Want to us CWGPIB control as NOT CIC

[GDSSoftware]

Greetings...

I am using a PCI-GPIB+ card with a Measurement Studio 6 CWGPIB control. The application I have is to use this card (Call it GPIB#2) in a computer to read commands sent by another GPIB interface (PCI-GPIB) located in another PC (call it GPIB#1).   GPIB#1 is the CIC and is configured from NI-Max to be the system controller. GPIB#2 is configured to NOT be the system controller.

1. I can use the straight DLL calls (IBWRT,IBRD etc) to communicate between these two computers, so I know hardware and software are configured correctly.
2. I want to use the CWGPIB control on my forms, but whenever I perform the configure method I get "ERROR 30331 GPIB Board not Controller in Carge (CIC)"

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello Ned,

The CWGPIB control is designed to communicate with a device on the gpib bus, and not for board level communication as you are wanting to perform.  I would recommend that you use the functions from the DLL to perform this functionality.
