solartron 1255 b labview driver

[Enea]

Hi to everybody,
does anyone know if the labview drivers for the 1260 solartron analyzer are suitable for 1255b solartron analyzer?
There are no drivers available on the NI site (nor at the solartron producer site) for the 1255b analyzer so i tried to use the 1260 driver but labview gives me some errors when trying the example codes. Thanks for any answer.

Usually instruments from the same model family have similar command sets. The most likely reason you're getting an error using the 1260 drivers is because in the Initialize VI if you have "ID Query" turned on, the VI will send out an *IDN? command, and verify the response is "1260". Well, you're not going to get "1260" from the 1255b, so the VI will generate an error. If this is the error that you're getting, either modify the VI to change the string it's looking for (as shown in attachment), or don't ask for the ID.
