Hello,
I have a new PC (Win7, 64 bit) with a new PCI-E GPIB card and NI-VISA 14.0 (latest). I can't get the card to 'do' anything - it won't pass the troubleshooting self test, or scan for instruments, and the ibfind command in Interactive control does nothing (they all 'hang' no error reported). This is happening with two identical machines, each with the PCI-E card. My test machine from 6 monts ago works fine, but that is 32 bit and has a different firmware/chipset from the vendor (which was unexpected, we ordered the same model, but the vendor seems to think it's so minor they kept the model the same number).
Any ideas on what steps to take? I've downgraded NI-VISA a couple of times already, and Windows happily reports the driver/card are working fine. GPIB options all seem normal on default (GPIB0, system controller checked, etc).
Thank you for any suggestions!
