How can I send a GET (Group Execute Trigger) command with the "VISA Write VI"?

[Petric]

I have an old (1981) Yokogawa Type 2553 (DC Voltage Current Standard) with a GPIB interface and a Agilent USB to GPIB converter. So I write my commands by using the "VISA Write VI". According to the instruction manual I have to send the GET command after the other commands. How can I do this?  I tried to use the GPIB VI's, instead of the VISA, but I always get the Error 7: "NI-488:  GPIB-Interface not found" ...

Hi,

This is not an instrument error but an error of your GPIB interface. In MAX you can see if your GPIB interface is present. You can also scan for instruments there.

You can't use the low level GPIB functions because you have an Agilent controller. The low level functions are for NI only.

For VISA, use the VISA Assert Trigger.
