Can't find tams usb gpib interface (agilent io suite) in max

[konstantantin]

Sorry for asking again, but i think i'm doing something simple wrong. I would be very glad if you could help me setting it up. Trying every combination is quite difficult.
Thanks

I honestly don't know, what I could do besides of telling you to follow the instructions and maybe...

- Use a 32bit system

- Make sure that you install the IO Suite before the NI products. If you have to install NI products make sure you clean the registry and delete all NI folders

- As a last resort you could also do a fresh Windows installation. Sometimes that's easier than getting all that NI stuff of your machine

If nothing works I can only recommend to get another adapter, which is officially supported by NI.

then i have a view question, witch operating System did you use, and maybe can u remember which version on NI max you used, not exactly. I'm going to try it in win xp probably. So i can install the IO directly. And those Adapter are not even close to affordable.

From what I see, the $649 for an NI controller is only slightly more than the TAMS and you've already spent that in your wasted time getting the TAMS to work.

That's way too long ago to remember, but I would assume besides of the IO suite I used the versions of my original post.

I just noticed that TAMS is located just several miles from me. Their web site also says they are exiting the business at the end of the year. I would but something with long term support.

Good News, got it to work. Now i have the Problem, the device is showing in NI Max and i can send command over NI Max, but cant write from Labview. Tryed allot of vi's and some own stuff. It seams that Labview is not sendig or reciving anything. But i gues that should be another thread. What did you use it for, any thing else u did ?

Thanks alot!

I'm sorry... as far as I can remember my issue was solved as soon as I got the interface working with MAX.

Jup i found the error the Labview Programmer had an Error in the IEEE 488 sequence.
