GPIB error

[douglas_dou]

Hi all,

I just got the labVIEW 5.1 for our lab together with a PIC-GPIB board. I
tried to install the GPIB board into my computer. It seems that everything
is OK during the installation process. But when I started the so-called "NI
488-2(GPIB) Getting Started Wizard", it was said that software presence
verified,hardware presence verified, while GPIB interfaces Sequentially
Verification can not be completed. After I reinstalled the hardware and the
software, the problem still existed. Would you please shed a light on my
problem if you happen to know the answer? Thanks.

Best,
Douglas

thats pretty odd, you may have an irq conflict. Try placing the GPIB card
into a different PCI slot.

Do you have any GPIB instrument connected while you run the test? I had the
same problem, and it worked fine when I dissconnected my oscilloscope.

Douglas,

Did you ever solve this problem? I am having the same problem and I am at a loss as to how to solve it. I don't have any instruments connected to the GPIB board and I am pretty sure there are no resource conflicts. I have re-installed both the software and the GPIB board. I have tested other working GPIB boards in the computer (and I get the same problem) and I have tested my GPIB board in other computers (with no problems) so I know the board is not the problem. Any advice on how you solved the problem?

Hi Douglas,

you discribed the exact same problems that i have. Do you have a solution for that problem? I connected the NI support in germany without success.

I've seen this problem occasionally when we've done some upgrades. What I've noticed is that if I go into MAX, I've seen two GPIB devices listed. To fix the problem, we've deleted both interfaces in MAX, removed the card and driver software from the computer, and then reinstalled the software and card when MAX showed everything was clean. good luck.
