Hello,
A few more specifics would be helpful in further considering this issue:
0. What operating system are you using on your old PC (and what is the PC)?
1. What conversion device do you have which allows you to slot your PCMCIA card, and what driver software accompanies it?
2. What driver are you using that works alone with the instrument?
3. What driver do you install that causes the error after a few communications, and how are you using it (if at all)?
4. What is the error that you receive on the instrument screen?
5. If you have ever received a GPIB or VISA error in relation to this issue, what was it?
6. What version of NI-488.2 and NI-VISA do you have?
These details should help better define and narrow down possible reasons for the error.
Th
ank you,
Best Regards,
