NAME

Lab::VISA - Perl interface to the National Instruments VISA library

DESCRIPTION

This library offers a Perl interface to National Instruments' NI-VISA library.

It is one of the possible backends for the high-level measurement control package Lab::Measurement, but can also be used on its own.

Lab::VISA is known to work with GPIB, TCP/IP and serial connections. Other interfaces supported by the NI-VISA library are likely to work as well. The library has been tested on both on Linux and on Windows.

INSTALLATION

Detailed installation instructions are given in Lab::VISA::Installation.

FURTHER SUPPORT

In case you encounter any problems, you are encouraged to use a public forum for discussion. This way future users will be able to take advantage of your findings.

There is a mailing list set up, also for Lab::VISA, at https://www-mailman.uni-regensburg.de/mailman/listinfo/lab-measurement-users

Bugs can be reported to https://github.com/lab-measurement/lab-measurement/issues

You will also find that the authors of this package are always happy to receive feedback.
