Common Questions
How do I communicate with my instrument over the GPIB?
Refer to the documentation that came from the instrument manufacturer.
The command sequences you use are totally dependent on the specific
instrument. The documentation for each instrument should include the
GPIB commands you need to communicate with it. In most cases, NI-488
device-level calls are sufficient for communicating with instruments. Refer
to Chapter 5, NI-488M Software Characteristics and Functions, in the
NI-488.2M Software Reference Manual, for more information.
What information should I have before I call National Instruments?
Please have the results of the diagnostic test
. You also should have
ibtsta
run
to try to find the source of your problem.
