GPIB control of HP4275A LCR meter

[IV-Dee]

The control of an old HP4275A LCR meter under Win NT4 in LabView 5.0 is no problem with lowlevel GPIB write commands. Now I moved the program to a newer computer running LabView 5.1 on an NT4 (german) system: as result non of the old GPIB-write commands work anymore and it is impossible to control the HP4275A (which was so easy before).
Does anybody have an idea why? Has anybody codes or libraries for an HP4275A LCR meter that work on LabView 5.1? since the communication to all the other insturments remained fine it's even harder to guess the problem.
ThanX opr any suggestions

Hi,

What driver version are you using?. You can check the driver by going to MAX under software. Look for NI-488.2.

What type of errors are you getting with the new version?. Are you able to communicate with the instrument using MAX or ibic?.

We have an instrument driver for the Agilent 4275A LabVIEW Plug and Play Instrument Driver. You can search for instrument drivers at www.ni.com/idnet.
