I am trying to control a Tektronix TDS 3034B oscilloscope over Ethernet. I have set up the scope in Measurement & Automation Explorer and am able to open a VISA session using the "Validate" button. However, when I use VISA test panel to write "*IDN?\n" and read the reply, I get the following:
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue\r\n
\r\n
HTTP/1.1 501 Method Not Implemented. Expecting GET, HEAD, or POST.\n\r
\n

<H2>501 - Not Implemented</H2><P>Method Not Implemented. Expecting GET, HEAD, or POST.\n\r
\n
</BODY></HTML>\r\n
and return status xBFFF003E.
Does anyone know what this means? I've been unable to use the TDS 3000 driver I downloaded from NI and I think this is part of the problem.
Thanks,
Ricardo

Did you select VXI-11 or RAW? I'm not sure which method the scope supports. I would hope the manual would explain but since there are only three options for a network device, you can quickly try all and see if you get better results.

Thanks for the reply. The problem was fixed by selecting VXI-11 instead of RAW.
