Problem:
I have a National Instruments GPIB chip and am trying to do register level programming. Where can I find resources for this?

Solution:
GPIB Register-Level Programming Policy
National Instruments provides technical support for developing NI-488 compatible drivers using the NI-488DDK. National Instruments also provides technical support for developing applications that use these drivers; however, National Instruments cannot provide technical support for changes to, or additions to the functionality of the NI-488 layer. For Operating System (OS) specific questions, please contact the OS vendor.
If you have register-level programming questions regarding the implementation of a design using the TNT4882T/L (Talker/Listener), NAT9914, NAT7210, or NAT4882 GPIB ASICs, then National Instruments can provide technical support via e-mail; however, this support is not intended to design an instrument for you, but is intended to solve specific problems that you encounter while implementing a design.
