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!

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!

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.

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.

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

How do I get driver software for PCMCIA-GPIB card?

I have purchased a used card that has Windows/DOS software. How do I get driver software for Windows ME or Windows 2000?

That would depend on what you bought. Check with the manufacturer and see if they have the drivers you need.
We have some PCMCIA GPIB cards here from a manufacturer that does not support that card anymore. The only GPIB commands that I could get to work in LabVIEW were the old direct GPIB commands and even then, we had to rebuild a laptop with windoze 95.

DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:

On another machine (specs unknown, it's a "house pc") I got this (with 3 entries!):

(Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
Cheers,
Russ.

Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

Vista can not detect my graphic card ATI HD2600 on Satellite A210-128

Hallo,
Can someone help me with this issue?
I have a Toshiba Satellite A210-128 laptop with vista separately on DVD, but it seems that the dvd is damaged and I can not use it any more.
I have installed on my laptop a brand new Vista from the original DVD that Im using it on my desktop, but the problem is that vista can not detect my graphic card hd2600.
So Im stuck...... I tried to install the ati driver from the Toshiba update site but I get a error because ccc can not detect a graphic card ?????/
What to do????
It is something special with the DVD that i have from Toshiba ?????
Thank you very much.

The whole issue is really mysterious. In my opinion there are two options;
Either your have used and tried to install a wrong graphic driver or there is something wrong with your GPU chip.
Are you 100% that you tired an right graphic driver from the Toshiba European driver page?
If yes, then I recommend contacting the ASP in your country because this could be really an hardware issue.
Furthermore I found you second posting in other thread

and I think more and more that this must be an graphic card issue.

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.

HP DV5t 5-in-1 card reader does not detect my SD card

The 5-in-1 card reader slot of my HP dv5t was working fine until yesterday, and reading my Canon SD card perfectly. However, today upon inserting the card, the card reader is not detecting the SD card. The card doesn't even show up in my device manager. My SD card has no issues since it works perfectly fine on other laptops (I even tried it on another dv5t and it worked). My guess is that there is something wrong with the hardware, since the card doesn't get recognized by the reader even when I use it on Ubuntu. Can anyone please suggest any solution?
I tried contacting hp customer care and after an excrutiating wait of 1 hour or so I had to hang up - out of boredom. My laptop is under warranty but I am really pissed off with hp, I think hp laptops have some of the worst hardware. Also, it takes ages until you can speak to a customer care executive. Can someone please help me? If hp were to give me 70-80% of my money back I would happily swap hp for a T61 or even a Dell!

I'm having the same exact problem on my dv5z. I even tried downloading and reinstalling the drivers, but it appears to be a hardware issue. I had a similar problem with my wireless card early on and I think it may be a build quality problem. Any suggestions other than dealing with sending the unit in for repair?

NI PCMCIA-GPIB card and PowerBook G3?

I need to set up a GPIB test system, and my options for a controller are
an old 386 machine with DOS(!), or a Powerbook G3.
Does anyone here have experience using NI's PC-Card GPIB interface in a
Powerbook G3? The Labview docs say it's supported, I just wonder if it is
fully supported. Thanks in advance for your help.
I jusk _knew_ I shouldn't have given that old HP-85 to charity...

Greg,
Have you used the PCMCIA/GPIB card with any other Mac programming
language? FutureBasic claims to support the NI drivers on NI's PCI and
NuBus cards.
Thanks,

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 not detecting PCI 6259 connected to BNC 2120

I have the DAQmx driver 9.0.2
I have the card (PCI 6259) in a windows XP machine
The breakout box is a BNC 2120
MAX does not detect any devices and interfaces.
Thanks for any help,
Fmiles

Does your device show up in Device Manager under data acquisition devices? If not than it is not being recognized by the computer and you should try moving PCI slots on the card. If it does not show up under data acquisition devices, right click on it and select uninstall, restart the computer and it should install on its own again.
Was the card installed during the DAQmx install, try reseating the card.
Make sure the NI Device Loader Service is started in Control panel»Administration»Services. It should be set to started and automatic.
Does DAQmx 9.0.2 appear under Software in the Configuration Pane of Measurement and Automation Explorer, if not, it may not have installed correctly.

Win XP does not detect onboard ethernet card

Hi,
i have bought a used T41 (2373-tg5) and installed XP Pro SP3.
I have installed all the drivers and everything is working fine. The only problem i have, is the fact, that XP does not detect my onboard 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN card. It does not show up in the device manager and manually searching for new hardware is to no use.
I have also looked at the BIOS config, the onboard ethernet card is listed as being "enabled". I am sure, there was a device marked with a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager named "ethernet adapter" once. I am not sure, wether this was the WLAN card, i have successfully installed a driver for...it is completely gone now though...
Is this some weird XP thing? I thought, i had read something like this once, but cannot remember.

cnhoff, wilkommen im Forum,
when you enter BIOS the MAC address of the internal LAN card should be shown at the bottom, is it showing a number or is it all zeros? All zeros means that there is no LAN installed which would mean in your case a new mainboard or using a pcmcia LAN card.

Dv9810us after recovery windows will not detect the wireless card that is bulit into the computer.

After running the recovery (Vista 32) from the recovery partition my computer no longer sees the Wifi card installed.
There is nothing in device manager, the hp wireless wizard doesn't detect anything. I went to HP's site and download the 3 different wifi drivers that it would be and installed them. I can not rememeber what the adapter was.,. thats a problem.
This system was a refurbed unit when I bought it, if the salesman was correct it was recalled because of a faulty Wireless card. I wonder if they replaced the card with one that the restore partition installation could not detect.
Any ideas?

first make sure the wifi is turned on either by a switch located on the front of keyboard or a soft touch icon near the display.. if you have the soft touch make sure it's blue in color if its orange its turned off
