[time-nuts] Timelab, GPIB-USB-B in a VM

[Bob Stewart]

I don't know how they're done in VMWare, but in VirtualBox, you have to setup the USB configuration for the VM before you start it.  You just click the machine, settings, then USB, then add a device, then select from what's available.  Which means you have to have it plugged in and enumerated first.

John,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm obviously missing something as I can't see the GPIB-USB-B or the
ethernet connected GPIB-ENET.

It's really as simple as going to aquire->HP5371/5372 and the interfaces
should be in the list, correct?

Thanks,
Bob
