how to find instrument Information programatically

[RChoudhary]

I am trying to find all the connected instrument to the pc through GPIB bus programatically, i am using VISA Find Resource.vi but it is only showing the GPIB addresses, we also want to get the Instrument Information connected to that particular address like we get in max when we scan for instruments.

i am not getting how to do this.

Thankyou

MAX just sends an *IDN? query to the device and shows the response.

I am not getting how to send this query means through write VI we need to send this query or which vi we need to use to send this query so that in output we can get model name, module id , manufacturer name.

use visa write to write "*IDN?" to an instrument and read back the respons.

Do this for each address found in visa find.
