suplado602 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi all: is it possible to send VISA commands to a remote VISA enabled GPIB device through I.P.? I have a remote GPIB instrument connected to a computer where the VISA driver is installed and wondering if i could make a program in my computer to send commands to that instrument...

flyingboz Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi all:is it possible to send VISA commands to a remote VISA enabled GPIB device through I.P.?RTFM . Directly from the help file: _viExecCommand --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Send a Command/Query to an Instrument/Device through the VISA interface (GPIB /TCP)I think that would strongly imply that it is possible . Reading the help file before you post... Not only will it make you look smarter, it will make you smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suplado602 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 RTFM . Directly from the help file: I think that would strongly imply that it is possible .it says GPIB"/"TCP (and/or)... my question is GPIB "through" TCP...

suplado602 Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 You could create a VPIB Server script that you leave on the GPIB computer and write a GPIB client that you run from a network connected PC... Send commands via TCP and the server will enact them...Convenience is rarely convenient.LAr.thanks for the input larry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
