GPIB operations for Ranal-Dana 1992 & BoonTon 82AD

[taykh]

Hi fellow members,

   I am now trying to communicate with Ranal-Dana 1992 & BoonTon 82AD VIA GPIB. AS I am very new to GPIB, I am really lost. I don't know how to start. Can anyone guide me with this (Sample code? Example?)?? BTW, I am coding with Visual Basic. Thanks in advance.

I would recomend using NI-VISA, National Instruments implementation of the VISA I/O standard to interface between Visual Basic and your Hardware.  Attached is a program that uses VISA commands to query an instrument.  You must know the expected commands for your instruments to use this example. 

For more references using VISA commands see the NI-VISA User Manual or the NI-VISA Help.

Opps!  I forgot to post the code:
