 +There are two ways on how to install the gbip driver. The first one is a guide made by //Marios Omar Choudary (University of Cambridge)//, the second one is a guide made by the Youtuber  //Tech Tangents//.

 To use the GPIB with a LabVIEW script you need also to install the ni-488.2 driver. To use the GPIB with a LabVIEW script you need also to install the ni-488.2 driver.
 After the installation make sure that all ni kernel modules are loaded. After the installation make sure that all ni kernel modules are loaded.

 +This guide allows for some rudimentary communication between the instrument an the computer but LabVIEW itself does not recognize the instrument...

 +===== Youtube Guide =====
 +The Youtuber  //Tech Tangents// made a video guide on how to install and use a gpib interface [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzLHvzzZVKs|Videolink]], keep in mind that LabVIEW still does not recognize the gpib interface but python does. 
 +**Note:** This procedure has to be repeated every time the kernel gets update (if only a reboot took place repeat the second part of this guide).
 +
 +
 +- Download the newest version of the driver [[https://linux-gpib.sourceforge.io/|here]].
 +  - Install the kernel
 +      - make
 +      - sudo make install
 +  - Install the user
 +      - ./bootstrap
 +      - ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc
 +      - sudo make
 +      - sudo make install
 +
 +For the computer to recognize and use the gpib driver the following commands have to be made every time the system reboots.
 +      - groupadd gpib
 +      - sudo usermod -a -G gpib $USER
 +      - sudo ldconfig
 +      - sudo gpib_config -t ni_usb_b
