Running Existing DOS NI-488.2 Applications under Windows 2000/NT
To run DOS NI-488.2 applications, you must enable NI-488.2 DOS
support under Windows 2000/NT. To enable NI-488.2 DOS support in
Windows 2000/NT, complete the following steps:
1. Open your
config.nt
file, located in the Windows 2000/NT
system32 directory (for example,
c:\windows\system32
).
2. Find the following lines:
REM ***To run DOS GPIB applications, uncomment the
REM ***following line
REM device=<path>\doswin16\gpib-nt.com
where
<path>
is the directory in which you installed the NI-488.2
software.
3. Remove
REM
from the last line so that it reads as follows:
device=<path>\doswin16\gpib-nt.com
To disable DOS support, add
REM
back to the line where it was removed.
