I wrote my story just to warn you. Abandon all hopes when entering
the NI world.

Yes, exactly. I can release my interface modules to the community,
provided I do not have to write documentation ;-)
Please let me know if you are interested. I can send the following
subsystems "as is" to whoever wants to have a look, but please do it
at your own risk.
All subsystems worked under my BlackBox Data Logger. All my subsystems
are thoroughly commented. Some subsystems were modified by my
collaborators, who never wrote any comments, even when explicitely
asked to do so.
Subsystem Function Status Remarks
Niad NI PXI-4351 Works
Nida NI PXI-6733 Untested
Imaq NI IMAQ (video) Works
Zygo Zygo Displacement Measuring Interferometer Works (1)
(1) Requires a Dll from Zygo, which we had to modify because it
contained a bug.
Basically, it is lots of stuff right out of my research desk.
You would need to be rather brave to dig into it. On the other hand,
if you are using BlackBox, you must already be brave.
Let me know whether and where I should e-mail these modules.
W.
