What configuration file does the gpibconf.exe program update in NI488.2 v2.7?

We have just gotten a copy of NI488.2 v2.7 and the gpibconf.exe program is still there.  We use the

device names entered in the gpibconf.exe program as the bridge to our SW.  The gpibconf.exe program

used to edit the gpib.ini file.  This fiel doesn't seem to exist in 2.7.  What file is the gpibconf.exe program

operating on?

Hi mcbaggett,

 

Is it the gpib.ini file that is missing?  If you're using Windows 7, look in C:\Program Data\National Instruments\NI-488.2.  For Windows XP, look in Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\NI-488.2.

 

For NI 488.2 v 2.7, the gpibconf.exe utility changes the gpib.ini file which contains all the information about the device templates the user has created.  Let me know if you still cannot locate the gpib.ini file on your system.
