GPIB-ENET/1000: Can ping IP but unable to communicate with GPIB instruments

[Chakib11]

Hello all, 

I have a problem with GPIB communication.
I have configured the instruments correctly as I usually do but this time I can't find the GPIB instruments either by using labview drivers or by scanning the instruments via NImax (GPIB connected instruments are not detected).

What I did :
- Update NImax and NI488...
- Reset of the instruments
- Change of GPIB cable
- Change of GPIB address on the instruments
- I also unplugged all the instruments and leave only one
- Change of GPIB-ENET/1000
- Reboot the PC

- Reboot the GPIB-ENET/1000
- Ping of the ip address on which the GPIB-ENET/1000 is configured

would you have other ideas to propose me please ?

Hello.

I think it is necessary to isolate whether it is a GPIB-ENET / 1000 problem or a measuring instrument problem.
Is it possible to communicate with the target instrument when using a controller that is directly connected to a PC, such as a normal GPIB-USB-HS?

Did you check your drivers that device only works with certain GPIB driver versions.  You should be OK unless you updated LabVIEW and not the driver.  LV2020 only works with the GPIB 20.0 driver.  BTW the ENET/100 is picky and probably will not work with anything past LV2017.
