Check Tables C-1 and C-2 to make sure that the factory default settings of your
GPIB-PCII/IIA board are the same as the values you entered when prompted by
the
IBDIAG
program. If they are not, run
IBDIAG
again, and enter the default
values when prompted. For instructions on running
IBDIAG
again, refer to
Appendix D, Interactive Software Installation.
If
IBDIAG
still returns an error message, one of the switches and jumpers on
your GPIB-PCII/IIA board may be configured to the same setting as another
board or device in your computer. Check the manuals of any other devices or
boards you are using to determine if they conflict with the configuration settings
of your GPIB-PCII/IIA board. If the manuals are not available, check Tables C-
3, C-4, and C-5 later in this appendix for possible conflicts.
If there is a conflict, you need to change the conflicting setting on either your
GPIB-PCII/IIA board or the other board or device and run
IBDIAG
again. To
change a hardware configuration setting on your GPIB-PCII/IIA board, follow
the instructions in the following section, Changing Hardware Configuration
Settings.
If you complete these instructions and
IBDIAG
still returns an error message,
complete the GPIB-PCII/IIA Hardware and Software Configuration Form in
Appendix E, Customer Communication, and contact National Instruments for
technical support.
Changing Hardware Configuration Settings
Complete the following steps to change the configuration settings of your GPIB-
PCII/IIA interface board.
Step 1. Configure the Hardware
Base I/O Address Selection
GPIB-PCII mode and GPIB-PCIIA mode use different regions of I/O address
space. By default, GPIB-PCII mode uses base I/O address 2B8 hex and GPIB-
PCIIA mode uses base I/O address 2E1 hex. To select a different base I/O
address for your GPIB-PCII/IIA, follow the instructions that pertain to the
GPIB-PC mode setting of your board.
