GPIB in PXI-8186

[Shreesha]

HI,
I have an PXI-8186 system with inbuilt GPIB slot. I want to use GPIB in collecting information from a Oscilloscope.
When I look at the MAX software, in the remote systems(PXI system); it shows a GPIB icon, but says it as a PCI GPIB.
Can anyone tell me how to check if my PXI-8186 GPIB is working correctly, and how to make it collect data.
Thank you.

Shreesha,

I would connect an instrument to the GPIB connector and run 'Scan for Instruments' in MAX. The PCI-GPIB that you are referring to is indeed the GPIB connector on your PXI system.
