Recently had one of my engineers use an old computer, and found it is having hard drive issues. I got the old PC back up and running, but I think that this is a good time to try and upgrade the hardware/software.
Old Computer:
Running Windows 95
Using a HP Communications Card (GPIB) model 82335A
The HP card then connects to a HP 8751A Network Analyzer
This runs software called HP Instrument Basic (iBasic), and has several tests saved
New Computer that I want to upgrade
Basic Desktop PC running Windows 7 32 bit
I have a NI - GPIB-USB-HS cord, from a different testing machine, that I want to use to connect to the same analyzer
With the new computer and the NI cord, I can run the iBasic software, and the test loads, but errors when it runs.
In the code it gives the error message on the line that says "ON TIMEOUT Scode,3" then GOTO the LINE that prints the error
I have installed the drivers for the NI GPIB cord, and even tried installing/testing the Agilent library Suite.
I'm looking for any ideas that someone may have to point me in the right direction, since I am currently stuck.
Thanks
