Verify the Installation
This chapter describes how to verify the hardware and software
installation.
You can use the Diagnostic utility, installed with your GPIB software,
to test the hardware and software installation. The utility verifies that
your hardware and software are functioning properly and that the
configuration of your GPIB interfaces does not conflict with anything
else in your system.
To run the utility, select the Diagnostic item under Start»Programs»
GPIB Software for Windows 95.
When you have started the Diagnostic utility, test your GPIB interfaces
by clicking on the Test All button. If the Diagnostic is successful, it puts
a checkmark next to the interface and changes its status from untested
to passed. If the Diagnostic fails, it puts an X next to the interface and
changes its status from untested to failed. Figure 3-1 shows the
Diagnostic utility after it has tested some GPIB interfaces.
Figure 3-1. Diagnostic Utility after Testing
You can get details on any tested GPIB interface by selecting the
interface and clicking on the Details button. For each failed GPIB
interface, select it and click on the Details button to get a description of
the failure. Use that information and the information in Appendix B,
Troubleshooting and Common Questions
, to troubleshoot the problem.
