DOSBox for the GPIB support

Hello

New to the Commission, but have been using technologies of NI GPIB bus for five years in my business.  I am currently underway to rewrite some DOS applications based on Windows so that we can support the later operating systems, but we still have a lot of existing code written.  I have explored the possibility of using DosBox for some of these applications give a new life under Windows 7 and later operating systems.  A particular application is a work horse very versatile app written and maintained by one of our application engineers.

Currently, I found that DosBox provides no support for the GPIB interface card.  However, I downloaded the source to DosBox and found that it was written in Visual C++.  Given my previous experience in porting applications for this platform, I am convinced that I could 'improve' DosBox to subsidize GPIB for DOS applications through a form of emulation.  I think something in the sense of a DOS application running by calling the GPIB functions which are translated by DosBox in calls in the Windows of DosBox drivers.

Has anyone ever tried this before?  I thought that the first step would be to understand (and maybe disassemble) the code contained in libraries of objects used by these programs (QBIB. OBJ, MCIB. OBJ, MCIBL. OBJ, etc.).  I tried looking for sources for these but my research have developed dry.  Has anyone been on this path and have had better luck?  If this isn't the case, it would be possible to get more information on how the DOS driver strives to contribute to this effort?

Thanks in advance.

  • Writing a driver for the GPIB-ENET100 in C++ based on a Linux machine

    I picked up some remains of a driver for this device and I'm trying to resurrect it for a new project.

    Basic Comms between the host and the device of the GPIB-ENET work OK, I can analyze the GPIB bus for instruments and address address Analyzer connected properly.

    But, if I try and write commands to the instrument I get an error GPIB.

    Work of communication very well by using windows OR browser based tool, so I've captured the Ethernet traffic and found several types of messages I do not recognize. He also seems to be sending messages on port 5015, but also the main port 5000.

    SO, my question: is there a document covering the interface with the device at a low level of TCP message? Alternatively, as I suspect it is the secret of stuff and I'm supposed to buy an expensive software of NOR?

    SOLVED.

    After connecting to the GPIB-ENET100 using ibfind and setting various options on board level it is essential to drop and reconnect the plug before attempting to connect and communicate at the peripheral level.

    My version of ibfind opens a socket and my version of ibonl closes the socket when it is called to set a Board/device offline.

    The driver now works perfectly.

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Can I pay for the Apple support after my three years apple Plan of Protection ends in June?

    Can I continue to get the support of Apple after my three-year AppleCare plan expired in June? I'd be willing to pay an annual fee, as the support has been fantastic.

    N °

    Warranty periods are not forever.

    When your AppleCare long ends in June, it will stop.

    There is no longer any other warranty, your coverage will end.

    In addition, you already paid Apple for your warranty period of three years, anyway.

    By the end, you can bring your Mac to an Apple Store for a diagnostic workup and interior cleaning.

    That's what I did before my iMac 2009 extended AppleCare ended.

    I'm sorry.

  • Pavilion Notebook-13-b203tu: best practices for the notebook support

    GDay,

    I just bought the new pavilion notebook and read it work on the user manual: "the computer does not use the battery when the computer is connected to an external electrical outlet with a certified power adapter or a device of mooring/extension option." (hapter 6 p36)

    I would have my battery for laptop in good health and live longer than possible, my quest is that I have to unplug the AC adapter when the battery indicator displays 100% when charging using the laptop? or just leave the AC adapter plugged in, as it is stated on the manual.

    Thaks a lot.

    Hello

    All smart batteries and chargers are smarter than we thought. When disconnecting the power supply, use the battery and at the end of the day battery needs charge cycles more.

    My comments (I mentioned several times on this forum): leaving batteries and machines 24/24 on the AC at the end of two years, their batteries are much better than the ones pluged/disconnected every day.

    I hope this helps.

  • BlackBerry smartphones is supported for the East Asian languages for the Blackberry Bold 9780 on O2?

    Hello, I hope someone can help me with my problem. I'm new to the whole Blackberry I just bought my first BB camera a few days ago so please understand if I don't know what words are in the world of Blackberry. The questions will be in bold.

    So, I recently bought a Blackberry Bold 9780 and I am very satisfied with the overall product. However I was wondering if there was support for the East Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc) for my 9780 BB which is on O2 UK.

    Right now, in my languages options, I can only entry for most European languages (English, Spanish, French, etc.) There are no options for languages of East Asia at all. When I try to display all messages or go on the browser which are languages of East Asia, I don't see one set of black boxes.

    I know there are software updates to update your device to take charge of specific languages, so I checked the software downloads page that interests me.

    O2 - UK users, they have two packages:

    -BlackBerry Handheld Software v6.0.0.905 (all languages)

    Package Version: 6.0.0.905
    Composed of:

    • Applications: 6.0.0.294
    • Software platform: 6.5.0.54
    • File name: 9780AllLang_PBr6.0.0_rel905_PL6.5.0.54_A6.0.0.294_O2_UK.exe
    • File size: 180,72 MB

    -BlackBerry Handheld Software v6.0.0.0905 (Multilingual)

    Package Version: 6.0.0.905
    Composed of:

    • Applications: 6.0.0.294
    • Software platform: 6.5.0.54
    • File name: 9780jAllLang_PBr6.0.0_rel905_PL6.5.0.54_A6.0.0.294_O2_UK.exe
    • File size: 185,61 MB

    Then How do I know which package I currently installed on my device because the application number and the number of software are identical.

    On my device it details shows: v6.0.0.294, (905 Bundle, platform 6.5.0.54)

    So I wonder if none of the above two packages have the option to enable East Asian language support.

    I'm sure I have the latest update for my camera that I can't update more far depending on the desktop software and my phone. So If I move to another package, how do I go to do?

    I mainly use a MAC, but I can also have access to a PC too. I don't know if it's important, but I think that there is a difference between the Desktop software on each computer that is used to update your software.

    If possible, it is that I would be able to download another package that has the support of another service provider East Asia and update on my own? Or is it too risky because it may crash my machine?

    And my last question, so it is likely that O2 can do in the near future if there is no option for the language support East Asia now,?

    Sorry if I rambled on a bit too much or too many questions. I just want to know if its possible to enable language support is now, otherwise I will waste countless hours looking for a method. I looked to see if there were similar questions, asked the Board of Directors, but none was really specific to my needs.

    A big thank you to everyone who sits reading through this. I appreciate the responses.

    Thank you.

    Do not know if you understand how to do this, but I did these steps and it worked fine:

    1. https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=7D2A383E54274888B4B73B97E1AAA491&dl=... go here and download the version of v6.0.0.0905 (Multilingual) BlackBerry Handheld Software.

    2 install the downloaded OS on your computer, you need the files of this new OS more later to add multi language support for your BlackBerry device.
    C:\Program Files\Common search in Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9780AllLang_v6.0.0.294_P6.5.0.54
    The CJK.alx is the file that you will use later.

    3. use Desktop Manager to save your BlackBerry (better safe than sorry)

    4. before installation, go to your AppLoader folder, for example C:\Program Files Research In Motion\AppLoader and move the Vendor.xml to a backup directory, if you have kept a copy of the file. The loader.exe allows to load up the AppLoader, follow the instructions in the wizard.

    He automatically gave me a list of applications and languages, if you scroll down see you East Asian languages check those you want that I checked Japanese and Thai language and font support. If you do not see these click on 'Add' at the top and navigate to the CJK.alx file.

    So let the application loader it's thing, after that everything should work.

    Hope this works for you also. I take no responsibility of bricking your phone.

    BlackBerry should be an option to install more languages via the phone.

    I think Toshiba is directly wrong address. Contact nearest authorized service provider. They are responsible for the hardware support and exchange of material.

    Of course, if you call them at Sunday, I can imagine you w = must wait until Monday.

    RIM does not guarantee other support devices by wireless companies.  So, if you buy from someone and they don't give you a guarantee then you will get probably no guarantee through RIM.   That's the pitfall of equipment from unauthorized dealers.  I am a TMobile customer we.  However, I can't directly call the RIM and get warranty support.  If I want to RIM support I have to pay $50 for the case.  But, if I called TMobile and they can't solve my problem they can escalate my case to RIM without cost to me.

    This is how their system works.
