Buying used GPIB/ENET100 card. What software must have with it to configure and use. Have LABView 7

Hello,

Thanks for contacting National Instruments.

In order to use the GPIB/ENET100 with LabVIEW 7.0, you will need the 488.2 driver. This will come with the ENET so you should not need to purchase anything else. You can also download that driver at the following location.

Good luck with your application!

Actually, I believe the drivers that are available on the NI website are licened for upgrades only. If the hardware came with an NI-488.2 driver, you can upgrade that to the latest version with the link above.

If your purchase did not include a software license (the hardware is sold separately from the hardware due to single- and multi-user license options), you need to purchase a license of NI-488.2.

The part numbers for the single and multi-user license for Windows are 778598-02 and 778598-01. Other operating systems are listed as well.

If you have any confusion, you should contact NI to confirm licensing issues.

Yes, you are correct. I forgot that you must purchase the license when using on the ENET/100. That is also discussed on the driver download page.
