Getting GPIB commands from an old instrument.

[GeoffreyG]

I have an old instrument that is GPIB capable, but I don't have the manual containing the GPIB commands. Is there any way to get these from the instrument itself?

Hi,

This is a difficult situation. There is no standard way to communicate with instruments.

You really need to get the user manual if you want to use this instrument.

Also, check the instrument driver network www.ni.com to see if there is a driver for it. That would at least show you some of the available commands.
