This program was written with LabWindows/CVI 5.5 using the Keithley KPCI-488 (GPIB PCI card) with the CEC 488 software driver on a Windows 2000 platform running a Keithley 2000 Multimeter.  The example code will only run if you have succesfully installed the software driver files off the CEC 488 v 5.00 or greater floppy disk that ships with the product. First, validate that the card works by using either trtest.exe or test488.exe. Both programs are diagnostic tools found under the CEC488 install folder. If you need additional help with programming the KPCI-488 card, please reference the IEEE-488 Interface Board User's Manual, Section D-1 which covers C and C++ Language Interface. The LabWindows / CVI Build Options was set to Compatibility with Microsoft Visual C/C++.  If the CVI Build Options under the Options pull down menu was not set properly, the Microsoft Lib and DLL may not compile.  The default command "*IDN?" was chosen as an example command in the program. Your specific application may require another command to be  sent to the device for communication. Attached in this Zip file is a Setup for a stand alone KPCI-488 utility.   It is the exact same example program made into a LabWindows / CVI Run-Time.  AJT 01/30/02
