I'm having trouble getting my PCI-GPIB device to recognize instruments in a windows 7 computer. It works with an older PC with Windows XP on it, but when I move it to a new PC it won't detect any instruments and
I ran a self-test and got the following error:
NI-488: An Unknown GPIB hardware error has occurred. (-37052)
Here are my specs:
AMD A4-6300B APU with Radio HD Graphics 3.70GHz
4.00GB or ram (2.92GB usable)
32 Bit operating system
I'm running NI488 15.0.0f0
All settings are identical for both the working XP system and the broken Win7 system.
GPIB settings are as follows:
Interface ID: GPIB0
Primary Address: 0
Secondary address: None
I/O timeout: 13 (10 sec)
system controller is checked
enable autopolling is cheched
Send EOI at End of Write is checked
Set EOI with EOS on Write is NOT checked
Terminate read on EOS is NOT checked
Use 8-bit EOS comparison is NOT checked
EOS Byte is 0
HS488 cable lenbgth is 0 (disabled)
Parallel poll duration is 0 (2 uSec)
Bus timing is 2 (500nSec)
Assert REN when SC is NOT checked.
Everything in my system is identical except for the PC, so it's either a bad motherboard or there's a driver issue. Please help. I have a production line waiting for this upgrade. How do I get the PCI-GPIB card to work with windows 7?
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that i'm on a Lenovo ThinkCentre desktop, so updating the BIOS is impossible.
