Who's using National Instruments Hardware/Labview / Measurement Studio for Home Automation?

Phew, those prices are still so high! I have a Sun S-bus NI GPIB board desperately seeking a driver; is there any chance you have any sparc Solaris NI stuff?

Regards,

Michael

You don't say which Sun OS version or which National Instruments HPIB board, but you can download NI drivers for eight different NI HPIB boards for SPARCstations running Solaris 1 and Solaris 2 here:

But, frankly, with USB Data Acquisition modules with 32,000 samples/second, 12-bit analog-to-digital converters, dual 12-bit analog out, dual 330khz 10-bit PWM, 16 bidirectional digital I/O, and 16-bit counter for NI (Labview, Measurement Studio) costing $79 ($49 if you want

100 ;-), running a power-hungry box for HA isn't so attractive (regardless of the merits of the OS).

The iUSBDAQ-U12086 low-power, credit-card-sized USB Data Acquisition (DAC) module has 16X better resolution than the ELK/Ocelot/etc HA controllers which makes them much better suited --- at

Thanks for your reply. I checked the URL just in case things have changed, but alas (quoting):

"SB-GPIB/TNT (SBus) X 2.3 (my board)

Note:NI-488.2 drivers for Solaris 2.x are not free downloads; the NI-488.2 driver for Solaris is available for purchase or upgrade only."

I was just hoping that perhaps you had this one for Solaris 2 and perhaps could discuss its acquisition.

This is not for HA, but for some GPIB instruments we now run on HP 300 RMB.

Now we have the specific OS and specific board and maybe someone else will find your request. (I used to use HPIB and IEEE-488 on HP machines but that was in the 1980's with HP and Ziatech ISA bus controllers so I am of no help. I eliminated everything IEEE-488 in the last move 8 years ago. Sometimes which I hadn't ...)
