Hi, Cannot communicate with other instrument devices (Using AT-GPIB card)

[NT]

Using AT-GPIB card to communicate with instruments that the running program is in C. After installed 488.2 software and test Hardware Diagnostic Test and Software Diagnostic Test. Everything is OK but after I run execute file the errors appeared. They displayed "GPIB cannot find Amplifier,or Unidex". My main task is transfer the AT-GPIB card from PC 386 to PC windows 98. Please help me to solve these problems. May I still use the old execute file to put in drive C in new PC Wins 98 and run that program. Thanks

Hi,

It is hard to say what this could be. Everything tests OK so it is likely that your card is correct. Does MAX detect the instruments? I am not familiar with that error message. Is it the output of some custom program or the driver itself? It seems like it is not a driver level problem, but it is hard to say given the information.

By "May I still use the old execute file to put in drive C in new PC Wins 98 and run that program" do you mean keep an old application? If yes, then you should be able to use the old applicatoin with teh win98 driver. If you are refering to the driver itself, then no. You will need the windows 98 driver. This can be found at http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/versions.htm

Hope this helps out.
