Could this be the problem? PyVISA doesn’t implement VISA itself. Instead, PyVISA provides bindings to the VISA library (a DLL or “shared object” file). This library is usually shipped with your GPIB interface or software like LabVIEW. Alternatively, you can download it from your favourite equipment vendor (National Instruments, Agilent, etc). quote from this document: http://pyvisa.sourceforge.net/pyvisa.pdf _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
