NI GPIB IDN ERROR

[Kiran474]

I have a GPIB device connected to my system, but I get an error when I try to scan for instruments using *IDN? command. The description says: "Binary Information received" After instrument timeout error is dispayed please find the attached image FYR.

Suggest is NI-GPIB card is defective or it can be solve by doing s/w update.

It might help to tell us what GPIB device you are using.  Is the instrument SCPI compatible (should it respond to *IDN?)?  Did you use the right termination character(s)?

It seems like your NI-GPIB device is working, and that you got a response.  What isn't clear is what you were expecting or what the instrument should return.

More details would help.
