Hi everybody, We've got a MS2601B, Anritsu Spectrum Analyzer that can do EMI measurements connected to a computer via GPIB port.
Recently we changed the GPIB card to a new one (National Instruments, model: 183617"k"-01, and the NI488.2 protocol ). And all the other instruments worked well but the Anritsu. I have a problem when I send instructions as IBWRT or IBRD, the device doesn't make anything, but it works when I send IBCLR or IBLOC, so I don't know what happens to it. I was working perfectly with the old HPIB card, and using instructions as IOOUTPUTS or IOENTERS. I'm doing my programs en TurboC (old card) and in Delphi (new one). I don't use Labview. Maybe to communicate with this Spectrum Analyzer it's necessary to compile the programs with a special file or library that I don't have. Also when i start the MAX 2.0 (Measurement & Automation Explorer) NI program, doesn't answer to the *IDN? query or to the specific commands (to control de instrument) I send to it. Does anybody have an idea of what is or what can be the problem? Need your help, please. Thanks, Joan Castell Guillem Mello Polytechnic University, Catalonia.
