I am using Labview PCI-GPIB card to control two instruments -- a Stanford Research System DSP830 lock-in amplifier and a Spex 1702 spectrometer control box. While I can get the good communication between my computer and the lock-in amplifier, I have difficulty in communicating with the Spectrometer controller. Using Max, I always got an EBUS error when I was sending *IDN? query. Followed the spectrometer controller manual, I run the IBCONF program to set the configuration. The "EOS byte" for both GPIB board and Dev1 can only be set to 0, but the manual told me EOS byte of GPIB0 should be 00H and EOS byte of Dev1 should be 0Dh. Some other parameters mentioned in the manual like "Handler Type" a
nd "Base I/O address", didn't show up in the config window. I am wondering if the older version of IBCONF can deal with these parameters.
Generally speaking, what should I do to resolve this communication problem? Thanks for any suggestions.
