PCMCIA-GPIB for MacOS
Chapter

Hardware and
Software Installation
This chapter contains instructions for installing your PCMCIA-GPIB
card and the NI-488.2 software for MacOS.
Install the PCMCIA-GPIB Hardware
To install the PCMCIA-GPIB in your computer, insert the
PCMCIA-GPIB card into a free PCMCIA socket the same way you
insert a disk into a floppy drive. The PCMCIA-GPIB has no jumpers or
switches to set, and you do not need to power down the system when
you insert it. The NI-488.2 software automatically detects the
PCMCIA-GPIB and configures it for use as a GPIB board. Figure 2-1
shows how to insert the PCMCIA-GPIB and how to connect the
PCMCIA-GPIB cable.
