Controlling thermotron 2800 using lab view 2010

[karthy_89]

I am  using agilent 82357B GPIB - USB cable to control thermotron 2800 using lab view 2010

I could find the device in the MAX tool by enabling the NIVIsa tulip.dll option under passports

If i send the Read operation request under VISA test panel ,it always shows up the error "Time out before the operation completed " (Refer attachment)

I am getting the same error even in the VISA Read operation in LAB view .

Is the problem due to the agilent cable incompatibility?

Also ,It would be great if i get the sample vi's that has the GPIB settings and basic commands

(status, setting temperature , etc ) used to control thermotron 2800

Thanks

LabVIEW and IVI libraries are at http://www.thermotron.com/support/instrumentation/IVI-LabVIEW-Drivers

Double check your manual about the command you are sending and wherever or not the termination character is required. GPIB instruments normally require only EOI and not the line feed you are sending.
