Verify the Installation
This chapter describes how to verify the software installation. If you
encounter hardware problems, please refer to the
section in Appendix B,
The software diagnostic test,
ibtsta
, verifies that the NI-488.2 driver is
installed and functioning with the GPIB-ENET/100. If
ibtsta
fails, the
driver is either installed or configured incorrectly. Refer to Chapter 3,
, or Chapter 4,
, to verify your
configuration settings.
Follow these steps to run the software verification test.
1.
Ensure all GPIB cables are disconnected from the GPIB-ENET/100.
2.
Enter the full path to the GPIB software verification utility. The default
path is as follows:
<
Install Directory
>/ibtsta
If
ibtsta
completes without errors, the installation is complete and
you are ready to write your own application program.
3.
If
ibtsta
reports an error, restart your machine and run the test again.
If the test fails again, refer to the
Troubleshooting Software Problems
section in Appendix B,
Troubleshooting and Common Questions
, for
help resolving your problem.
