GPIB Spy Help
You can access online help for GPIB Spy by selecting the GPIB Spy Help menu item
from the Help menu. All of the information covered in this chapter is available through
the online help. The online help contains a thorough description of each of the features
of GPIB Spy, as well as information to help you develop your Windows GPIB
application.
Performance Considerations
Keep in mind that GPIB Spy can slow down the performance of your GPIB application
and the whole windows system operating environment. If you record full I/O buffers,
update to an output file continuously, or configure GPIB Spy to record the information on
a large number of GPIB calls, it might have a significant effect on performance. For this
reason, use GPIB Spy only while you are debugging your application or in situations in
which performance is not critical.
