I'm writing a Labview to talk with an Agilent 81250 ParBert via GPIB to call up a Setting in the ParBert device, run it & stop. If you have a Labview sample, please help me & share. Thanks.

Also i'm looking for this StrToVisaIO.vi, do you have it ? Thanks.

Unfortunately, NI does not have an instrument driver available for this particular instrument. I might suggest contacting the vendor to see if they have any developed.

Also, if you have the latest patch/update to LabVIEW 6.0, you can use simple coersion or typecasting to push a string VISA Address to the VISA I/O type.

Thanks, Ryan.

The 81250 software contains a plug-n-play driver that can be accessed from LabView. There is an example and instructions for LabView at the Agilent home page. Perform a quick search on +81250 +labview. The first link (at least that I received) was "LabView start-up program". This should help you out.

I'm doing a practical training at Agilent, when I found your question. My manager is responsible for the Agilent 81250 support and could possibly provide you with an example or answer other questions.
