Primary address and Secondary Address of GPIB while configure the software for NI7210 chip

[Ankur]

I am using your latest linux software i.e. nigpib_linux_0.8.5 to install my GPIB Card. I have sucessfully installed it. But at the time of configuration i am getting the problem about the Primary and Secondary address of GPIB bus. Can u please tell which address should i use for these?

Hi Ankur,

You can use any driver as long as is unique on the bus. Just select a primary address, there is n o need for a secondary address (disable it).

But more importantly, the linux driver does not work with the NI7210 chips. This driver is intended for interfaces using the TNT4882C GPIB controller.

Make sure you have a board with this ASIC.
