GPIB pci-card isnot recognizd by ni measr&Automation

[nokuy]

NI GPIB pci card is not recognized by NI measurement&automation but does appear on the add-hardware on control panel.

We did install the NI 488.2.5 software before the card is installed.  

can someone help us resolve the problem?

Hey Nokuy,

Something that you may try, is go to Device Manager, by right click on My Computer->Properties->Hardware Tab->Device Manager. Check that the board is associated with National Instruments. Something I would recommend is right click on the board, and click uninstall. Uninstall will really just un-associate the board with the driver it is currently using, and will re-associate it with the correct driver. Then restart the computer, and it should go through the new hardware wizard, and you should be able to see GPIB0 in MAX.

If not, just let us know.

I got the message that I should deinstall whole NI488.2 folder because it is corrupted or missing. After I do that where I will find uncorrupted version of this file.Thank you.

Hey Anton,

You should be able to find all the drivers at http://www.ni.com/downloads and click on drivers and updates. Just put for the paramaters the following. If you're using a different OS, just change it accordingly.

Can you let me know if this helps?

Regards,

Nick D.
