I am running DOS version 2.7.2 for AT-GPIB/TNT. I have errors with ibdiag and ibtest .

[Amit]

I have a AT-GPIB/TNT board on my computer. I am using the NI488.2 software for DOS. I am running this on a Windows 95 platform in DOS.

Right now I am checking the software to test the hardware and the software. When I run ibdiag it first detects one board and then I get errors saying :

1. Make sure the GPIB cables are disconnected.
2. The base address does not match the address in the ni-pnp.ini file.
3. Another board or device is using the same address space. Try using a different I/O address and run the hardware diagnostic program.

For error # 1 I ensured that GPIB cables are disconnected. I dont' know what to do about error # 2 and 3. I have been
using the same software and the board in the previous machine which was DOS based and it gave me no problems. I have only one board in the machine. I tried changing the base address in the ibconf utility also but it didnt' help.

When I try to run ibtest it hangs in between .

ni-pnp.exe is running without any problems.

gpibinfo is also running without any problems.

With this info please let me know where the error could be .

Install NI-488.2M software for Win95. As I remember there must be
a switch (checkbox) in the Control Panel | System | Gpib, which
will enable DOS support in the virtual DOS machine.
