Using LABVIEW 6i, and a NI 488.2 PCI card installed in a high end Dell computer, my R&K 680A probe station responds to some commands (home, load) but I cannot position it or properly read position. I believe it has something to do with the device being older and not 488.2 compliant. I get timeout errors when I try to communicate with the device using iMAX. A simple command like "home" (sends an ASCII "H") execute with no errors. Anybody have ideas?
All the hardware checks out. The prober uses a 68488 chip for IEEE 488 interfacing.
