We experience an unacceptable high failure rate with 777073-01 GPIB cards.
31 PC's using WIN-NT and with only one application (Borland C++)running, are in operation on 8 different locations since 2000. Since Januari 2005 de cards start to fail and today the number of failures is 8.
The application freezes since communication with IEEE instruments is no longer possible. Using NiMax.exe I noticed that the embedded serialnumber in the GPIB card is missing.
Once a new card is installed, all is well.
The application runs full time and any down time causes great problems. The servicecost are rising beyond expectations aswell. W'd like to recieve a sollution. Four faulty 777073-01 cards are at your disposel for investigation.
Many thanks for your reply.
