Hi All,
I need to run a USB Test application on my infiniium scope, with the Pulse pattern Generator connected to it through GPIB. But when i use the I/O libraries to initiate the communication, for the first IDN query , the pulse pattern generator(81130A) is responding properly. from the user manual of 81130A , once it gets a IDN query it should go into remote mode. but it is not happening that way. when i send IDN query again,, it says no istrument connected. due to this, when i run my USB Test application on my Infiniium which is controlling the pulse pattern generator, it is failing saying that no pulse pattern generator is connected. because of this i cant proceed with my test. please suggest some solution for this....
sincerely,
venkat

Internal Instrument, the GPIB card is not able to become the master
controller. This means that the scope cannot control any other instruments over GPIB. The use model to control other Instruments
is via GPIB1, which is LAN based. If you try to configure GPIB0 to
an interface other than Internal Instrument you will no longer be able
to communicate with the scope.
It may be possible to configure a USB to GPIB module to control other
instruments via that GPIB interface. I have no way to test this.
