R help - Jan 2013 - GPIB-compatible instrument control with R

Hello,

Does an R package exist for communication with instruments using GPIB
(IEEE 488) protocol?

Something similar exists in python for control of instruments over
GPIB, RS232, or USB buses (http://pyvisa.sourceforge.net/)

Thanks,
Marko

I don't know of any tools within R to do something like this, but one
possibility is to use other software that will interface with your device
and can then talk with R, one possibility for an intermediate program is
here: http://www.windmill.co.uk/index.html.

Hi,

I know this comes late but it should be mentioned. Since Jan 2016 there 
is a package "serial" on CRAN, which provides an interface to the
serial
RS232 RS485 RS422 com ports within R.
