PXI-GPIB/PMC-GPIB for Windows NT

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 Diagnostic 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 Diagnostic utility, select the Diagnostic item under
Start»Programs»GPIB Software.
After you start the Diagnostic utility, test your GPIB interfaces by clicking
on the Test All button. If the Diagnostic utility test is successful, it puts a
checkmark next to the interface and changes its status from untested to
passed. If the Diagnostic utility test fails, it puts an X next to the interface,
and changes its status from untested to failed. Figure 3-1 shows the
Diagnostic dialog box after it has tested some GPIB interfaces. The
PXI-GPIB and PMC-GPIB boards appear as PCI-GPIB.
