how to communicate with an instrument with GPIB

[Nahed]

hi every one 

in my internship I work with labview an application which calibrates a frequency meter
I have a small problem in the GPIB communication because there are frequency meters do not have a USB port
problem is when I want to communicate with this frequency meter with GPIB, I cannot find the instrument in the application.

please any help !

Hi Nahed,

did you install VISA drivers with GPIB support?

Can you show a screenshot from MAX, with the full "Software" list open?

[Nahed]

Hi,

I ask again: did you install VISA with GPIB support?

[Nahed]

You will almost certainly need both of these packages for using GPIB interface:

NI-VISA: https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-visa.html#346210

NI-488.2 (GPIB):  https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-488-2.html#345631

[Nahed]

thank  you 😀

Hi Nahed,

please show screenshots of MAX again, for the Software tree and also for the Devices tree.

Which GPIB interface do you use?
