3.7.5 CTS / GPIB Software Setting Conflict. (For NI PCI-6034E Card Users only)
Each time the CTS is run, a function is called to initialize the A/D card. This call, "Init_DA_brds", actually
does more than A/D initialization. It also sends some commands to the instrument with GPIB address #1
when using a NI GPIB controller. The AC source if used over the IEEE-488 bus is factory set to address 1.
This may cause a problem unless the IEEE-488 address on the power source is changed to an address
other than 1.
The address can be left at 1 on the power source if needed by changing the visaconf.ini file. This file is
typically residing in "c\vxipnp\win95\nivisa" directory. (If not located in this directory, use the Windows
Explorer Find function to locate this file.) This file is not distributed with the CTS software. It is installed
when the National Instruments GPIB software is installed. There is a line under [GPIB-VXI-CONFIG]:
DisableAutoFind=0. The 0 needs to be changed to 1.
