Does anyone know of an ArcNet driver for LabView or LabWindows/CVI?

[Rob Cole]

What are you using for an Arcnet card? I have a set of DLL's and Labview VI's for a COM20020 based PCX20 or PCI20 card from Contemporary Controls (and have sent them to the resource library).

I am using a PCA66 board from Contemporary Controls which uses the COM90C66 controller IC. I cannot find the submissions by Rob Cole in the Resource Library.

Unfortunately, We built the dll's around the COM20020 drivers that come with the PCX/PCI/PCM 20 cards. After checking with Contemporary Controls, we've found that the dll does not work with other drivers. I will send the library so you can see what we did, but I doubt that it will work "as is". I hope you can get something up and running.

In looking at your VI, I get an error message for your DLL calls that it cannot find ordinal 3220 in MFCO42D.DLL. You may have a different version of the MFCO42D.DLL. Also, I am using Win2000. Thanks for the help. I will try to work thru this and see what happens.

Yes, we tried WIN2000 and found that all of our Arcnet stuff did not work with it. We are using the Null Stack driver and WIN2000 does not allow a null stack driver to be loaded. We decided to stick with Win NT instead of re-writing a decade's worth of software.

Here is the libraries that we created. I hope they can help out.

Hi Rob,

I am a new user on this discussion forum and offer a
heartfelt hello to all on the forum!

I have been trying to find labview VIs/drivers that will allow me
to communicate with a PCI20 Arcnet card from Contemporary Controls.
So i was very pleased to see that you made available your Com20020 files for use.
I have tried using these files and after searching on the net and loading updated versions of the following files: MFC42D.DLL; MSVCRTD.DLL; MFCO42D.DLL i get the following error message when loading any of the VIs: " The ordinal 5084 could not be located in the dynamic link library MFC42D.DLL?"
Within labview i also get a related message: "the operating system cannot run %1"

I am using Labview 7.1 on an Windows XP operating system.
I hope you can help.

Many thanks
