HP5334B: Please I need urgently an example code in visual c++ or some instructions to control this instrument via GPIB. NI-MAX is useless.

I'm trying to communicate with the HP5334B with NI-MAX but it's useless. The instrument work well manually, maybe it's not IEEE-488.2 compatible. NI-MAX work well because I'm already communicating with others HP-Agilent's and Fluke's instruments. So I need urgently some example codes or instructions to communicate with the HP5334B. Thank you very much.

Your should first test your device's GPIB port to make sure it is activated.
Use IBIC
http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/max/ibic.htm/
If the ibln command returns true then it is on, if it returns false then you need to activate it manually.

This instrument does not respond to *IDN?, but you can send this command to reset and query the device in IBIC:
IN,SM0\r\n
For other commands, refer to your instrument's user manual or contact Agilent.

There is also an instrument driver for this instrument located here:

Thank you, but I have already solved my problem about this instrument using IBIC and visual c++. Thank you the same.

Thank you, but I have already solved my problem about this instrument not using IBIC, but only visual c++. Thank you the same.
