I feel your pain, Lou.? A couple years ago I had to install an NI USB-GPIB interface at work to get a PC to talk to a Tek TDS3000 series scope.? Very painful!? It took weeks to get it to work properly.? All I can say is keep at it.

Thanks to Rich & Nigel for your advice,
I think there may be a problem with my NI MAX installation. The device doesn't have a GPIB ID and the toolbar is empty. I think I need to get that sorted before I worry about anything else.?

Could it be that you just need an alias for the USB-GPIB-HS to be identified as GPIB0?

This is usually achieved in the NI software driver? - you can download that from NI and install it ¨C then in NI-MAX utility you can see the device and clicking on it opens it¡¯s details window ¨C usually the ID is GPIB0.

What do you see if you look at the NI s/w?
It should look like the attached.

Device manager in windows just identifies the hardware by using an ID check.

Hope it helps.

Hi All,
Still lost but I found this when I tried to start the HP7470A plotter and got a pop-up. I'm sure this must be bleedingly obvious to many of you out there but could someone direct me on how to either change the GPIB adapter address to GPIB0 or how to configure connect.ini?

Hi,
I'm looking for help with the setup of the KE5FX software,?I'm not really sure what to expect.
I've installed a NI GPIB-USB-HS adapter and drivers on my PC. It shows up in the device manager as NI GPIB-USB-HS which I assume is correct. In the GPIB configurator I've edited the connect.ini file so is_prologix = 0 but what do I do about the NI interface? The notes in the ini file say "edit interface_settings accordingly" but what's the right setting?
Is there someone out there using the same HW & SW that could point me in the right direction?
