The company responsible for LabVIEW and the IEEE-488 interface (also known
as GPIB, or HPIB if you're into that brand) is National Instruments.  Sorry,
I don't have the address on tap.  I saw an article on LabVIEW (in
_Electronic Design_ I think) and it looked pretty slick.  I've also
used some of their hardware/software (for LSI-11) and was favorably
impressed.

Oh, by the way, IEEE-488/GPIB lets you use more than hp instruments.
