Hi,

You have to use a code module in any one of the supported language adapters to interface with the GPIB.

The only supplied step types are the IVI Step Types that will interface with the GPIB, assuming your instrument is IVI compatible.

There is this example

that provides a general purpose gpib step type, which is CVI based. I haven't tried it so I dont know how good it is.
