Dear Members, Does anyone know what is the driver, and how can I obtain it, for the above referenced GPIB interface? I found this card and its cable from our warehouse (which means no one uses it for a long time). The software came with this interface is the "HP I/O Libraries". Since my computer is a Pentium 4 with Window XP Pro (with SP 2), I downloaded the latest version of the "Agilent IO Libraries Suite 14.2" from the Agilent web site. My HP8591E spectrum analyzer showed "CMD ERR:IDN" and "SRQ 140" while I tried to communicate with it through the Interactive IO of the Connection Expert. If I "Send Commands To This Instrument" by clicking the "GBIB0::18::INSTR" under the "Instrument I/O on This PC", my spectrum analyzer showed no error message. The "Instrument Session History" under Interactive IO showed "*Connected to:GPIB0::18::INSTR". I guess the communication is OK but I cannot use "*IDN?" command (from 488.2). I think I have to obtain a correct version of driver. I try to use visual basic 6 (VB 6) to control the IEEE 488 devices. I haven't had any luck. If this is not a good version to VB 6, my employer has <http://VB.NET> VB.NET and VB 2005, which can be installed in a day. It would be of great help that someone can provide me with a simple program (such as reset the device) to start with. Any comment is highly appreciated!
