Configuration Errors

If your hardware and software settings do not match, one of the following
problems might occur:
• Application hangs on input or output functions
• Data is corrupted
If these problems occur, make sure that the GPIB hardware settings match the
NI-488.2M software settings for the interrupt request level and the DMA
channel. For information on hardware and software default settings, refer to the
getting-started manual that came with your kit. The next section discusses how
to reconfigure your NI-488.2M software, if necessary.
