Hi NuwanA,

 

Has the NI GPIB-USB-A worked previously?

 

If you purchased this product from NI, it should come with our service pack. You can reach NI support at 866-275-6964 to help you further with the issue.

Dear Mr.Sarahmo

 

Thanks for your kind attention on my problem.

This controller is much older and i used it for first time.Service pack is not available now.

Can you confirm that this is not supported by NI 488.2 17.5 and 18.5 versions??.

Does it need more additional software??

 

Tks & Rgds

According the the 488.2 17.5 Readme, it does not support the GPIB-USB-A.

 

We do not have earlier drivers available online to download. If you need an earlier driver, you will need to contact NI support.
