PCI-GPIB, 488.2 not working on my G5 OS10.4 with LabVIEW 7.1?

I've followed the intstructions posted this summer from ScottieB for installing NI-488.2 v2.3 on my Mac G5 with OS 10.4.2. (See for example message id=13246). It seems that the driver is now installed correctly, but the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard fails. The first of three tests passes, i.e., the NI-488.2 Software Presence Verified, but the next one fails. The hardware is not detected apparently. The hardware is a new PCI-GPIB.
ScottieB, or anyone else have any advice?
Thanks for your time.
Sean

Sean,
That's odd...I know you said it's a new card, but could you confirm that it works okay in another machine? PC or Mac? (10.3 might be better if you have one of those around so you don't have to go through all the Tiger steps, just load NI-488.2 v2.3 up and it should "just work"). There is the issue of potentially needing a firmware update, but the troubleshooting wizard should alert you to that fact if it is necessary (again, don't run the firmware update on Tiger, bad things happen).
Let me know.

HP 3478A DMM not seen with PCI/GPIB 488.2

Hi All,
I'm really new at this so watch out... I have an old 3478A which is compliant with the old HP-IB (GPIB) connector and I'm trying to communicate with it using a PCI/GPIB 488.2 card. I found some drivers for Labview and that's wonderful but it simply doesn't work. The automation explorer also doesn't see the device. What am I doing wrong? I read somewhere that you have to enable some old drivers but I the message was somewhat unclear now I'm just desperate. Please help someone.
OS : win XP
Labview: 7.1
thanks

It is possible the cable is faulty. The cables I am using are National Instruments 763061-02 RevC; Type-X2. These cables work on all of the instruments I am using. Check the configuration of your GPIB Card, I have provided screen captures of my current settings that are working for me.
1. As before use the Measurement and Automation Explorer to get to the GPIB Bus under devices.
2.Right click on the GPIB Bus and select properties, you should see the following screen.
3. Click the Configure and on the next screen click Software>> button to see all of the options.
Try these settings(I have not made any changes these should be Default).

How can i change the voltage of my power supply using my pci gpib 488.2 driver?

I need to be able to control the voltage outputed by the power supply. I have a pci gpib 488.2 and I downloaded the correct driver. I also don't no exactly how to use the communicator included in the measurement and automation explorer. When ever I type in the commands I get an error. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
thank you

First see if you can establish communications with the power suppy using Meas and Automation explorer (MAX for short). If you can find your GPIB card in the directory tree choose it and then use the scan for instruments tool. If it can see your power supply it will give you it's address. Choose it and try the Communicate with my instrument tool. It will send a IDN? command to that address and it might return a string if the instrument understands the command. If not you will need to dig through the power supply manual to find the correct commands.
Using LabVIEW 2010SP1 and TestStand 4.5

PCI-GPIB does not like returning from computer power-save mode. I need to restart the application. Uggh! Customer not happy.

It seems volatile memory is lost on the PCI GPIB Card. When the system returns from power-save, I cannot get to my GPIB instruments. I have to close the application and restart it. I've tried unregistering and reregistering the gpib globals and resetting the device interfaces (reissuing the ibdev command) without luck. I am using Visual Basic 6, but I also get the Measurement and Automation Explorer to fail in the same way, so I don't think it is my development environment.

Can you change your power save settings? What operating system
are you running?
Also, some BIOS's have options for power save. For example, recent
IBM's can be set to maintain power to all peripherals, or only to main
memory. Of course, you would want it to maintain power.
I suspect the GPIB board and its driver are completely unable to
handle power save operation. It probably was never considered while
it was being designed.

Test sequences not working in standard prototype adaptor with Execute Steps in process

Test sequences not working in standard prototype adaptor with "Execute Steps in process" but the sequences works in "Execute steps in an External instance of CVI"(Debug mode). Pl help with solution
Apriciate your help
Regards,
Sharanu

Sharanu,
Thanks for contacting National Instruments. It would help us out a lot if you could specify exactly what is not working. Will the sequence just not run? Is it giving you an error message? Or what exactly does not work about it? The initial thing that I could think of that would make it not work in External Instance but not using the RunTime Engine is that you might be missing a support library when trying to run it in this configuration. If you click on the "Configure Auto-Loading of Support Libraries Needed for Linking .objs and .libs" button, you can make sure that all the support libraries you might be using are added in this list (you can add them using the "Add Other Libraries..." button). If this does not fix your problem, then let us know a litt
le more about what is going on and we can help you from there. Thanks.

Take it to an Apple Store and see about getting an out of warranty replacement. I believe it will run you about $150.

I bought iphone 5c 4-5 days back from india and today back button of this phone not working, i am totally dissatisfy with the apple service support. i want replacement

(i bought iphone 5c 4-5 days back from india and today back button of this phone not working, i am totally dissatisfy with the apple service support. i want replacement.)
Hello i am nitin from india, i purchased a iphone5c because i heard that iphone comes with a great coustmer service, but this statment becomes totally wrong today, when i faced coustmer executive at service center of iphone then he said that i have to check it out and it may be a physical damage, ( how it is possible even i carried this phone with anti shock cover guard and its never fall down from my hand.) the simple thing i know that i want my phone replaced, otherwise it would be a great mistake of my life to purchase an iphone.

Rusher dominance is not working on my iPad 1 with iOS 5.1.1 .Can anybody tell me it's reason ? If there's any reason please tell me how to fix it

Rusher dominance is not working on my iPad 1 withies 5.1.1 please tell me it's reason the same problem is with many other games e.g. Acr drift and highway rally.

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

i have the i phone four and just uploaded to my computer and now it will not work has the apple logo with a long oval bar under it

It may be that it is stuck loading. You will want to probably first attempt a Hard Reset (Home Button + Power Button for 5-10s until it restarts with an Apple Logo then let it load up) and see if this will get it working.

I have this same exact problem. I'd rather not disable USB 2.0, because I use it to transfer files to my MP3 player when in Windows.
I find it hard to "blame the BIOS" when it was working fine under kernel 2.6.7. Anyone know of another solution?
EDIT: Well it isn't the same "exact" problem. When I first boot into Arch, the usb mouse and keyboard don't work. I press and hold the power button on the machine to restart. The second time I boot into Arch, the usb devices do work. If I do a standard soft reboot and go back into Arch, the usb devices again don't work. I guess this is a hotplugging issue, but enabling it in rc.conf does nothing. The only permanent solution I can find is disabling USB 2.0 in the BIOS.

HELP!!!!! 915GM Speedster-FA4 PCIe x1 slot not working - SORTED

Hi, I am at my whit’s end with this motherboard, I cannot get the PCIe x1 slot to work. When I use the PCIe x16 slot it recognises the option card OK but the x1 slot will just not see it.
I know the network socket 1 needs to active for the PCIe x1 slot to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
SORTED - IRQ clash with the onboard boot ROM for Lan socket 2 - NOT DOCUMENTED - MSI PLEASE TAKE NOTE

Sorry there is no MSI in here....
It seems that nobody used that config to be able to help.
And no, I'm not from MSI either

GPIB-ENET not working in Windows NT 4.0

I have a GPIB-ENET device and I want to configure it with Windows NT4.0 I
have install everything like it is said in the NI web site and everything
seems to be fine. When I try to talk to the instruments with Win32
Interactive Control (IBIC) it works.
I have created an application (In Visual C++ and the ComponentWorks++) to
communicate with the GPIB device wich work perfecly on Windows 98, and I
have a VI who also works well with Windows 98 but none of them works on
Windows NT4.0. When I connect to the GPIB device I use "GPIB0::2::INSTR" as
the address of the GPIB instruments and it work with win98, but doesn't with
NT.
I can see the GPIB-ENET device but where or how can I see the instruments
that are pluged i
n the GPIB-ENET? What are there connection string
"GPIB0::????"
Is the problem in my application or in the configuration of Windows NT?
Anybody had this problem?
thanks in advance
[email protected]

I has similar problem before update GPIB-ENET driver to version 1.2, On some
systems with NT4 downgrade VISA 2.6 to VISA 2.5 may help - from old CDs for
LV5.1
