Keithley 195A not in remote

[Astro-Pete]

I work with W95, GPIB-PCIIa and Visual Basic 6 and have problems to get measured data of temperature from te Keithley 195A. After initialization with 'Call ibwrt(KEITHLEY195A_UD%, "F6X")' the device displays 'not in remote', doing the same with the 'Measurement & Automation Explorer' works fine.

Listing:
Call ibdev(Board%, Nr%, 0, T10s, 1, 0, KEITHLEY195A_UD%)
Call ibclr(KEITHLEY195A_UD%)
Call ibwrt(KEITHLEY195A_UD%, "F6X")

Thanks

Hi,
Have you been able to get the examples to work? The best example (If your instrument supports 488.2 compliant) is the Query488 example written in VB. You can usually locate this example in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-488.2\Languages\Visual Basic\Query4882. I would also recommend checking out the devquery example usually located in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-488.2\Languages\Visual Basic\Devquery. Try these out and see if you can communicate properly. If you can, examine the program flow and model your program after it!

Hi,
the Call SendIFC(Board%) during initialization of my program caused the 'not in remote' of the Keithley195A.
After removing SendIFC I can communicate properly with the Keithley195A.

Thanks, Peter G.
