GPIB-32 Library --------------- This package constitutes the 32-bit GPIB support for Microsoft Windows NT and Win-95/98 and Win-2000. To Install, run SETUP.EXE on this disk. The enclosed files include: 1. A C-callable DLL for the standard GPIB functions (and companion "LIB" file for linking with your program). 2. 32-bit versions of the three GPIB utilities: > CBCONF32 - GPIB configuration definition > CBIC32 - Manual bus/instrument commanding > CBTEST32 - A simple installation test These utilities operate (with minor exception) identically to the existing DOS/Windows versions. 3. A "C" sample Windows program that uses the enclosed DLL, including source (CDEMO32.C). 4. A Visual Basic sample program (form) and Visual Basic include file(GPIB-32.BAS) for the GPIB-32 library. 5. A Borland Delphi-3 example program consisting of: a) The library interface include file, GPIB.PAS b) The project file, GPIBDEMO.DPR c) The demo source code, SAMPLE.PAS d) The demo form, SAMPLE.DFM 6. The "c" header file for the GPIB-32 library, Windecl.h 7. For Win-NT/2000: The "Ntgpibdd" device driver which must be used inconjunction with the enclosed GPIB DLL. 8. For Win-95: The "GPIBVXD.386" device driver. The install (setup) program deposits these files in the directory you specify. If you are installing on a NT system then it also installs the Ntgpibdd device driver. For Win-95/98 it installs the GPIBVXD.386 device driver. You also need to ensure that environment variable "GPIBDIR" is set to point to your GPIB.CFG file (default location is set by install program). Note: The DLL and LIB files may be more convinently placed in your system directory. Following install you must run CBCONF32 to set your board type and any other non-standard operating parameters. Note: For usage with various 3rd-party packages, please refer to other readme files so named. Note that on Windows NT the install program must be run by your system administrator. You must re-start your machine in order for the installation/ configuration changes to take effect. Note that we have given the three GPIB utilities CBIC/CBCONF/CBTEST names with "32" suffixes. These utilties are essentailly identical to the original (16-bit world) animals and conform to the existing documentation. However, one small difference is that the 32-bit versions of the utilities utilize the DLL - as opposed to the 16-bit programs which are stand-alone. Note for PCMCIA: Win-NT does not support "Plug-N-Play" in the sense of Win-95. For PCMCIA interfaces, you must follow this install sequence: a. Install the GPIB software. b. Set the PCMCIA.SYS driver for "Auto" start-up. c. Shut down your system. d. Insert the PCMCIA card. e. Re-boot your system. You should now see your GPIB card listed under "PCMCIA" in the Control Panel. It should also have I/O port and interrupt level resources assigned. If you have CardWizard (from SystemSoft Corp.) installed then you can insert/remove the PCM-GPIB card at any time following system boot-up, as long as no GPIB-related programs are running. It is recommended that, if possible, you leave the short umbilical cable attached when removing the PCMCIA card as it will reduce wear and tear on the connector. Also, please review file NTPCMCIA.TXT. This package does not support PCMCIA on Win-2000.Download Driver Pack
