Presence Test Of Gpib Board; Incorrect Interrupt Level; Gpib Cables Connected - National Instruments NI-488.2M Software Reference Manual

Debugging Your Application
• GPIB x might be configured to use the same interrupt level that is already
used by another device in the system. This situation would cause a conflict
that would prevent the driver from installing GPIB x . Try a different
interrupt level and make certain that the hardware and software are
configured to use the same level.

Presence Test of GPIB Board

The following error message appears if GPIB x is not installed or if it is not
configured at the base I/O address that the driver expects:
<<< No board present for GPIB x .
Check that the board is properly installed in your computer and run ibconf to
make certain that the driver is configured to use the same base I/O address as the
board.

Incorrect Interrupt Level

The ibtest program outputs dots, then hangs if the AT-GPIB board under test
is installed but configured to use an incorrect interrupt level. Run ibconf to
configure the driver to use the correct interrupt level.

GPIB Cables Connected

The following error message appears if a GPIB cable was connected to the board
when you ran ibtest:
Call(25) 'ibcmd " "' failed, ibsta (0x134) not what
was expected (0x8130)
Call(25) 'ibcmd " "' failed, expected ibsta (0x100) to
have the ERR bit set.
Disconnect all GPIB cables before trying the test again.
