National instruments gpib receiving and spying data

[nebisman]

I need to find an error over a GPIB bus, and I need to spy the protocol over a gpib bus that have a GPIB active controler from a machine . I need to convert my PCI-GPIB card as nonactive controller or listener and spy the protocole over the bus. I have tried with diferent commands using the program IBIC and the configuration utility (uncheking the active controlle option) but I haven't results and ever I made a conflict over the bus. Coud you send me a complete example for do it.

thanks

National Instruments is providing a utility 'NI-Spy' to capture all the GPIB, VISA Calls.

This will be installed when you install NI PCI-GPIB card.

Run this utility and press capture to collect all the data transmitted and recieved.

You can get more low level information other than commands.
