I am trying to use DASYLab 11 to read a HP3457A. I am using a GPIB-USB-HS interface, windows 7 and a 64 bit laptop. I can communicate with the instrument using NiDAQmx communicator but when I try to run a simple program with just the IEEE-488 input or output module in DASYLab I get a "The National Windows DLL, GPIB.DLL, is missing" error. Beyond that, I am not sure how to set up the module and it would be helpful if I could see some examples but I couldn't find any. I have tried installing 2017 device drivers and DASYLab, I checked ni for IEEE devices. is this a registry issue? is there a download that I need. thanks

It's an error in the program's search path.
Look in your Windows folders for the NI GPIB dll -- copy it to the DASYLab program folder.
The file should be NIGPIB32.dll
That should solve the path problem.

that fixed it, I am able to communicate. I am looking for some examples to use the Input and Output modules more effectively. I am using a HP3457A Multimeter. can you point me to some. thanks

I'm glad that worked.
Attached are some examples. I don't have a specific one for your device.
