Re: hp 5385A or hp 5386A LV Drivers? HPIB seems to Predate VISA Spec?

Hi Briancam
How many instruments are you attempting to use in total? Is it 15 ?
>Your first message indicates7GPIB instruments and 8 viaPXI chasis.

If I recollect correctly is that not a limit of 15 instruments connected to GPIb controller.

Have you attempted to check that there are no address conflicts ?
As stated previously first try and just connect the hp5385A
instrument,use NI spy and generic driver (labview)to communicate with
recieve commands.
If sucessful add a PXI instruments. Continue to build up instrument stack, also check that all interface cables
as instruments are 'joined' are connected correctly.
