why the serial number table show "Not available" , normal??
Have you managed to solve this problem yet? If not, I have some suggestions.
It is normal for the serial number to show "Not Avaiable" for the GPIB-ENET/100.
The error you described it actually cut off. You will be able to read the entire message if you make the Instrument column larger. The "..." means that the message does not fit in the box.
The full message is "There was an error performing this instrument scan." This still does not tell you much, but at least we know there isn't any important information hidden.
I would suggest you try two things:
1. Use the GPIB Troubleshooting Utility (Possible called GPIB Troubleshooter, depending on your version), to perform a self-test of the GPIB-ENET/100. If the problem is due to basic communication with the GPIB-ENET/100, such as a conflicting IP address, this should fail.
2. If the self-test passes, open and enable NI I/O Trace while trying the scan for instrument. This will log all of the NI-488.2 API calls performed by the scan, helping to identify where the scan is failing. Assuming the scan files with I/O Trace capturing, post the .iotrace file here, so we can take a look at it.
