Help needed: Installing NI GPIB-PCI drivers and NI-VISA in Linux -Ubuntu or SUSE

[croma641]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some assistance with correctly installing the drivers for a National Instruments GPIB-PCI card and the associated NI-VISA drivers on my system.

My main problem now is getting NI-VISA to correctly identify and allow communication through the GPIB card, even though the lower-level NI-488.2 driver appears to be functional.

Thanks in advance

P.S.:  I'd also be perfectly happy with a solution for Debian if that's more straightforward.
