Small USB-GPIB device driver size for distro??

[James_Hume]

Hi all.

I've had a search and can't find a similar question so hopefully I'm not duplicating something...

I have created a little app to control an Agilen 53132 counter using the USB-GPIB NI device which I would like folks to be able to use internally in my group. Driver I use was downloaded from http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/2315/lang/en.

I can see that my app uses the following DLLs. However, can I a) distribute these and b) there must be some drivers below this level that will be required by a clean system.

gpibconf.sll, ni482.dll, nipal32.dll, nipalu.dll, nipalut.dll, nispylog.dll.

Only issue I have is that this is almost 0.5 GB in size. I would like to distro my app with a much smaller subset so that user can install just the relevant driver & dlls etc I'll need to use the USB-GPIB device. Does anyone know if a smaller driver set distro exists please?

Many thanks,

James

There is no smaller driver available.

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your reply.

I noticed in the download folder from the NI installer there are a lot of products. I assume one of the installers must do the device drivers. Could I, for example, use just a subset of these? For example I won't need any of the LabVIEW or MStudio* installations would I?

Cheers,

James

No, when you do an installation, you do not need to select all of the options. I do not know how you would edit the installer to not look for all of the folders that are part of it. Perhaps there is a way to create a silent install with just the options you want but I'm not sure about that.

OK, thanks for your help.
