I'm trying to build up a test bench using Agilent VISA and a GPIB-USB adaper.. Connected the first instrument, a 3478A DMM, and it was recognized by Agilent connection expert fine, detecting it as GPIB0::17:INSTR.
I gave it an alias "DMM" and can program it fine via the PC now in any language.

Next I connected a 53132A counter. This time, Agilent Connection Manager is not seeing the instrument.

Any ideas? Do I need to install a driver? If so, where can I get a VISA driver for a 53132A counter?

Thanks
