untar linux_gpib_socket_*.tgz and cd into the created linux_gpib_socket_server directory.

install the linux_gpib driver and verify that the GPIB card can be accessed (you may need to run ldconfig after driver installation!).

If using the linux_gpib driver from /, download linux_gpib_socket-1.3.1.tgz.

if make runs without errors, as root run 'make install'.

untar gpib_socket_*.tgz and cd into the created gpib_socket_server directory.

Install the National Instruments GPIB driver (version ni4882-2.90f0 or later), refer to National Instruments for instructions, may need a system reboot.

If running CentOS 7, download this script and run it to install needed liberaies not automatically included in a default CentOS 7 installation.

Please note that this version of the gpibserver is now deprecated and you should consider using the linux_gpib_socket server instead.

If using the GPIB driver supplied by National instruments, download gpib_socket-2.13.tgz.

Gnu 'make' Other 'make' packages than the one from Gnu may also work, but has not been tested.Ī GPIB interface card (not required for gpib_serial_emulator_server)

The Perl (R) interpreter version 5.8.8 or later. Only tested with CentOS-6 and later, but will likely work on other Linux type system as well. Note however, that this mode of operation requires the serial-socket-server-9.0.pl program supplied by RFCcontrol or Elchemea Data Aquisition in order to function properly!īelow is a list of requirements (for all three versions)Ī Linux type operating system. In this case no GPIB-card or driver is nescesarry as that server maps gpib comands to serial interfaces. The other version is to be used in combination with the linux_gpib open source GPIB driver distrbuted by .Ī third option is to use serial communication and use the gpib_serial_emulator_server. The GPIB server handles request through a tcp-IP socket interface making communication between applications and hardware simple.īoth are implemented in C and one is to be used if the GPIB driver supplied by National Instruments is to be used. And what do you guess - NI MAX found the GPIB-USB-B and the attached Instrument identified correctly.The GPIB server supplied by DTU Energy is intended to handle all communications between user applications and actual GPIB intraface cards and connected devices. Then I opened Devicemanager and updated the driver from that temporary directory manually. Just found out that you can extract the actual and signed driver from NI4882_1760f0\Products\NI-488.2_Runtime\ni488r64.cab\ to a temporary folder where I renamed the files manually as follows. Well I didn't know how so i did the following. Maybe there is an official standard way to do this. So I had to find a way to get them both running in the latest environment as I had no option to uninstall v20.0. But one device was not supportet in v17.6 yet the other is the GPIB-USB-B. I have two devices to be operated simultaneously.
