National Instruments — Driver488/NI/32 2.0

Overview

This package is installed automatically by the Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000 setup program.

Driver488/NI/32 will allow applications developed for use with National Instruments 32-bit IEEE488
interface driver (GPIB-32.dll) to communicate through the IOtech Personal488 line of interfaces.
32-bit Windows programming languages, including LabView for Windows, are supported.

The following Personal488 interfaces are supported:

IOtech Personal488
IOtech Personal488/AT
IOtech Personal488/ATpnp
IOtech Personal488/CARD
IOtech Personal488/MM
IOtech Personal488/PCI

The hardware I/O settings (port, interrupt, etc...) are stored in the registry. The Control Panel Applet takes
care of all configuration information.

Program Requirements

The following software is required:

•

 

Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000 Operating Systems

•

 

Driver488/W95 or /WNT

•

 

Application written to communicate through Gpib-32.dll.
