SRQ Line no longer works on a PCI-GPIB

[Tims]

I have just upgraded a test pc, (tranfering hardware, reinstalling software etc) and now I have a fault with the PCI-GPIB card.
One of the instruments connected to the PC (HP34401 multimeter) uses the SRQ line to indicate when its ready to download its readings. The LV 5.0 code uses the standard legacy drivers from NI and these drivers use the 'wait for SRQ' function which are now timing out in the new setup.
The rest of the card functionality seems ok, and it tests ok. The LV code and cables are fine, because I can run the system with a USB-GPIB-B device.

Has anybody had the same problem?
Could it be a hardware specific driver problem?

The current config is:
1.7GHz PC with 512Mb Ram
PCI-GPIB
PCI-1200

LV 5.0.1
NI-
488.2 Version 2.0
VISA 2.6.1
NIDAQ 6.7

Thanks for your help

Hi Tim,

I found this knowledge base article which seems to address the same problem:
Why is the Agilent 34401A Driver's Getting Started VI Timing Out?

Hope this helps out.
