Finally, IBSTART advises you to complete the following actions:
• Run IBCONF if you must reconfigure the software;
• Reboot your system to load the handler into DOS; and
• Run IBTEST to test the installation of the software.
Step 3 - Run IBCONF (optional)
The pamphlet Getting Started with your GPIB-PC that comes with your
interface board explains when you must run
IBCONF to reconfigure the
software. You may also run IBCONF to examine how the software is
configured.
See More About IBCONF later in this section for information on how to
run IBCONF and on the configurable software parameters.
NOTE: You must run IBCONF if you have a PCIIA, or wish to change
defaults.
Step 4 - Reboot
Reboot your computer from the drive you specified when you ran
IBSTART so that DOS will load the GPIB-PC handler.
Step 5 - Test Software Installation
Run IBTEST from the directory GPIB-PC in your boot area by entering:
cd gpib-pc
ibtest
IBTEST tests whether the handler is installed and functioning with the
GPIB-PC.
