GPIB-USB-HS - Win 10 - Driver delays the cyclic commands longer and longer

Hello,
for many years we have successfully used the USB-GPIB adapter from NI ("NI GPIB-USB-HS+") under Win-7.
Since the recent change to Win-10 we now have the problem that the driver delays the cyclic commands more and more with time.

 

General conditions:

  • Change from Win-7 to Win-10
  • We use the HW-Adapter together with the software "CANoe (11SP4)" from "vector" (both before and now).
  • In this CANoe runs a script, with which cyclically the voltage and the current from the power supply is queried (each 200ms alternating).
  • Additionally every 5s a new voltage is sent async to the power supply.
  • The error becomes visible after approx. 5 minutes by the fact that the voltage at the power supply unit is not changed immediately, but the longer the sequence is active the larger the difference becomes.
  • After 1 hour there is already a delay of about 30s between setting a new voltage and the actual change of the voltage.
  • As a workaround, the voltage query is currently deactivated: This way the problem can be delayed a lot.
  • It seems that in the SW-GPIB driver a queue is built up when too many and too fast commands come.
  • And the SW-GPIB driver is the only thing that has changed in this respect.
  • The NI driver under Win-7 was installed 3-4 years ago and has not been updated.
  • The current driver is "21.5.0.49307" from "Sat 15. 1. 2022".

Do you know the problem and maybe even the solution?

Thanks a lot!

Dear  GPIB-Poweruser,

 

What are your pc's parameters? The problem might be the resources the OS uses.
