For EZGPIB users: tools to compile your EZGPIB code unmodified.
« on: September 03, 2024, 12:47:19 pm »
Those of you who use EZGPIB already know how brilliantly useful it is, and that we owe the late Ulrich Bangert much gratitude for sharing it with the world.
One of my EZGPIB projects has grown into a rather large application, so I wrote some tools to translate the EZGPIB_ xxx functions into standard Pascal in order to compile with FreePascal 3.2.2.

Pro:  GPIB comms using a Prologix GPIB-USB adapter are way faster with the compiled version.
Con: I have only written support for RS232, VCP drivers up to COM30 and the Prologix so far.

The attached zip file contains everything I needed for my project, you may need to expand functionality for yours.

PS.
After 24 downloads, I have not received a single question,comment, suggestion  or even a thank you.
Putting downloads on this forum was obviously not a good idea.
Forum members who are interested in compiling EZGPIB code into a WIN32 .exe file can PM me.

ITs sound a brilliant Idea. i have startet with in 2017 also but stopped to medical reason.
Unfortunately Ulrich Bangert passed away due to cancer, and there is no one remaing to further support,
All I could get an information - it is based on a pascal engine, but could not get any further infos.
My main points to improvents, is the debug dupport.
Especially in a windows environment.
I have made many system-level programming but on MS-Dos, i really adicted to turbo pascal IDE and Turbo Debugger. its a easy and great handling of debugging code :-+,
set a breakpoint run from reset to break. noe single step until you found the problem.
this was not possible at ez gpib, due to an error in program, the brealpoint is not highighted, thus you never sure. if it reached the break or not, so i get allways lost.  :-//
Please accept thus many typing errors. :-// it is still caused by my medical issues (I have had 3 times astroke) :phew:
You will learn something new every single day
