Setup Troubleshooting

Symptoms and Actions

A GPIB error occurs.
The remote device address may be incorrect or the GPIB cable may not yet be connected.
The GPIB cable cannot be connected.
The GPIB cable may interfere with the chassis of your PC and not be plugged correctly into the interface
connector of the board depending on the structure of your PC, for example, when the slots are located in
the rear panel of the PC too deeply.
You can use the GPIB connector adapter (CN-GP/C) to work around this problem.
As this problem occurs on most PCs with Low Profile PCI Express slots, a CN-GP/C is included with the
GPIB-F-LPE and the GPIB-FL-LPE.

The OS won't normally get started or detect the board.
Turn off the power to the PC and remove the board. Reboot the OS and use [Control Panel] -
[Add/Remove Applications] to uninstall the "CONTEC API-GPIB(WDM) driver".
Turn off the PC again, plug the board, and restart the OS. Let the OS detect the board and use
API-TOOL Configuration to make board settings over again.

If your problem cannot be resolved

Contact your retailer.
