Common Questions
This section describes how to troubleshoot problems and answers some common
questions. Also refer to Appendix B,
Common Errors and Their Solutions
, of the
NI-488.2M Software Reference Manual
.
What could be causing a problem if the installation process fails?
The most probable reason is that the GPIB-SCSI-A is at a different SCSI Target
ID than what you entered during installation. Reinstall using the correct ID.
What is wrong if ibfind returns a –1?
The driver may not be installed correctly or the nodes may not have been created
when the driver was loaded. Try removing and reinstalling NI-488.2 from the CD.
