Operating a PCI-GPIB with Matlab (on Redhat Linux)

[benderan]

Hi,

Has anyone had any luck operating a GPIB-PCI  (NI 488.2) in Matlab R2008a (on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5)?  I can communicate to the temperature monitor I'm trying to read out using the gpibintcntrl program (I'm able to get the temperatures & date etc), but matlab cannot detect the GPIB driver.  For example, in matlab if I query 

g=gpib('ni',0,4)   

??? The specified VENDOR adaptor could not be found.

and if I look at 

instrhwinfo('gpib')

ans =

         InstalledAdaptors: {1X0 cell}

           JarFileVersion: 'Version 2.6.0'

I know that the driver I installed is a beta version, but thought maybe someone had encountered the same problem. 

Has anyone used this driver under LabView (I'll be getting a labview license tomorrow)?

Hi,

Thanks for your post.  Before I can answer your question, I'll need a little bit more information from you.  Which version of NI-488.2 are you using?  Have you ever been able to detect the GPIB driver in your code?   Have a great day!

Regards,
