control NI controler with agilent GPIB adaptor

[franzkiki]

Hi,

I am trying to use my PC to control a x-y positioner wiht Matlab. The motion controller is a Newport ESP-300, using a GPIB port to communicate with the PC. I can send instructions to the motion controler with a National Instruments USB-GPIB-HS adaptor, but when I use a Agilent 82357A GPIB-USB adaptor the controler won't respond to the queries I send.

Can somebody help me out?

Thx

Francois
