PCI-GPIB for newport ESP300

[Qchao]

I am not able to find the ESP 300, by instrument scanning. I am using PCI GPIB card for communation.

As this instrument does not follow the SCPI conventions for IEEE-488, it may not recognize the instrument under NI-Max.  To get a response if properly connected, enter:

1 ID ?

which must be followed by a <CR> to instruct the instrument to respond to the request.  A response to the previous request should be something like:

TS50DC.5, SN1263

Hi,

Thanks for your help. 

I am not sure from where to type "1ID ?" and <CR>. I tried on windows CMD. It does not work.

Which software should I use for this command?

Thanks

You can try using this simple VISA communication vi.

Hi Minions, 

Do you have the Labview 08 Version. I can not open a Labview2013 vi.

Thanks a lot!

Do you have Labview 08 version? I am not able to open labview2013 vi. Actually, the self-test of the GPIB is fine. But I am not able to use it for communication with ESP300 by labview or the ESP300 software. The ESP300 could be communicated by RS232. The ESP300 could also be found on another computer by GPIB. There might be something wrong with the GPIB on current computer Win Xp 32bits.

Could you help to figure out what's wrong?

Thanks.
