PC-GPIB card with 0.8.2 drivers in Linux

I have a PCI-GPIB card and I am trying to install it in a computer with Suse 8.0. I run the INSTALL script and the driver compiles but it doesn't detect the card and when it is called it gives the following errors:

Hello-
These actually look like linking errors. It appears that the compiler is not linking in the proper libraries when linking the program to create the driver. google.com or SUSE could probably give more help about how to overcome these errors. Try doing a search for +pci_read_config_word +"unresolved symbol" on google.com. There is probably a library that the compiler should be linking, but it is not configured properly.

  • 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

  • Audigy 2 card with Audigy 2 ZS drivers and Live Driv

    I recently bought a Li've!Dri'veII bay for my system. To use this I plugged it into my Audigy 2 Value card which I have had for about 2 years. The bay came bundled with a SoundBlaster Li've! Platinum.
    I tried to install my drivers, but as a Platinum, but the Bay still did not respond, didnt send anything out or receive a signal in. There is definitely power because when I plug in the headphones you can hear some white noise, but thats it.
    I searched round for a solution and one was to install the Audigy 2 ZS drivers. I did this by following the following instructions:
    http://driverheaven.net/showthread.php?s&threadid=45004
    This allowed me to also enable lots of extras such as the THX console and other stuff previously unused as my Audigy 2 drivers didnt have them.
    Now I have 2 problems:
    ) my Li've!Dri'veII Bay isn't working and
    2) In games I get sound glitches such as random noises that shouldnt be there, Missing noises such as gunshots are not heard or parts of the noise are missing.
    So what do I need to do to sort this out, because I do wish to be able to use my system to its full potential.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    David,
    If you go into the surround mixer or Windows mixer do you see a listing for the front panel inputs (line in2/mic in2, Aux 2, etc)? If so, are any of them muted? If you go to start/programs/Creative/SB Audigy/Audio HQ/Device Settings, do you show a headphone tab? If so what options are enabled in there?
    Double check your ribbon cable connection and maybe even swap sides of the cable.

  • Communicate by NI-GPIB card with an instrument that was designed especially for HP-GPIB

    I have an instrument (Data Link Test Set by Apogee Labs) that has GPIB interface and a book of commands.
    I have a NI-488.2 card and I try to send commands with the MAX. The device is identified but it respond to the commands by blinking its display and strange hex answer.
    The manufacturer said they have no problem like that, but they tested their GPIB interface only with a HP card and not NI card. This is a big problem for me, because it's all part of a deal, and the customer want to have it with NI.
    What possible solutions do I have in order to communicate this instrument with NI card, though it was designed only for HP card.

    Hi Toti,
    GPIB and HPIB are the same thing. They are different names for the IEE 488.2 communication standard. The 488.2 specification is an extension of 488.1 and it is backwards compatible. IEEE 488.2 uses the same electrical specs and low-level states machines. You are probably refering to IEEE 488.1 as HPIB.
    IEEE 488.2 defines a set of required commands. MAX uses the ID query command *IDN? to retrieve the instrument ID string. With a non-488.2 compliant instrument the interface is capable of sending and receiving information to the device, but in the particular case of the MAX 'scan for instruments' option the instrument won't recognize the *IDN?. This is way you are getting a error message in the instrument. In MAX you are detecting the instrument
    , but it says that it didn't respond to the *IDN? query.
    To test the device, review the instrument's documentation and determine the ID query command (if any). It might be something like 'ID?'. Then use the MAX 'communicate with instrument' utility or the interactive control (ibic) to send the correct command to the instruments.
    The botton line: you should be able to communicate with this instrument.

  • PCI-GPIB Card with Visual Basic gives blue screen and re-boots PC

    The application makes the "ibsic" call then "ibln" to find devices on the bus. Running the VB program the first time is fine, but if you end the program and re-run a second time, you get a blue screen and the PC reboots when the program reaches the lines that make the first call to the NI-488 functions. If you close out of VB and then restart VB, everything is OK again.
    What is wrong?

    Hi,
    Here's an article that describes the most common blue screen when using VB:

  • 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...

  • [ANSWERED] Fan speed on HD4890 with open source ATI drivers?

    Hi everyone.
    Is it possible to control the fan speed of my HD4890 card with the opensource ATI drivers (xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-radeonhd)?
    My HD4890 fan is really loud with both for no apparent reason (the temp is not THAT high). The fan is silent with the fglrx driver as well as on Windows 7.
    Greets,

    Sorry to dig that out. It's possible now.
    You need the xf86-video-ati-git from aur.
    Add the two options in xorg.conf to your device section
    Option "ForceLowPowerMode" "true"
    Option "DynamicPM" "true"
    If you have the git drivers installed you can check the man page for what exactly this two options do. With the xf86-video-ati my fan was always blowing at 100%, which is quite annoying especially for a laptop.
    With this two options from the git driver it is better. Not as silent as on windows but much better than before.
    I don't know what happens, when it gets suddenly load, from a game or something though.

  • How to use a GPIB card's LabView drivers to communicate with the card?

    I have an axiomtek AX4810P PCI-GPIB card and i have aquired LabView drivers from the manufacturer.
    This has put VI's for the GPIB functions on the 'user palette' but i can't work out how to use them to communicate with the card. can anyone help? please.

    LS,
    Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
    Unfortunately, since you are not using a National Instruments GPIB card, I do not have access to the drivers that were provided to you by your card's manufacturer. I would suggest contacting Axiomtek directly to obtain support using their drivers.
    However, I did write a small VI that demonstrates how to use similar National Instruments drivers with a National Instruments GPIB card. Keep in mind, this example VI is not intended to work with your particular card. The drivers you obtained from Axiomtek may have similar functions, however, and you can use my VI as a guide. My VI allows you to send a command to an instrument at address 2 on the GPIB card.
    Hope this helps!

  • Are drivers same for old & new ISA GPIB cards

    Hi,
    I have some 5 YEAR old AT-GPIB ISA type cards (have copyright 1995 written on them). They are installed & work fine on NT. I don't have the installation disks for the original drivers. To get these cards working on win 2000, exactly which driver(s) do I need & where can I get them - there seems to be a few versions of similar GPIB drivers on the NI website, all with different installation guidelines.
    Also, if I buy NEW ISA card (as a backup for the 5 year old cards) will any drivers installed for these old cards work with the new card? (I would hope to avoid the installion of new drivers if the card must be replaced in future). My limited reading on ni.com suggests that my old cards need driver NI-488.2 for Windows, revision 1.7, while I;m concerned that any new cards would demand install newer drivers.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated.
    All the best,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    Thanks for your post regarding which driver you should install to get your AT-GPIB card working on Windows 2000. The best driver for you to use would be NI-488.2 version 2.3. You can download this from the following link. This is the latest version of the driver but still supports the AT-GPIB card.
    http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/74B5B3FF1122C90F86256F4F00781783?opendocument&node=132060_US
    With regards to your query about new ISA cards, we no longer sell ISA cards and therefore if you were to buy a backup for your cards you would have to either go for PCI, PXI, USB or PCMCIA as your bus type. For the newest products you are correct that you would have to have the latest drivers installed, at the moment you would be OK as the latest GPIB driver still supports your existing cards, but sometime in the future we will probably bring out new cards that require another version of the driver, and that version may not support your existing cards.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards,

  • Computer won't boot with PCI-GPIB card installed

    I'm running a windows XP system with Labview 7.1 installed. I have installed the GPIB drivers, but when I insert my PCI-GPIB card, the computer will not boot(it freezes before the POST). I'm running a Shuttle "MK40VN" KM400 Chipset Motherboard.

    Well, nevermind, I just verified that the card is in fact fried.

  • I have problems with pci-gpib card under windows me, What I need to know what to do in order to fix this problems?

    Hi, I have installed a pci-gpib card in my computer, I have a problem with
    installation, the message of troubleshooting wizard is as follow:
    "One or more missing GPIB interfaces.
    There are several reasons why you might encounter this problem:
    Reason: Your GPIB interface is incorrectly installed.
    Solution: Please verify that your GPIB interface is correctly installed
    and rerun the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard.
    Reason: You are using a non-Plug-and-Play interface (e.g., AT-GPIB/TNT,
    GPIB-PCII/IIA, GPIB-ENET) and you did not use the Add New Hardware Wizard
    to add the interface to your system properly.
    Solution: Click th
    e Add Hardware button and the Add GPIB Hardware wizard
    will guide you through the process of adding GPIB hardware.
    Reason: For the GPIB-USB and GPIB-1394, the host controller (USB or 1394)
    must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
    Solution: Click on the System Details button for details about the USB and
    1394 host controllers.
    Reason: For the PCMCIA-GPIB and PCMCIA-GPIB+, the PCMCIA host controller
    must be working properly in order to use the GPIB interface.
    Solution: Use the Windows Device Manager to verify that your PCMCIA host
    controller is functioning correctly. Start the control panel by selecting
    "Start>>Settings>>Control Panel", open the System icon and select the
    Device Manager page. If you select "View devices by type", you can look at
    the PCMCIA socket properties to ensure it is correctly enabled."
    And on system details the message is the next:
    "USB Driver type: USB universal host controller"
    "This version of windows does not su
    pport IEEE 1394."
    I am using Windows Me, so i want to know what i need to do to fix this
    problems.
    Best regards.

    If you have a PCI-GPIB card, you needn't worry about the USB port or whether or not Windows ME supports 1394. All you need in NI-488.2 version 1.70 from National Instruments. Install this driver and then insert your card. Windows should detect the card and find the proper driver.
    If this did not happen in the proper sequence, look in the device manager and see if the card was installed as an "other device". If this happens, remove the card in the device manager and have windows redetect it. If this is not a solution, you may consider the ask an engineer page at www.ni.com/ask. Provide as many details as possible.

  • 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.

  • I've got a GPIB card from hewlett Packard to use with a HP4263A LCR meter

    I've got a GPIB card from hewlett Packard to use with a HP4263A LCR meter, I am trying to use NIDAQ to get the data in labview,but the card is not detected, what can I do? I am using an AT-MIO-16E card and a PC-DIO 32 card, installed by another developer, I just would like to get the device working again, but I do not have any experience with labview.

    Hello;
    It's not clear from what exact device you are willing to get data. By what I understood from your e-mail, you are intending to get data from the HP GPIB board. If that is the case, you don't need NI-DAQ. You will probably be better of by contacting HP and ask then for the Labview driver for that GPIB board.
