Error connecting to device.

I have a GPIB-PCII card and want to communicate with it with LabVIEW. i'm working under linux. The card is on device /dev/gpib0/gpib0. I think my LabVIEW does not know this. How can i say it to him?
For serial devices you can add 'labview.serialDevices: "/dev/..."'. Is there spmeting similar for GPIB?

Hi,

You should consider using VISA as it is much more simple. Configure the device using ibconf and then use visa to talk with the device. Also I believe that the devices should be created as /dev/gpib0 (not /dev/gpib0/gpib0) so you may want to check into that.
