Data Perecision 8200 Instrument Driver

[JRE89]

Hello,

I was wondering if you have available instrument driver for Data Precision 8200?

Thanks for your help!

There doesn't seem to be a driver premade, but this is an old instrument (1981) with primitive commands that you can easily send over GPIB.  You'll probably want to use VISA in LabVIEW. 

There's a manual here which shows the 2 possible commands the instrument responds to - http://www.ko4bb.com/getsimple/index.php?id=download&file=06_Misc_Test_Equipment/Data_Precision/Data...

You simply need to send strings like "V0+120\n" to set ouput to 120V or "A-50\n" to set current to -50mA.

Jhon,

I realize this was over a year ago, but were you able to get the DP 8200 to respond with VISA commands?

Best,

Brandi
