Sample Configuration for the PCMCIA-GPIB Card
Figure 2-4 shows a possible configuration for the PCMCIA-GPIB card.
The Auto Configure box is selected by default and assigns
gpib0
(bus number 0) to the appropriate socket. The socket boxes, located in
the upper right corner of the NI-488 Config dialog box, are labeled L
and U for the lower and upper slots. If an
X
does not appear in a socket
box, follow the instructions in the section Verify the Hardware
Installation, in Chapter 3, Installation Verification, to verify that the
card is operating correctly.
Step 3. Restart Your Macintosh
The NI-488.2 driver is installed every time you start or restart your
Macintosh. The NI-488.2 software displays the National Instruments
icon momentarily in the lower left corner of the screen to indicate that
the driver is being installed. If the National Instruments icon does not
appear on your screen, repeat the installation procedure before you
proceed to the next chapter, Installation Verification.
