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

[Bob Bownes]

Yup, I'm using VBox. Kinda have to on account it $DAY_JOB. ;)

In any case, it appears, in the USB case, to be an Issue with the GPIB-USB-B as when I swapped it out with a GPIB-USB-HS, it all comes right up. 

I'm suspicious of the GPIB-ENET, and am wondering if I've been bitten by a No Longer Supported by NI issue. Bah. 

In any case, there is a nice 8 hour adev running on an old 10811 that's been on the bench for a while. Will swap that one out for one marked 'bad phase noise' in the am and see how they match up.

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.
