Basic Documentation on GPIB DLL for Programmers

Is there any basic overview of the correct way to initialize devices and communicate with them using the DLL calls directly? I have plenty of examples at it appears each has a different way of approaching opening, scanning for, or various other ways of accessing GPIB instruments. Is there a standard 1,2,3 way that should be followed from procedure start to end for working with a GPIB device from opening, sends and receives to final closing of the device?

Hi Ceetee,
I think you will be very interested in chapter 3 of the NI 488 User Manual. The middle of page 3-8 will give you a good idea of the flow of a 488 program. I would recommend reading all of chapter 3 "Developing Your NI-488.2 Application". You can locate this manual by searching at www.ni.com/manuals or if you prefer the direct link: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/321819d.pdf
Hope this helps out.

Need documentation for writing GPIB drivers for RTOS-32 using Borland C 5.51

Greetings,
I need to develop GPIB drivers (using the NI GPIB card) for the RTOS-32 operating system (by On-Time). I am using Borland C 5.51 as the compiler. I am looking for info/examples on writing/porting low level drivers for the GPIB. The examples I have found come with the low levels drivers in an object file which you link in, but nothing on how to write the low level drivers.
Any pointers on what documentation/examples that I should look at would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,

Fred,
National Instruments offers a DDK for customers to develop NI-488 drivers for operating systems that we do not support directly. Refer to the following product data sheet on using the NI-488DDK. http://www.ni.com/pdf/products/us/4gpib664.pdf

Call a dll for Labview: Function not found in library

Hello,
I am trying to call a very simple .dll form Labview. I compiled the .dll for x64 using Visual Studio 2010, because I am using Labview(64-bit). I did everything exactly the way I read it in several Tutorials. But the "Call Library Function Node" doesn't create a popup menu with the avalible functions like it is supposed to do. The Import Wizard doesn't find any functions neither. What is wrong with my .dll?
I added a block marked 'extern "C" ' into my source file, but it still won't work.
Thanks
Matthias

You need to define an entry point to the DLL
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE hModule,
DWORD ul_reason_for_call,
LPVOID lpReserved )
return TRUE;
Also add extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) to your functions

HP8563E Spectrum gpib driver for labwindows/dos

Hi
I'm looking for HP8563E Spectrum gpib driver for labwindows/dos.
Best regards

I don't know of a driver, but you can download from agilent their Spectrum Analyzer compatability guide which cross references their analyzer's GPIB commands and create your own driver. It contains compatable commands for 8563 among others.
http://www.tm.agilent.com/classes/MasterServlet?view=faq&faq-ItemID=1000003541&language=eng&locale=US
I still use the 488.2 board (successfully with WINNT, ME with patch, 95) and don't use instrument drivers, just include the NIGLOBAL.bas and the GBPI32.bas and import them into either a VB project or MS Excel. From what I've seen there are only two basic types of instrument commands, settings and queries (both text), so I don't use a pre-compiled driver. Also been successful at using Microsoft's Winsock ActiveX control for real

Where can I get the latest Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.dll for SharePoint 2010?

Can somebody point me to where I can get the latest Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.dll for SharePoint 2010?
When I go into Library Settings on any library or list in SharePoint 2010 I’m getting an unexpected error; I see this in the SharePoint log:
11/18/2014 13:12:26.36 w3wp.exe (0x2260)                       0x33EC SharePoint Foundation

We noticed exactly the same issue after applying some SharePoint updates (SP1 + October 2011 CU). The problem turned out to be that there was an older version (V14.0.4762.1000) of Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.dll in the GAC.
This version was being loaded instead of the latest version of the DLL (14.0.6112.5000).
Loading the latest version of Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.dll fixed the problem with the List/Library settings page.
I check our Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.dll and found that we have version 14.0.6024.1000.
I would like to try replacing it with the latest version to see if that could fix the problem going into library settings.
Does someone know where I can get the latest Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.dll for SharePoint 2010?
David

You would need to extract it from an update. Pre-SP2 SharePoint 2010 is no longer supported, I'd recommend upgrading to SP2 which should take care of any versioning issues.

Where can I find GPIB drive for Stanford SR830 lockin amplifier for labview 6?

Hi I am trying to work with the lockin amplifier (Model: Stanford Research SR830). Unfortunately, my computer only has labview 6 installed. Could you please let me know where I can download a SR830 driver of GPIB version for labview 6? I have checked the NI website. Only drivers for LabVIEW 8.0 and up are available here. http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=240C113D3165071BE0440003BA7CCD...
Please let me know. If any one could upload one, that would be so great. Thank you.

Hi Wayne,
I am assuming you obtained the drivers from ni.com/drivers webpage? You can ask someone to convert it for you on the version conversion board and you should be good to go. If you create a new thread there please post the link to it over here so we can continue assisting you. Thank you and good luck!

Hi Everybody,
Can u explain which path of AddOnInstallAPI_x64.dll for 64 bit of SAP B1 9.0 Version?
Please share the download path for AddOnInstallAPI_x64.dll for 64 bit of SAP B1 9.0 Version.
When am creating ARD fie for 64 bit of SAP B1 9.0 , By Right Click on the Project Properties-->compile-->Advanced Compile Options-->X64.
Once created ARD file, then i opened "C:\Users\User1\Desktop\ARDFile\ARDname\ARDname\ARDname\AddOnRegDataGenFile"
While double click on the "windows Batch file"(AddOnRegDataGen), it automatically generates ARD file and EXE File.
In ARD file, Edit the ARD file--> Change the Platform "N" to "X". whereas EXE file could not change the 64 bit.
Hence the error shows in SAP b1 "Addon exception or "Incorrect string format".
Please fix this issue ASAP.

Dmamgr.dll & pcimgr.dll for Visual Studio 6.0 (Win 98 or 2K)

I am missing the following NI dll's:dmamgr.dll & pcimgr.dll for Visual Studio 6.0 (Win 98 or 2K)
Does anyone know the name of a .zip file that includes them, or any other information pertaining to them?
Is there anyone from NI who has them?
Thanks.

Hi. An NI support engineer sent me a link, but when I tested it, the link failed. Apparently it was only temporary.
In any event, I've resolved this issue for my own satisfaction, however for the benefit of anyone with the same problem, the
.dll's are in the following zip file:
nivxi211.ZIP
None-the-less, I did a search of the NI web site and cannot find this file at this time, so if anyone else wants it, they'll have to ask someone again.
Thanks, however, as I said, my issue has been resolved happily. (-:

I found this program sqlite with dll for firefox and thunderbird, is this a program thatis pat of your system? Should I delete entries or leave them alone?

I am looking for what is generating internet activity on my pc and I came across entries for sqlite.exe that has dlls for firefox and thunderbird. Is this a program you use with these programs? Should I leave it alone ot delete?
Paul Shodean

Also, although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

Outlook 2007 doesn't show icloud service running. Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook?

Outlook 2007 doesn't show the icloud service running in Windows 7 within outlook. Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook? I've installed the icloud control panel app and set it up to synch everything, but after initially downloading my icloud calendar, it won't process any calendar updates (new entries made on either iphone 4 on ios 5 or outlook).
So since the control panel installed, but the service doesn't show running in outlooks "trust center" add-ins list, anyone know the actual dll file it would point to so I can see if I can add it the hard way?

I had the same issue and figured it out. First you have to start Outook as administrator. To do this, shift and right-click on outlook and click run as administrator. Next you need to enable Hard-disabled add-ins:
Hard-Disabled Add-Ins
Hard disabling can occur when an add-in causes the application to close unexpectedly. It might also occur on your development computer if you stop the debugger while the Startup event handler in your add-in is executing.
To re-enable an add-in
In the application, click the File tab.
Click the ApplicationName Options button.
In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Disabled Application Add-ins list. The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
In the Manage box, click Disabled Items, and then click Go.
Select the add-in and click Enable.
Click Close.
Then you need to activate it.
To re-enable an add-in
In the application, click the File tab.
Click the ApplicationName Options button.
In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Inactive Application Add-ins list. The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the check box next to the disabled add-in.
Click OK.

CrystalDecisions.Web.resources.dll for Crystal Report 2011

Hi,
I recently install Crystal Report 2011and I try to use localization for Crystal Report Viewer in a .NET web application.
I read several tutorials which say to use CrystalDecisions.Web.resources.dll. I don't find this dll for Crystal Report 2011.
Could you help me ?
Thanks in advance,
Fred.

Hi Fred,
I believe you are looking for Crystal Reports Viewer which was a separate download correct? Currently there is no download for CRV 2011. It's in the works and the link should be made available in a few weeks, no exact time yet.
Thank you
Don

Problem in creating DLL for a LabVIEW VI

Hi
I am facing problems in creating DLL for a LabVIEW VI. Previously i had no problems in creating DLL for the VI that transmits a message from serial port to NI - PXI 7831-R Reconfigurable I/O card (configured by FPGA MOdule). When i try the same VI with a customized port developed using IVI drivers i am not able to create the DLL. It gives me error as follows:
Fatal Internal error: "datamgr.cpp", Line No: 1882
Please somebody help me out to fix this error.
Regards,
Subramania Bharathi

Hi,
Thanks for your curiosity in replying my questions. I am really sorry for replying so late. Actually the problem was with the NI SWITCH 2503 functions. Actually i was multiplexing the channels of my customized serial port using NI Switch module. This switching is done before i start my communication. My VI follows a sequence as follows.
1. Connect two channelss using Switch functions
2. configuration of both FPGA and the customized port
3. Transmit data from the port
4. Receive it in FPGA.
5. Reset the channels using Switch functions
I never expected that the error was because of NI Switch. When i removed them from my VI i was able to create the DLL and able to create sequence successfully to run in the Testsand. And
further i am using Switch Executive for swithcing the channels in TestStand.
But now i am very curious why it posted me that error when i used my NI Switch function?? I tried to create DLL for a VI that switches two channels and i was successful. But the error occurs only when i combine i with my FPGA functions!! If you could trace out the reason, please let me know
Once again thanks a lot for your support

Subramania Bharathi
