Downloading the Correct Driver for the GPIB-USB-HS(+)

Issue Details

I am using the GPIB-USB-HS or GPIB-USB-HS+. Which driver do I need for the device, and where can I find it?

Solution

The NI GPIB hardware devices require the NI-488.2 driver. The following steps will guide you on identifying and downloading a compatible driver version for your specific device:

1. Identify a Compatible Driver Version: Cross-reference driver support using the following resources:

   • NI Hardware and Operating System Compatibility
   • LabVIEW version (if applicable)
   • Supported Hardware section available in the Readme of NI-488.2 versions prior to 21.0 (NI-488.2 Release Notes).

2. Download the Driver: Once you’ve identified a compatible driver version, download it from the NI-488.2 Download page. This will lead to the installation via the NI Package Manager or to offline installers (accessible through the ‘Download Offline’ button) for the NI-488.2 driver and its associated dependencies.

3. For Older Versions: If you need to download NI-488.2 version 17.0 or earlier, refer to the guide on How to Download NI-488.2 Drivers Prior to 17.6 for additional information and next steps.
