The Control Lab is a serial I/O device. I don't see the benefit of using NQC
with it since it doesn't run programs itself; the computer does. NQC would have
to change in a fundamental way to accommodate it: either compile to bytecodes
for a new "firmware" that runs on the PC and talks to the control lab, or
compile directly to x86 assembly language.
There used to be an ActiveX control at http://troyda.sas.muohio.edu/paper2.html
to run the Control Lab using C or C++. Why not use real C?
