Example for a General Standards SIO4 Board in LabView

[pegel2]

I have to integrate a cPCI SIO4 board from General Standards. There are LabView drivers comming with the Board and also an example vi. But, it doesn't work on my machine (WIN NT and/or 2000). So, reducing my learning phase, is there any example available to drive the SIO4 in any (prefered HDLC) mode.

Thanks

If the vendor provided examples don't work, have you talked to the vendor and determined why they don't? Do they provide a test of the low level device driver? Is the device present (Win2K - Settings>Control Panel>Computer Management, WinNT - Settings>Control Panel>Devices)?

When you say it doesn't work, does that mean it will not function in Windows or that you can see it in Windows but you get a LabVIEW error? If so, what is the error that you are receiving?

Sorry my General Standards cPCI SIO4 problem was not described exactly,

in the meantime I had enough time to investigate the problem. I think it is not a LabView problem, it is a
Problem of the vondors driver. The WIN NT drivers were delivered in a dll and a front panel file and they were converted via CVI to LabView format. So at the moment I use the vendor example to transmit and receive data. Transmission seems OK but, the receiving data is somtimes OK, somtimes NOT and there is no error indicated by LabView.
So my question is, did anyone have expirience with LabView and the General Standards cPCI SIO4 board ?
Or, is there another vendor (prefered NI) selling a board and LabView drivers with the following requirements:
1. 1Mbaud asynchronous data

2. 10Mbaud HDLC or SDLC in full duplex synchronous mode (send Tx clock and receive Rx clock)
sender and receiver may have different baud rates
3. 10Mbaud HDLC in half duplex asynchron or synchronous

sorry its not a real LabView problem but may be, there is a user that had the same problem in the past.
