I have 21 GPIB instrument control programs which run perfeectly on a PIII with an NI ISA PNP board. They also run on a PII IBM laptop in a dock with an NI ISA GPIB board.
I have a P4 with a NI gpib/pci board installed along with the 488.2 3.1.2 drivers etc. The software finds and I can set up the PCI board and all the instruments so that I have complete write /read capability and the control commands are executed and responses correctly received in the "communicate with instrument" box.
DOS support is enabled and the rest of the setup for DOS seems to have executed properly, however attempting to run any of the progams in the "dos box" results in a "dos error" and an "Ibfind error" once the program executes beyond the "on screen" instrument control option menu and tries to access the instruments..
I have set up the PCI-GPIB board and each each instrument with exaxctly the same instrument # settings and aliases as used for the ISA-GPIB board.
The necessary GPIB "include" files are in the NI folder as are the runtime files.
What am I missing here???
Thanks for your help,
Ted.
