DCL by GPIB-Clear.vi

[Peter Nyffeler]

I have to send a DCL command to initialize GPIB communication to my instrument
(PE Lambda 6 UV/VIS) spectrometer.
According the online help of the GPIB-Clear.vi should send DCL if address
string is unwired. But this just produces an error 4 message.
I checked it with LabView 5 and 6. What is the mistake I made?

The mistake is to use DCL simply use SDC
with the address off the lambda6. Even better use VISA functions instead of the old gpib routines.
