I have a Sorensen DLM 60-10 Power Supply. It has an ethernet port for programming. I've used the same series of power supplies with GPIB, but the ethernet interface has me a bit stumped. I checked the manufacturer's website, but all I find are drivers for GPIB (from many years ago). I have the instrument identified in MAX, and I can see it in the tree, but I can't seem to communicate with it.
Help please.

Hi!
Sorry to hear about your issue, can I get a little more information about your system?
What is your OS? (If its Windows), are you able to see the instrument under the device manager?

Do you have NI-VISA installed? (I think this is probably the case since you see the device in MAX)
That should essentially be enough to communicate with the instrument.
The starting steps on how to do that are listed here.
On LabVIEW (or any programming language that you are using) the programming would be almost the same as with GPIB since both make use of the VISA functions
