How do I change the Base Address on a pci pnp gpib card?

I am trying to use 2 cards in a pc to run Fluke Metcal. I believe that metcal needs the base addresses of the cards to be 210 and 220 hex. How do I set this on the pci pnp cards? I can't seem to find it in any of the properties. How do you find out what the base address is curently set to?

This is not supported with PnP PCI-GPIB cards. PCI does not have the same addressing scheme as the ISA bus. I don't know of a way to map addresses from an IO address to a PCI address.

This functionality will only be fully supported with our non-PnP AT-GPIB/TNT cards. You should see if Fluke has updated software that does not depend on these base addresses.
