GPIB

[Peter]

I am new to this labview program. All I got is a manual with me so I tried to
read as much as possible. I have been trying out some of the labview functions.
For the most part the programming language is not really hard to learn, execpt
for their VISA commands. When I tried to use ?*INSTR as the expression to find
my resources using FIND VISA. I could not locate any of my resource exepct for
my COM serial ports on the computer which is the ASTR1 AND ASTR2. But I have a
GPIB card address 0 attachedto the computer and also an Aligent function
generator address 19 attached to it. What can be wrong that will cause the find
visa not being able to dectect my GPIB devices. Also I am a little confused
about the explaination of the SESSION and RESOURCE
S concept and the class idea
they are using in the user manual, are they really similar to JAVA?? Also any
website that you can recommand on the using of VISA will be great.

Thank You
Peter Yu

First of all you should be sure about your GPIB card connfiguration, after that i'd start with the easy VISA's once you make your instrument to work, take a look into those easy VISA vi's, they will show you the way to go.

After that, you should check developer zone for especific drivers for your instrument, or any examples related to it.

Hope this helps
