Problems installing PXI-GPIB

[Andreas Bucher]

Hi,

I had already installed the PXI-GPIB board in my PC (cPCI with NT4.0)
and it worked fine. I removed it from the system and put it in again
some time later.
But now it is not working. Even removing all drivers and reinstalling
did not make it work. When configuring the board I always get the
message: "Changes to NI488.2 software could not be saved". What is the
problem?
Thanks,
Andreas

Andreas,

Try this:

1. Go to GPIB under Control panel
2. Select GPIB interfaes one by one (i.e, GPIB0, GPIB1 etc) and then select board type as 'None'
3. Then close the GPIB configuration and reboot the machine
4. Go to GPIB under Control panel again and pick PCI-GPIB from the list. Exit again and it should be able to save the changes.
