Silent/Unattended run of Add GPIB/ENET wizard

[supermayka]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to run the Add GPIB/ENET 100 wizard automatically.

I found the addhardware.exe opens the Wizard, but I requires clicking "Next", and I'm looking for a way to suppress this interaction.

I suppose the wizard updates some registree keys or writes to some .ini file, if so, maybe I could write a .bat file which will perform this instead.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

I've found a similar question here, but without a positive answer.

I'd appreciate any help.

Thank you,

Maya.

Hi Maya,

The GPIB/ENET 100 wizard is meant to be an interactive feature to help install and configure the device. You may be able to just create a batch file with return characters and the appropriate wait times between screens.

Thank you for the reply.

Hi Maya,

I was also able to find out that the wizard, in fact, modifies the GPIB.ini file located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\NI-488.2 on a Windows XP machine. You may be able to use a script to populate these values; however, do be aware that not entering appropriate values could lead to unexpected behavior.
