polling gpib/enet unit over tcp/ip using java

[johnadams]

I understand that there is a linux driver for the gpib/enet product. Since I assume this device is polled over a tcp/ip connection, do I need to do this in C, ot can I establish a socket connection using java ? If so, what is the driver for ? is it just to assign an ip address and other setup functions ?
Thanks

Hi John,

You do not need to do this in C. In fact you can do it in just about any language. The librarys are exported to a shared object, so as long as your language can make calls to a .so, you are good to go. I am positive that java has this capability.

Hope this helps out! If you need the driver, it is available at www.ni.com/linux.
