I have a similar problem. I've created a vi that uses an Agilent USB to GPIB interface. On my development computer I checked the tulip driver in MAX to get the cross link between NI VISA and Agilent Visa going, and this works great. However, on my deployment computers, I do not seem to have MAX installed. I do have the runtimes, and visa installed. Is there a way to get MAX on a computer without a labview license? Or can you link the two VISA's together another way?

Hi Guys. I was hoping that I can get a few great ideas of some of the bright heads in here. For work, I need to build a test device for testing stepper motors. The device needs to be a generic drive for all 2 phase stepper motors. In basics, I need a few outputs to drive a stepper driver, and a few inputs to read some switches. The tricky bit is that it need to be stand alone, that is, sort of mobile, and no need to be connected to a pc to make it run. Can I do something like this on a FPGA ? (I have no experience with FPGA at all) What would be the most cost efficient way to do a labview device that will live by itself. Can it be done at all, or should I start look at some other alternatives instead. Any and all ideas are appreciated. Regards, Brian
