LabView and Keithley PC488-Card

[Michael.Buettner]

Hi,

I hope somebody can solve my problem: I have a Keithley PC<>488
GPIB-Interface installed and want to get it work with LabView. There are
compatibility-drivers shipped with the interface, but they don't work.
The driver is installed, but I can't communicate (through LabView) with
the PC488.
My System runs under Windows NT. I can exclude hardware conflicts,
because under DOS (test programs that come with pc488) communication
works.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael

I have had the same problem.
My keithley card is an old XT slot card
This card is a CEC card .
On http://www.cec488.com/gpibupgd.htm you
can download the driver to
simulate an NI-Gpib card.
Than you must install the driver with ADD new Hardware , Find Capital
Equipment Corp. etc.

THe LAbview GPIB.vi works fine.

Michael,

I am currently having the same exact problem.
PC<>488 board, Windows 95/98, Laview.
Labview cannot identify the interface. Did the suggestion below work.
