SR830 connection with GPIB

Hello, 

 

I want to connect sr830 via GPIB using USB adpter for that. Can you advise me what I need to make this scheme work properly? Any drivers except one for sr830 connection via GPIB? Does it matter which adapter I use (as I am concerned NI has its own one)?

 

Thanks in advance!

You don't really provide enough detail to give you good advice.  How do you plan to control the SR830?  Using LabVIEW, python, matlab, C, Fortran?  What brand of USB-GPIB adaptor are you using?  (NI, Keithley/Tektronix, HP/Agilent/Keysight, Prologix, etc..) 

 

If you are using LabVIEW and NI-USB-GPIB then you need to install NI-VISA drivers.  After that you can use the LabVIEW driver VIs for the SR830 or just send commands thru VISA.

 

If you are using LabVIEW and a non NI model of USB-GPIB adaptor, than you need to install NI-VISA and also the vendor specific VISA drivers.  Then you need to follow the instructions in the following article to get both VISA drivers to coexist and work together. https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YHh0CAG&l=en-CA

 

If you are using a different programming environment and a different model of USB-GPIB adaptor then you need to install all the appropriate drivers from those vendors.  

 

Hope that helps.

Craig
