GPIB communication with GPIB (NI PCMCIA-GPIB)card in Visual Basic

I have a old program in Visual Basic which works fine in windows 98 using the desktop, but using my laptop with windows 2000 on it and NI PCMCIA-GPIB card it fails to communicate and running the program does not recognize the sendIFC command. I am new to VB, so can someone tell me what am I missing here. thanks

Hello,
Is the PCMCIA card recognized by the NI-488.2 driver on your laptop? Are you able to communicate from Measurement and Automation with your instrument? What do you mean it does not recognize the sendIFC command? Does Visual Basic give you a runtime or a compile time error? Are you using the latest version of the driver? (Usually 2.1 unless you're on 95 or NT with your card)
You can try out the Visual Basic language examples in the 488.2 directory under Languages as these will let you know whether or not the driver is installed correctly.
Let me know if you need more assistance by replying here.

Installing a PCMCIA-GPIB with WIN-XP and I get an "Unknown Hardware Error"

no resource conflicts. Config settings for GPIB0 are slot#ffffffff 500 nsec bus timing. Card worked with win-me, and ver 1.2 of install s/w - help!

Hi Dave,
You should try using the lastest driver for the PCMCIA-GPIB interfaces. This is NI-488.2 2.1. You can find it in the Driver and Updates page.

My PCMCIA-GPIB cannot start in win2000 system, tne error code is code 10

I installed the Driver V1.60 on my PC,and the PC can identify the card as PCMCIA-GPIB.But It cannot tested pass,as I open the Device manager,I can see the card is errored as "cannoe start,the error code is code 10",
and the resouce all are "?".

Hello,
This type of problem is difficult to diagnose without getting more information. Does it pass Diagnostics? If it fails, what part fails. Error 10 is not a common GPIB error. First I recommend going to http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/pnp2000/default.htm to troubleshoot.
If you cannot resolve the issue in this way, please go to:

PCMCIA-GPIB and IBM 760XD Problem

I have two IBM 760XD identical laptops. Both have the latest BIOS update (hxet60ww). I've tried W2K SP1, WinME, and NT4 SP3 with similar results. I'm trying to use a PCMCIA- GPIB card and consistently get "One or more GPIB interfaces failed." at the "GPIB Interfaces Sequentially Verified" in the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard. NI-488.2 Software presence was verified as was the GPIB hardware presence verified. Double-click on the GPIB0 line and the Troubleshooting Wizard comes back with "Unknown Hardware Error" and various suggestions. I've tried the instructions (multiple reboots, card in/card out) to no avail. I've hot-inserted the card in W2K, the O/S installs the hardware, I reboot, same results. Same using
the NI-488.2 "Add GPIB Hardware". Version is ni488216. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

If the revision number is C or lower, there can be problems and the card should be exchanged see http://www.ni.com/cgi-bin/search/search.cgi?scope=knowledgebase&query=1D3CIEGX for more details.
It may be a defective card. If possible, try another PCMCIA-GPIB card in that system. If it does have to be returned, RMA's are only done through phone support (512-795-8248).

Max Not Detecting PCMCIA GPIB Card

I'm having trouble getting NI MAX to detect that I have a PCMCIA GPIB Card in the computer. The C-Drive under hardware manager knows it's in the slot and says it's working fine. I tried to uninstall the GPIB Card so I could reinstall it but it won't let me.
I also tried adding hardware to MAX and selecting the PCMCIA card but it says that it can't be added.
I'm using the latest versions of GPIB, VISA, and MAX software that I can on a Windows 2000 computer.
Thanks

Hello,
When you say MAX is having trouble detecting the card, what exactly is happening? Do you see the card in MAX, but then you can't communicate with it? Does it show up with an error, or does it not show up at all? Could you give me the exact error message that you see. Are you using this on a laptop, or are you using a PCI-PCMCIA converter on a desktop? Does this happen on multiple computers? And just to verify, what version of NI-488.2 are you using? Hit <F5> in MAX to refresh the window and see if it shows up then. You could also try reinstalling the NI-488.2 driver, to see if it helps. Please let me know the answers to the questions above, and we can go from there to try to get this issue resolved. Thanks!

Is there a difference between the workings of PCI-GPIB and PCMCIA-GPIB?

I wrote an application in LV 7.1 to acquire data from a counter-based laser interferometer system. This application works well (acquires data as expected) when using my laptop (OS WinXP with PCMCIA GPIB card), but does not when using a desktop with a PCI-GPIB card. Both cards are from NI. Both are installed properly. Both see my instrument through address 9 as I expect. I run the same program, but not able to acquire data with the desktop which, again, is equipped with the PCI-GPIB card. Anyone has run into this sort of problem? Everything appears the same, so you would think that my application would work on both computers, but for some reason it does not. Appreciate your help. Thansk much in advan
ce for your feedback.
Otman

Dear Otman,
You may want to check the 488.2 driver versions on your machines; you should be able to use version 2.1 on both. Answers to the following questions may help in offering further suggestions:
1. Do you get an error message when you run the program on your desktop computer? If so, what error?
2. Were you able to verify in the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) that your PCI-GPIB board is properly recognized and can communicate with your instrument?
3. Are you using VISA functions or GPIB specific functions?
4. If you are using VISA, what version of NI-VISA are you using? (see note below)
5. What version of NI-488.2 are you using? (see note below)
Note: You can view your versions of NI-488.2 and NI-VISA in MAX as follows:
1. Launch MA
X (You can use Start -> Programs -> National Instruments -> Measurement and Automation)
2. Click the Software tab
3. Click on NI-488.2 and observe the version number in the center form.
4. Click on NI-VISA and observe the version number in the center form.
If you are still having problems be sure to get back to us!

Problems with PCMCIA-GPIB card

Hi all
I am using a PCMCIA-GPIB with driver version 2.2 on a Windows XP with a PCI-to-PCMCIA Adapter from Ricoh (device manager says: Ricoh R/RL/RT/RC/5C475II,R5C520 or compatible cardbus controller).
The Win XP detects the card without any problems and there are no resource conflicts.
However, I cannot communicate with GPIB devices and the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard says:
1. NI-488.2 Software Presence = verified
2. GPIB Hardware Presence =
And then a new screen: "The trouble shooting wizard has detect that no GPIB interfaces are configured on your system"
Can someone help me? There are no resource conflicts and I have also tried changing the PCI slot. The same problem also occurred when I installed the card in an
other computer.
Regards,
Juan"

I have tested a RICOH PCMCIA to PCI Adapter card. The PCMCIA to PCI Adapter card was tested using different operating systems (Win2000,XP,98,95) and using a Micron computer PIII 650 processor. When testing under the XP environment, with service pack 1, NI's device drivers Version 1.7 failed to load. (Code 10) Ni's driver version 1.7 was then removed and NI's device driver Version 2.2 was loaded. I did not experience any commutation problem as long as I used the standard NI calls. I did experience a problem with NI’s IBDIAG function call which is not supported under Version 2.2.
I would recommend that you get the latest service pack for XP and NI’s device driver Version 2.2.

MAX does not see PCMCIA-GPIB or GPIB-USB-B

I am using a legacy Windows XP SP3 system with MAX 3.1 and NI-488.2 V2.1. I use either a PCMCIA-GPIB card or a GPIB-USB-B.
When logged into an administrator account there are no problems; both devices appear in MAX and in the WIndows device manager.
When logged into a user account with limited privileges, the devices appear in the WIndows device manager, but not in MAX, but the VIs and compiled EXEs I user still operate correctly. However, if I convert the user account to an admin account the devices are visible, but this is not a solution because 'Security'.
The problem lies within the compiled EXEs as their respective VIs have been lost over time and the address of the PCMCIA or USB interface are hardcoded, and are not the same in all EXEs. I would appreciate any insight you may have.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Maelmorde,
If some features aren't working for users with reduced privileges you may need to grant them privileges to the National Instruments installation directory, the method is detailed in the KB article here.
I'd recommend trying this to see if it helps.

Unable to install PCMCIA-GPIB

I have been trying to install NI488.2 software for PCMCIA-GPIB in my WINDOW 98 PC. The device manager detects national instrument-GPIB. but says no hardware installed. I have installed using floppy p/n 500133a-01 for windows . version 2.7. I have also tried with dos version but same result please advise.

Hi Naren,
Consider going to www.ni.com/downloads and getting the newest version of ni-488. Then uninstall your version of 488 and install the new version. Also make sure that you have flashed your motherboard to the newest bios revisions.
Hope this helps out,

PCMCIA-GPIB for win 2000 running on cPCI bus via a cPCI PC Card Adapter

We are trying to use a PCMCIA-GPIB for win 2000 running on cPCI bus via a cPCI PC Card Adapter. Our OS is WIN2K SP3 and we are running version 1.7 (latest) of the drivers. Unfortunately when using the "getting started" wizard and the "verify software and hardware installation" the system occasionally doesn't pass the third test. When it does, we try to scan for instruments using MAX Explorer to talk to a Agilent CW generator via GPIB but it cannot find the instrument. Doing the same thing on a laptop PC is successfully achieved. Any information on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Although it should be transparent to the PCMCIA card, I have also have had some problems with some adapters. Specifically, I have been able to install the card in a PCI-PCMCIA adapter form Qualtech, but not if I'm using a cPCI Cirrus Logig adapter. We haven't been able to find a cause for this.
If you need a GPIB interface in a cPCI system, you might consider the PXI-GPIB. PXI fully compliant with the cPCI standard.

PCMCIA-GPIB Card with Linux ?

We would like to run LabVIEW + PCMCIA GPIB Card Ni-488.2 on a laptop under Linux. I know LabView provides a linux version, but we would need an appropriate driver for the PCMCIA-card. I found hints on a PCI-GPIB driver, but not for the PCMCIA version. Is there something available? We are currently running SuSE 7.0 on the laptop, but it would be no problem to switch to RH 7.1.

It is surprising to see that after all these years of expertise from NI, there is currently no way to have GPIB running on a Linux laptop.
NI provides no drivers for the two possible laptop solutions: USB or PCMCIA.
Given the widespread use of Linux in research labs, such a lack of support is rather disappointing. I can't imaging that writing such a driver would be more work than a computer science student project.
At least the basic communication/read/write functionalities with no polling and handshakes
Sincerely,
T. Misaridis, Ph.D

GPIB ENET/100 and PCMCIA GPIB+ pictures

Has anyone some pictures of GPIB ENET/100 and PCMCIA GPIB+ controllers
with a higher resolution than the pictures on the website?

Hi,
We don't have any other pictures available than the ones on the online datasheets. Is there something specific you want to know about a feature of this hardware?
I not, that maybe someone on the forum, that has the hardware available, can take a digital picture of it.

Differences between NI PCMCIA GPIB cards

I have a PCMCIA-GPIB+ card , part # 182826B-01
Q1 - Is this a 16-bit interface?
Q2 - Are the newer PCMCIA NI cards 32 bit?
Since some of the expresscard adapters only support 32bit PCMCIA cards, these are important questions.
Thanks

For all those wishing to use their 16 bit pcmcia gpib card in Express card slots, I have verified that the following vendor's card works beautifully without any new drivers.
Please search for ExpressCard 34 to PCMCIA PC CardBus 16/32-bit Read-Writer Express2PCC.
