Not able to find the GpibDevEnum.dll

[e8d0b]

To start out, I am updating an application that was previously written in vb 6. I am adding a power analyzer to the application and some of the controls require the GpibDevEnum.dll. The path for the dll and dll name is listed in the references for my project, but when i go to the folder it is suppose to be in, it is not there. Is there a place where I can get the GpibDevEnum.dll from and load onto my system?

Thanks

Duplicate post, here's Dennis's and my replies from another duplicate thread.

Is this a LabVIEW project you are working on? You did post to the LabVIEW board. If it is, is this an external dll you have added to the LabVIEW project?

I could find no reference to that dll and I have the latest version of NI-GPIB installed. Does your project use an NI GPIB board or one from another vendor? What is the folder that it is supposed to be installed in?

Howdy e8d0b,

I couldn't find any reference to this DLL in our internal resources. The only search result I got on Google was a HijackThis log dump. However, the dump from 2007 did list the GpibDevEnum.dll last modification date as around 2000. Right now I'm checking to see if I can maybe find it in an older GPIB driver version.

In addition to Dennis's questions, I'm kind of curious as to what purpose the DLL served in the application. We more than likely a newer DLL that performs equivalent functions--assuming the DLL isn't from a third party.

Look forward to hearing from ya!

Hello,

I did some research and the dll has a list of commands associated with it that allow a certain Power Analyzer to communicate and transfer data from the Meter and then display it within the application. Since I have not had any luck with the dll thus far, I am looking at alternate methods that will allow the application to read the information that the Power Analyzer shows on screen.

Thanks

Howdy e8d0b,

You might also consider checking out the Instrument Driver Network to see if it has a handy driver for your instrument. We have instrument driver downloads for LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio for Visual Studio for various instruments.

e8d0b,

I wanted to ask again, too: What GPIB hardware do you use? I forgot to mention that I did find a reference to the GpibDevEnum.dll in an old USB-GPIB-A driver from 8 years ago.

Hello,

It is the GPIB=USB-HS Driver : version 2.2.0.3500

Thanks
