We have bought several GPIB cards and installed driver 2.6, and I also installed the driver on my computer too. After installation, I got some questions:
1. After installation, under the path folder "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C", there are three subfolders: include, lib32, and lib64.
1) What is the difference between ni488.h, and ni4882.h? In my software, I choose include "decl-32.h", but I can also choose include "ni4882.h", right?
2) Under the path folder "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C\lib32\msvc", there are two lib files "gpib-32.lib" and "ni4882.lib". Is there any
difference for user between these two lib files?
3) How about lib32 and lib64?
2. Is the GPIB 2.6 compatible with its former version, V1.7, V2.4, and V2.5?
3. Why did our system become much slower after we change the GPIB card from driver 1.7 to driver 2.6 in Windows XP? Even after I changed the GPIB related lib and include files?
BTW, our lab PC is Optiplex 760, Core 2 Duo Dell E7500/2.93GHz, 3M, 1066MHz, FSB, with Windows XP SP3.
Can we make the timeout to be 0? how?
