STD-GPIB for Windows
To run the GPIB software configuration utility, double-click on the GPIB icon in the
Control Panel , which is located in the Main  group of the  Program Manager .
The utility displays a list of all the GPIB modules and device names.  Double-click on
any name to examine or edit it.  The correct board type to use for the STD-GPIB in the
configuration utility is AT-GPIB/TNT.  You can use the online help if you have any
questions.  For more information about the GPIB software configuration utility, refer to
the  NI-488.2 User Manual for Windows.
If you plan to use the HS488 high-speed protocol, you must specify in the GPIB software
configuration utility the amount of GPIB cable length in your system.  The 5 in. GPIB
ribbon cable must be included in the total length.
After the software is installed and configured, you should verify the installation.  Refer to
Chapter 4, Installation Verification and Troubleshooting.
