I'm trying to work with a discontinued Kikusui PFX 40W-08 and have a GPIB-USB-HS. This is my first time working with LabView and GPIB, so I don't have much knowledge about either. I'd like to use LabView to run some charge/discharge tests, but there is no driver specifically for this product. I have NI 488.2 downloaded but can't get it to work with the tester either. There is a PWX Series instrument driver that I was able to download, but I do not know if I can use it with the PFX.
Any suggestions/resources are welcome, thanks.

Seeing how I do not have the manual for this instrument.
Does the instrument show in NI-Max?

Here is a manual and chapter 5-3 describes the GPIB interface. Definitely NOT SCPI! The identification query seems to be "IDN ?". Notice the space before the question mark.
