure below.

All recommendation and feedbacks are appreciated.

 

 

Kind regards,

Hi @3D_loves_eng

With WaveForms Script tool external applications can be accessed, see Tool.exec/start functions, so you could call the USB/GPIB command app (if such exists) to send commands.

The WaveForms app supports controlling any device + DPS (or two identical devices), so you can control ADP3450 and DPS3340 from the same application.
With custom app/script multiple devices can be controlled.

Hi @3D_loves_eng

The next application version will add support for serial ports, so from Script you can communicate through COM ports.
