Problems getting an NI-AT-GPIB/TNT+ card to configure properly
Configuration: I need to build a dual boot system running win98 (constrained by required application software) and either win 2k or win xp (additional software needed but not compatible with win98).
I must use the NI-at-GPIB/TNT+ controller (application software requirement) and I am using Nexcom Peak 715GL2 SBC hardware with 1G memory and 80GB hard disk, CDROM and floppy. Additionally, I am using NI-DAQmx for configuring and managing the GPIB controller card. I am also using a MS C++ application with NI-DAQmx under win2K.
Results: Under win2k using NIDAQmx v2.x , only the GPIB controller section of the AT-GPIB/TNT+ is recognized. It passes the verification tests (I have not tried to access instruments yet) but the analyzer will not load. I REALLY need the analyzer to work in this configuration.
Under win98, using NI-DAQmx v1.7
Neither the analyzer or controller work. Win98 device manager reports analyzer properly configured but controller section has an ! and drivers are not loaded. No resource conflicts reported. The GPIB validation software reports an unspecified failure and the analyzer software reports the GPIB address as non existent.
Questions:
1) Does anyone have a win89 configuration with NIDAQmx v1.7 and AT-GPIB/TNT+ working? Does the analyzer work?
2) Does anyone have any ideas on this – this is REALLY FRUSTRATING.
