Have a system controlled by a cRIO controller (cRIO-905x). Have a remote panel with a GPIB device in it. Since cRIO doesn't support GPIB with 488.2 (only VISA), then I would like to use a RS232-GPIB converter. The panel where the GPIB instrument is located is about 75 meters from the cRIO controller. Since my programming mode for cRIO is real-time (DAQmx), how could I get an RS232 connection to the remote panel.. I didn't see an RS232 module for a cDAQ chassis.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Can't seem to get any tech. support from NI anymore. And I don't think the NI Tech. Support Engineer in India knows what I'm talking about.
Thanks!
