TCPIP USB MISC LIKE GPIB MISC

[Qualcomm]

I used to use GPIB misc a lot to send code through GPIB after VISA is closed to set instrument to local, etc. Now I am try to control the instrument through USB and TCPIP, it seems there is no corresponding MISC VI for USB and TCPIP such as GPIB MISC. Is there any way to do 'loc' function under TCPIP/USB connection after VISA is closed?

Hello Qualcomm,

From my understanding of your situation, you can have a similar functionality by using a property node to check the status of the device from the VISA palette.  By using the property node you achieve similar functionality to the GPIB Misc VI.  How Do I Set and Get the Status of the GPIB REN Line in LabVIEW? is a KnowledgeBase article further expounds upon this idea.
