gpib communication
Hi,
There are several possible reasons.
1) Have u install the GPIB card driver properly ?
2) Is the GPIB cable plug in properly ?
3) I am not sure how NI GPIB explorer works, but just can try change the GPIB address of the equipment to factory default.
4) If u are familiar with Labview or Agilent Vee even Ansi C, u can try write simple codes to communicate with the equipments, that would be able to isolate any hardware connection fault.
Hope it helps.
