What do I need to use this card to control an HP 8568 Spectrum analyzer, other than HPIB cables from my computer and what OS (WIN 3.1, 95,
98) should be used? Drivers? Library? Where do I go for them?- posted

Go to
formatting link
for drivers for your card. There are some programming examples on their site as well.
You will probably need the programming manual for the HP 8568 to do anything with it. Go to
formatting link
for information on the HP 8568.

Does "LabView" support this device? Also, you might want to consider a newer card/device so you're not locked into an obsolete PC. For example, there are Ethernet/GPIB controllers available which would allow you to then control it from any networked PC (but again probably using something like "LabView").

I have a NI GPIB controller in a PC and it works OK with LV7.1
I will check this week if you can do something with MAX from NI.

Yes, you can use MAX to talk to your board and scan for devices and much more...

Well, you certainly don't want to use Win 3.1 with it -- you'll never find any applications. According to the table at
formatting link
, you need the NI 1.7 driver for that card.
The 8568 is supported by the GPIB Toolkit software at the link below, so once you've got the drivers installed, you might give it a try.
