Does 64-bit Beta 488.2 Driver Provide a 64-bit Application Programming Interface (API)?Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-488.2Primary Software Version: 2.5 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A Hardware: Instrument Connectivity Other>>Ethernet>>GPIB-ENET
Problem: I am writing code on a 64-bit Linux machine and need to make calls to the NI-488.2 driver. Does National Instruments provide this ability? Solution: Unfortunately, the libraries included with the 64-bit Beta 488.2 driver are kernel mode only. This means that programs will run on 64-bit systems, but they must be 32-bit applications. All current driver versions support up to 32-bit systems. The cib.o language interface provided by National Instruments will not link into 64-bit code. If a 64-bit system must be used in your application, one option is to actually compile a 32-bit program on your 64-bit system and link to the GPIB library through the 32-bit code. There is no way to link 64-bit code to the National Instruments GPIB library. Related Links: Drivers and Updates: NI-488.2 2.5 - Redhat - Beta 64 Bit Attachments:
