I powered off my GPIB-ENET/100 before recording the flashing
PWR/RDY LED pattern. What should I do?
Try to duplicate the error before calling National Instruments for
assistance. Recording the PWR/RDY LED pattern is not critical to the
operation of your GPIB-ENET/100, but it saves you time and helps
National Instruments diagnose the problem quickly and accurately.
How can I determine if my GPIB hardware and the NI-488.2 software
are installed properly?
Run the NI-488.2 Getting Started Wizard by selecting Start»Programs»
National Instruments»NI-488.2»Getting Started.

interfaces simultaneously.
I have a GPIB-ENET. Can I use the GPIB-ENET and GPIB-ENET/100
in the same system?
Yes, this version of NI-488.2 supports systems containing both products as
well as systems containing only one of the two products. Measurement &
Automation Explorer will guide you through the configuration of the
product.
How many GPIB interfaces can I configure for use with the NI-488.2
software?
You can configure the NI-488.2 software to communicate with up to
100 GPIB interfaces.
How many devices can I configure for use with NI-488.2 for
Windows Me/98/95?

connect to a single GPIB interface is 14, or fewer, depending on your
system configuration.
Can I use the NI-488 and NI-488.2 calls together in the same
application?
