The kicker is that I borrowed a computer that successfully runs a 5890/5971 combo in an adjacent lab from mine, plugged it into my system, and found that it works just fine. I have tried using different GPIB boards in computer, GC, and MSD (all are working fine), and I cannot get it to work. When I startup chemstation, it tells me that both the GC and MSD cannot be detected. The GPIB addresses were verified on the cards and through the IO Libraries connection software. I have properly assigned both instruments in the Chemstation configuration panel for the 5890 GC and 5971 MSD with GPIB addresses of 15 and 20, respectively. I know it isn't an IO Libraries issue or communication issue with the GC/MSD. The control panel hardware shows that the card is successfully installed as well. I configured the card as the following:Īll versions of IO Libraries I have tried installing (L.02.00 and M.01.01) recognize the GPIB address of the GC and MSD as 15 and 20, respectively.
AGILENT CHEMSTATION XP WINDOWS
I have a new 82350b PCI GPIB card on the new windows 98 SE computer that is successfully installed using Agilent IO Libraries.

I was able to build a new computer running windows 98 SE with Chemstation G1701AA A.03.01 with D.02.00 NIST Libraries (yes this the correct one for windows 95/98) however, chemstation is unable to recognize the GC. Recently, my windows 98 SE computer died, which I used to control this instrument. I am reaching out the community in the hopes that someone has gone through a similar issue and can help me figure out what I am missing. I am having some trouble connecting my 5890 (series I A)/5971 GC-MSD combo to MSD Chemstation G1701AA.
