[Linux-gpib-general] ibtest

[Rene K. <re...@ko...>]

Hi,

I have a problem with running ibtest.
I'm using debian woody 3.01 with kernel 2.4.20, a AT-GPIB PCI card from
NI and the driver linux-gpib 3.1.93.
I can start the module tnt4882 fine.
I also use a HP Data Aquisitioncontrol unit over gpib with the adress 9.

When I run ibtest I get the following message:

Do you wish to open a (d)evice or an interface (b)oard?
(you probably want to open a device): d

enter primary gpib adress for device you wish to open [0-30]: 9
trying to open pad = 9 on /dev/gpib0 ...

ibBoardOpen failled to open device file
No such file or directory
ibdev error

ibsta = 0x8000 < ERR >
iberr = 0
EDVR 0: OS error

ibcnt = 2
Aborted

my gpib.conf looks like:

interface {
	minor = 0
	board_type = "ni_pci"
	name = "tnt"
	pad = 0
	master = yes
}

device {
	minor = 0
	name = "hpdacq"
	pad = 9
	eos = 0xa
}

Can anybody help me to run ibtest correctly!
Thanks!!!
Rene

It seems to be failing to open /dev/gpib0.  What is the output of=20
'ls -l /dev/gpib*' ?  The device files should have been created when you =
did=20
make install, or if you are using devfs they should appear when the=20
gpib-common module is loaded.
