analogic dbs9900

[reichenbach]

Does anyone have the soft front panel for the DBS9900? Or perhaps a copy of the ATEScope software from analogic?

I am trying to veryify my dbs9900 units, but i cannot find this software.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Unfortunately I could not locate the soft front panel, or the software for this device. Have you tried reaching out to the company who manufactures the device?

Thanks for looking! Have you ever heard of ATEscope by SKY Computers or by Analogoc? It's a windows based software that also works with these cards.

What does ATEScope, SKY computers, or Analogic have to do with NI DAQ devices? That's where you posted. Anything to do with any NI hardware or software?

I probably put this request in the wrong category. I was looking for the VXI category on NI forums, but for some reason couldnt find it.

the DBS9900 are not NI units. they were made by Analogic in mid-90s. They shutdown the department many years ago. We have contact Analogic and nobody there has anything for us. Its almost as if noone there even know that they made these 15-20 years ago.

ATEScope was a program that SKY Computers made for Analogic. They can control and communicate with many of the Analogic VXI modules. Including the DBS9900 modules.

I see you found the correct board. Good luck. Most companies shut down their VXI lines and no longer offer support. It might be time to retire this old hardware.

In an ideal world, every company always updates to newest equipment or everything is supported forever by the manufacturers. Unfortunately, that is not how the world works. Re-engineering is VERY expensive for ciritical systems. If it works, theres no need to fix it. I deal with companies (military contractors) that are required to maintain these VXI/VME systems for decades. Unfortunately, re-design is not an option with these Analogic boards. I am just looking to see if anyone has the software or drivers just sitting on a hard drive somewhere and could just email them to me.

Thanks!

You are looking for drivers and software for a non-NI product that is nearly two decades on a NI forum?

[reichenbach]

Yes. It's worth a shot.
