Can I program GPIB-PCI with Borland Turbo C under Windows 98?

[LPalmer]

I'm hoping to program a GPIB-PCI card with Borland Turbo C/C++ on a Windows 98 machine.  I've downloaded the example900255 code and it compiles fine, but I get a "DOS error" when I try to run any of the three example TurboC programs.

Do I also need to have a driver installed? If so, is there a driver that will support this hardware/software combo?

Thanks.

LPalmer--

You will need the NI-488.2 driver for a National Instruments PCI-GPIB.  When you install this driver, it will also give you some option for added support such as ANSCI C, .NET, etc.  This should install added examples as noted by the following KnowledgeBase.

KnowledgeBase 47CCSQ5B: NI-DAQmx, NI-VISA and NI-488.2 .NET Example Locations

LPalmer,

The latest release that works with PCI-GPIB in Windows 98 is Version 2.2.

Under Windows, the DOS support is NOT enabled by default. You need to enable DOS Support.

Once DOS Support is enabled, you should be able to use the Borland Turbo C/C++ on a Windows 98 machine without any problems.

Hope this information helps!
