Hello
I am having problems with a visual basic screen dump program written by Agilent.
When used with gpib it works great.And when reading the bas file it explains how to make it work with lan--
' Open the session. Note: For E4406A, to use LAN, change the string to
' "TCPIP0::xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::inst0::INSTR" where xxxxx is the IP address
status = viOpen(defrm, "GPIB0::18::INSTR", 0, 0, vi)
If (status < 0) Then GoTo VisaErrorHandler
It doesnt work,and I believe it is missing socket information.
Could one please tell what to do?
TIA

Try using "gpib7,18" instead of "inst0". The older instruments have an embedded SICL-LAN server that was configured differently than the current instruments. The default VISA address would have been "TCPIP0::xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx::gpib7,18::INSTR". Here is also a link to the Programming Manual for the E4406A that has a section on setting up the SICL-LAN server in Chapter 2.
