Hi, currently i using the agilent 82357B USB GPIB, can give complete example VB6 source code want to know how to use for ibwrt and ibrd command to communicate with the instrument algar AT8000. example: i want to read the version from algar AT8000. I using the VISA command only can communicate the algar version only. If can give me also example how to control the algar AT8000 with VISA command. thanks.

The subject makes no sense. You have an Agilent GPIB controller and you would need an NI controller to use ibwrt and ibrd.

Are you using any NI hardware or software? If not, why are you posting to this board?

It doesn't matter whether you use an NI product or an Agilent product. Both will let you control the power supply.

When you install NI-VISA, example programs are also installed. These example programs included ones for VB6. Go to Start Menu -> National Instruments -> NI-VISA
