a crate to handle NI-VISA connections and simplify its use.
Documentation
visa-device-handler-0.3.2 has been yanked.

Visa Device Handler

Based on the visa crate, this crate aims to provide a wrapper to allow multiple device connections and handling, and make the usage of NI-VISA easier to use.

The crate supports Windows, Linux and MacOS. but is being tested mainly on Windows and Linux so I cannot guarantee its behavior on Mac.

Example


let sdm_result:SafeDeviceMap = SafeDeviceMap::init(None);
match sdm_result {
    Ok(mapper) => {
        mapper.connect_device("address_01".to_string());
        let data = mapper.query_from_device("name_01".to_string(),"cool funcation with args").unwrap();
        println!("got {} from the device",data);
        mapper.disconnect_device("name_01".to_string());
    }
    Err(e) => {/*print codes or anything */}
}

Tauri

The next Tauri project utilizes the crate as a peripheral for NI-VISA. https://github.com/LiorBuch/showcaser. this project uses React and Mantine as the UI, it's not failproof as it's just a POC.

Change Log 0.2.0 -> 0.3.0

  • get_first_device now returns the device instead of printing.
  • get_first_device and find_all_devices now won't print unless debug boolean is true.
  • Fixed the error where the CString parses null terminators.
  • Added key error map in some functions.
