Manual "5.5.1 Init control", p. 42, #3 says that you need to switch the device manually into remote mode using some button on the the device's front panel.

Place a RS232 input module into the worksheet.

Configure the interface settings.

Go to the RS232 monitor.

Enter :ADR1;:MDL?; then press enter (p.42). The device should answer with some information about its type, name, etc.

Is that working?

Oh, add \r and/or \n to the string

:ADR1;:MDL?;\r

or

:ADR1;:MDL?;\n

or

:ADR1;:MDL?;\r\n

EDIT:

Ok, the manual says that commands send to the device do not need \r, \n symbols.

Hmm, sometimes the manual uses a colon (p. 48 for example), sometimes a semicolon to present examples.

Perhaps you should try :ADR1::MDL?:   with colons only.
