NI 488.2 compatibility with Agilent I/O library 14.2.

[GAT]

Our lab has recently been trying to configure Signal Express to communicate with a couple of Agilent instruments via an Agilent 82357A GPIB-USB Interface . 

This note is attached to an article titled:

How Do I See My Agilent 82357A GPIB-USB Interface in MAX/LabVIEW?

found at:  http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/F7C187DBF09EBE1186256F550065BD32?OpenDocument.

Note: This method only applies to Agilent/HP's IEEE488 interface cards. Although the Agilent I/O Libraries are required to use your device, version 14.1 is incompatible with NI-488.2. You should use Agilent I/O Libraries 14.0 or earlier if you plan to install NI-488.2 on the same system.

Is the same compatibility issue a concern with 14.2? 

Thank You,

Nearly,I meet the problem .I use the hardware as up too,and I use io libraty to comunicate with 4275a and other equipments,it shows ok.

but i can use labview to comunicate with the equipment,it fails.

I wonder:

Is the problem about my software of labview,for example,i must to option and configure something for the instrument?

who can help me ?thanks very much!!

As the post you referenced mentions, the incompatibility is only a concern if you are installing NI-488.2 on the system, which would only be needed if you have both NI and Agilent GPIB interfaces in your computer.

To answer your more direct question, I believe that I/O Libraries 14.2 can be used in conjunction with NI-488.2.
