RadiMation Error: 805306940

GPIB system driver error (EDVR): Hostname conversion impossible

A RadiMation device driver is trying to control a GPIB device through a GPIB board. However an error is raised by the GPIB system driver that controls that GPIB board. The driver has detected that it is impossible to convert the hostname of the GPIB Ethernet device to a valid IP address.

National Instruments NI-488.2

This error corresponds to the National Instruments NI-488.2 error 0xE1060071.

This error occurs with a GPIB Ethernet interface. If the driver is configured to communicate to the interface using a hostname, this indicates that the hostname cannot be converted to a numerical IP address.

Solution

When a National Instruments GPIB board is used, the configuration of the GPIB board can be checked and changed in the NI-MAX software.

• Check if the GPIB Ethernet device is still present and available in the NI-MAX software.
• Check if the network DNS servers are correctly working.
