Virtualbench (VB-8012) Visa Compatibility

Hello everyone,

 

I'm starting fresh with Visa because I will need it for my bachelor thesis. For trying out some basic things I got my hands on a VB-8012. I tried to find information about available VISA commands for this hardware and settings but I couldn't find any documentation from NI helping me with this.

I can open the instrument with VISA, so I assume in general its compatible but whatever query I send I receive a timeout. Based on further research this is a common error and propably caused by either a wrong query message or invalid settings for termination or port. I'm having trouble setting this up because as mentioned I couldn't find any documentation from NI about Visa support of this hardware. 

Does anyone know where I could find further information or has some experience controlling VB-8012 or similar with VISA?

 

Thank you very much in advance

Hello, florianbw92

 

As I can understand, you want to know, by which version of visa driver you can use VirtualBench, right?

Please correctly if I am wrong
