Hi Vanny,

 

a suggestion in addition to previous comment:

In a good organized lab all the devices get a label (sticker) with all relevant information (like device address)!

Better devices show their address when switching on...

Best regards,
GerdW

Hi Vanny,

 

ok, you have a nice R&S connected by GPIB. That's enough information...

 

You can:

- watch the device while booting

- grab the R&S manual to get information on retrieving device address

- start MAX to scan the GPIB bus for devices

 

Probably there are some more methods, but these should succeed Smiley Wink

Best regards,
GerdW

Hi vanny,

 

MAX = Measurement and Automation eXplorer, should be installed with LabView...

 

Btw.: Which LV version do you use?

Best regards,
GerdW

Hi vanny,

 

when you have installed LabView with device drivers (which you should have done due to GPIB connection) you will find MAX on the desktop or in the Windows start menu...

 

Hey I don't know the R&S manual - you have it and you have to read it. I would look for chapters like device settings or communication settings...

Best regards,
GerdW

GerdW is correct you need to RTFM...

 

Also make sure you have Ni-VISA and NI-488.2  installed I think either one of these would have also installed the Ni Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) Inside MAX you can scan for instruments and determine their addresses. Also what I have been doing lately is using MAX to assign VISA aliases to my devices. Then I do not have to remember what address they are on I can just select the name I gave it in the VISA I/O control...

 

Also here is an old (LV 5.1) vi left from one of my predecessors, it does a quick and dirty GPIB search and gets the iden? of any connected devices and lines that up with the address that it responded on. It only goes up to address 16. If you need higher or lower addresses simply change the constant on the for-loop.
