[volt-nuts] do you like Labview in your labs?

[Ivan Cousins]

  Some may not be aware that there is an alternative to the NI VISA 
layer that is open source
(GNU General Public License).
I use it with GNU octave as an alternative to Labwindows-Labview.
I like open source tools on linux so they can be changed if needed.
On the web page it is mentioned:
"You might be interested that your vxi11 package can be compiled on 
Cygwin/Windows."
I have not tried this.
