Several applications require customized configuration of the NI-488.2 driver. For example, you might want to terminate reads on a special end-of-string character, or you might require secondary addressing. In these cases, you can either reconfigure from your application using the ibconfig function or reconfigure using the GPIB Configuration utility.

Note National Instruments recommends using ibconfig to modify the configuration. |
If your application uses ibconfig, it works properly regardless of the previous configuration. For more information about reconfiguring your software, refer to the description of ibconfig or the GPIB Configuration utility.
