I need to control my WiNET Test Set (N8300A) over LAN using Labview..
I am able to connect and write the SCPI Command *IDN? to the instrument
but I get a timeout error while reading the response..
But the same sequence seems to work fine with the Interactive IO from Agilent Connection expert.
Any thoughts on this ? :?

When you use the Agilent Interactive IO, the Agilent VISA DLL is used to communicate with the instrument. If both NI VISA and Agilent VISA are installed together, than Labview will use the NI VISA DLL. Labview can use Agilent VISA. Please first uninstall NI VISA and then go to Add/Remove programs and repair the installation of Agilent IO Suite, so that Agilent IO Suite will add the VISA.DLL to point to the Agilent VISA DLL, so that Labview will be able to use Agilent’s VISA instead of NI’s. NI’s VISA works well with Agilent GPIB cards, but it doesn’t work well with Agilent LAN Gateways or Agilent LAN enabled instruments.
Hope this helped -
