Re: [Linux-gpib-general] gpib_config command not found

[Andreas S. <And...@ru...>]

Thx for the reply. I found the gpib_config executable in the diretory. I 
could run it with "sudo ./gpib_config" and I get this:
failed to configure boardtype : ni_pci
failed to configure baord
main: Invalid argument

So far i did not edit the gpib.conf in /etc/. After editing gpib.conf 
into this:

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


device {
	minor = 0
	name = "FRA5087"
	pad = 2
	sad = 0
}

I tried to run gpib_config as above and i get :
failed to bring board online.
failed to configure board.
main:operation not permitted.

I tried to search for my gpib card with "lspci" and i think it lists as 
this:
03:02.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Measurment Computing Device 0006

I think the problem is somewhere in the gpib.conf or the wrong module. 
Do i need to specify the I/O port address of the gprib card in the 
gpib.conf ? They range from 0xcca0-00xcccf.

Thanks
Andreas
