LabWindows/CVI 5.5 for GPIB communication

[flobauer]

Hello!

I'm a GPIB rookie and can't get my GPIB devices to talk with LabWindos/CVI:
For the GPIB devices I am using (FWBell 7030 Gaussmeter, Keithley 6514 Electrometer) are no instrument modules available (at least I can't find any).
How can I talk with these devices, using the IEEE488(.2) functions in LabWindows 5.5?
If I use these functions (i.e. Send / Receive), I allway get error messages and the devices don't redspond and sometimes they show error messages.
How do I address a device on the GPIB Bus?

Every idea is welcome, I need all the help I can get.
Thank you!"

Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument either. This leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at:
http://zone.ni.com/idnet/other.htm
We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.

If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://zone.ni.com/idnet/development.htm

There may be a similar driver on ni.com/idnet that can be used as a model.

We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments'
products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:
