IEEE-488
The IEEE-488, or GPIB, interface has long been the industry standard for instrumentation communication. Xitron has standardized upon the National Instruments brand of hardware, and has written many LabView example applications that are provided below.

The LabView executable files require installation of the LabView Runtime Engine on the target computer. You may install the specific runtime engine for the application you download, or you may install all of them.

For those customers who program in the LabView language, the source code for many of the LabView applications is provided as a starting place for your programming project. These files are LLB's.
