Communicating with Kikusui PFX 40W-08 via GPIB

[farlj17]

I'm trying to work with a discontinued Kikusui PFX 40W-08 and have a GPIB-USB-HS. This is my first time working with LabView and GPIB, so I don't have much knowledge about either. I'd like to use LabView to run some charge/discharge tests, but there is no driver specifically for this product. I have NI 488.2 downloaded but can't get it to work with the tester either. There is a PWX Series instrument driver that I was able to download, but I do not know if I can use it with the PFX. 

Any suggestions/resources are welcome, thanks.

Seeing how I do not have the manual for this instrument.

Does the instrument show in NI-Max?  

> If it does:

• It might support SCPI
  1. Click on the instrument under Devices and Interfaces
  2. Click over to the Input/Output tab
  3. Enter *IDN?\n and Click Query
  4. Does a valid response occur?
• It might support a version prior to SCPI or a custom command version
  1. Same
  2. Same
  3. Enter ID?\n or *IDN\n
  4. Same

> If it does not, it may either be a different setup like Modbus or it may be using the initial IEEE-488 communications.

Here is a manual and chapter 5-3 describes the GPIB interface. Definitely NOT SCPI! The identification query seems to be "IDN ?". Notice the space before the question mark.
