I have a digital storage oscilloscope tektronix 2430,and an old style GPIB card (8 bit, ISA). How can I work with labVIEW?

My GPIB card is NI one, but it is 8 bit-ISA. I have LabVIEW (4.,5.1 and 6i version). I want to work with my digital storage oscilloscope Tektronix 2430. I need your experiences.

Hi there,
My suggestion is start try with "MAX" to communicate with your scope,
Download the driver for the scope from NI.com. And from there you can get started.
Good Luck and if you need any help, just post in this forum.

Go here and find the exact model of your GPIB board and get the correct driver for it. Your LV 4 CD probably has a driver that will work but not all OS's are supported by all versions so you're going to have to make some decisions there as well. If you can get the GPIB driver installed, then any of the LV versions you mention should work OK but try the latest first. Instrument drivers are currently available for only LV 6 and 7.

Thank you. I tried my 8bit-ISA GPIB card with Lab 6i but in vain. I used that card successfully with Lab sudent (4). I also had another 8 bit ISA GPIB card by IOtech Inc (not NI product one), which driver is available ?

Where are you find the labview 4.0? I also need one, can you tell me where I can download it? Thanks
