Can I use GPIB vi's with GPIB-VISA vi's?

[alias100]

I often face a problem using vi's that contain GPIB-read and GPIB-write when I install VISA. I have to change the VI's to VISA-read and VISA-write. Is there anyway to leave the instrument drivers as GPIB-read/write and still work with VISA-read/write vi's?
Thanks

Hello,

To access a given GPIB resource in LabVIEW, you should use either the GPIB VIs or the VISA VIs, but not both at the same time. That is, you can use either

GPIB: Use the GPIB Write and GPIB Read VIs located in the All Functions -> Instrument I/O -> GPIB palette

or,

VISA: Use the VISA Write and VISA Read VIs located in the All Functions -> Instrument I/O -> VISA palette

Best Regards,
