Hi Rusty,
If you are having trouble downloading from our website, first I would make sure you are logged into the website. Most downloads require that you are logged in, you can create a login
here. Once you get the instrument simulator downloaded and installed. You can reference the
Ni-488.2 user manual for more advice on programing a listener. Simply, you will need to unselect "system controller" in Measurement and Automation Explorer then read the bus. I hope this helps you get started.
Cheers,
