Thread: Re-Writing Instrumentation (GPIB) C Program In Eclipse (using MiniGW) in Windows 7

Hello Community!

I'm trying to re-write a program which is used to control GPIB measurement instrumentation. I know electronics but unfortunately I know very little programming .

I'm currently using Eclipse as my IDE and I'm using the National Instruments 488.2 API with the MiniGW compiler for Windows 7.

I'm carefully compiling after every header and library I include. Unfortunately I've hit a declaration (or title, not sure) that is not compiling.

Code:

Addr4882_t Instruments[32],            // Array of primary addresse

I have attached the original code 4882query.c for reference along with a screenshot and the header file.

Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

This line is in the header file:

Code:

typedef short Addr4882_t;

This might or might not work, but have you tried copy+pasting this line directly in the .c file directly below the #defines?

Try using a semicolon ";" instead of a "," after the variable loop.

Should I add it even though the next line has a semi-colon?
