Hi Alex, You may want to have a look at pyvisa-py. That seems to work nicely for me without having to install the NI-VISA drivers. Cheers, Roel -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Huemer <ale...@xx...> To: Linux GPIB general mailinglist < lin...@li...> Subject: [Linux-gpib-general] Compatibility layer for pyvisa? Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2020 08:57:29 +0000 Hi My understanding is this: * linux-gpib implements drivers for many GPIB interfaces and provides a userspace API on top of that, which is great. * pyvisa depends on vendor drivers like NI-VISA or the equivalent of other vendors. Is this correct? I tried to get NI-VISA working yesterday in order to be able to use pyvisa with a NI PCI board, on a distribution that they do not want to support, on a i686 box. I gave up after some hours, the configure script they have in there was written by drunk monkeys. So, here is my question: Did anybody consider to make the linux-gpib drivers available to pyvisa? -Alex [1] https://www.ni.com/de-at/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-kal.html#334223 _______________________________________________ Linux-gpib-general mailing list Lin...@li... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-gpib-general |
