[time-nuts] potential source for cheap copy of labview

[paul swed]

Well this looks interesting. You can download what appears to be the same
bundle for a free 45 day trial. Doing that at the moment.
Then there is the NI-Visa download and it has gpib.
Not sure what much of this means in reality. What drivers do they have to
get to the old clasical fat GPIB used on a hp5370 as an example.
I have messed with labview a few times and always seem to get tangled in
old operating systems and ISA cards and such. I do have the ethernet GPIB
controllers they had made but they stopped supporting those 10 years ago.

XXXX Note. The FAQ suggests running the 32 bit version even on a 64 bit
machine as many drivers are only 32 bits XXXX

Regards
Paul.
