I am unable to see the Serial number of the GPIB interfaced device in NIMAX,all other information i am able to retrieve using *IDN? but in the place of Serial number it is always zero for GPIB devices.
for example : Agilent Technologies, N3300A,0,A.00.08
Solved! Go to Solution.

The programming manual for that device states:
So 0 for the serial number is a completety valid response of the device according to its documentation. There is only one chance for you to get the serial number with the IDN? query: Keysight might have changed that behaviour with a newer version of the devices firmware. So you might try to update the device to the latest available firmware . But don't expect , that will fix it.
