Can I use a PCI GPIB card from QUANCOM with labview 6.1?

[AA-QMUL]

I installed a PCIGPIB1 card, form QUANCOM, and installed the driver and QLIB software for the board, however, I can't get NI 488.2 to recognize the interface and whenever I run the measurement and automation explorer, no GPIB is listed under devices and instrument. I need to use the board in order to control HP8729ES Vector Network Analyser using LabView. I have already got the instrument driver for the HP VNA but whenever I try to intialize my instrument and error comes back saying "Interface typeis valid but instrument number is not configured". When I try to use NI 488.2 troublshooting it does not recognise my GPIB board.

NI 488.2 won't work because the NI stands for NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS and not QUANCOM. You have to use the configuration software and driver from your vendor. If the instrument driver uses VISA and if your vendor provides a VISA driver for their card, then you should be okay. If the driver has the LabVIEW GPIB functions or if the vendor doesn't have a VISA driver, then you will have to replace all of the NI GPIB functions with whatever functions your vendor provides. If they don't provide a set of VIs, you may have to use a Call Library Node to access your vendor's dll.
