Can a 488.2 controller be used with 488.1 device?

I was wondering if a 488.2 controller can be used with a 488.1 device? I have used the same controller with 488.2 devices with no problems but not with a 488.1 device.

srm,
A 488.2 controller (such as any of NI's GPIB boards) is backwards compatible with a 488.1 device. Both use the same digital communication protocol to address the bus. The main differences in 488.1 and 488.2 are the status model (which is also backwards compatible, 488.2 just added additional functionality on top) and that the 488.2 specification added additional software specifications, such as a common command set and syntax & data structure guidelines, that a 488.1 device would not necessarily understand. So if you were trying to address a 488.1 device using commands or programming calls specific to 488.2, this could be the cause of the problem. I know these abilities are separated into two different palettes in LabVIEW, I'm not sure exactly how they are separated in the text-based languages.
Regardless, a 488.1 device should show up when you "Scan for Instruments" with your GPIB card in MAX. Some things to check are that the GPIB card is installed with the proper drivers (the latest verison of NI-488.2 compatible with your OS) and is detected by Windows and MAX, the cable connections are made properly and the instrument is powered on and has its GPIB interface configured with an address that does not conflict with another instrument. Hope this helps clear up the confusion, have a good day!
Sincerely,
Ross C

    I have a company Ipad that belonged to a deceased employee. no access to his icloud or appleID. how can I restore it for use with a new apple ID?
    The apple ID was his personal account and can no longer gain access. Im sure I can get purchase recipts from the accounting department if needed. I tried to put the Ipad in restore mode and used itunes to "recover" the ipad but it still wont let me in because he registered the device with the "lost iphone" feature or whatever that is.

    Activation Lock in iOS 7  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • I have a smart rg router can a airport capsule be used with it

    can a airport utility be used with a smarter router

    The "smarter" router would need to have an available Ethernet port, and the Time Capsule would need to connect to the router that way permanently.
    If you can provide a few more details about what you are trying to accomplish, we can probably provide a better answer for you.

  • HT204387 Can a wireless mouse be used with the new IPAD?

    Can a wireless mouse be uses with the new iPad?

    While it is true that mice or other pointing device like track pads are not supported on the iPad since there is no real pointer, I use a stylus pen. I know it would probably tip over the iPad if you are standing it up, but it's the closest I've seen. I use the Wacom Bamboo stylus and a Zagg keyboard and the case for the iPad and keyboard. I use the stylus a lot on the Paper app to take notes in meetings and such. Not really a solution but if you are trying to move an insertion point in a document, it does work.

    Yes, on XP, Vista and 7. Have not tried 8.
    If so what software do I need to buy?
    Genie Timeline Pro does a very nice job...and it is similar to Apple's Time Machine.  It's not cheap though.  Check with the Genie folks for more info and compatibility with Windows 8.

    No, you will not be able to use a wired connection. If you have a iPad wifi, it can be used only with a wifi and if you have a iPad wifi+cellular, it can be used with both wifi and 2G/3G and 4G.

  • Can the deskjet 3940 be used with a dell inspiron mini laptop which has no cd compartment?

    Hello ?
    Really keen to purchase Deskjet but at moment only have the laptop named above to use with it.Is this possible as the set up CD does not go in it as no CD compartment ?

    Hi - Try following the steps in the doc at this link.  Once you follow the link, click on:
    Install the Driver Using Windows Update with a USB Connection (Downloadable Driver Not Available) ►
    The printer driver should already be in Win7 (I don't believe it will be any different for the mini laptop). 
    Hope that helps.

    Neither can a USB connected mouse.
    Other than a stylus, this is the only "mouse" that can be used with the iPad.
