Hi ,
i am trying to monitor how many times the instrument status like how many times the communication has happened between PC and instrument in a day or if it is idle on a system . Is there any VISA command that can be used to check the number of times the instrument is called or any other way to do so ?
Thank you

NI-Spy ??
Wireshark?
Depending on the instrument, some count relay switches, last recal etc
If you run you own program, no problem to add your own log-file

Hi Henrik,
Thanks for your reply.
regarding NI-SPY , i guess we need to run it in background always while running the main program and also i am not sure if it work for 3rd party instrument.
yes we can do something like data logging , however i was looking if there is any function in windows or any VISA function which can tell how many times the communication has happened .
Thanks.
