I have an Agilent 82357B USB GPIB and have been supplied code that uses GPIB read and write functions. I have NI-MAX and Agilent Connection Expert setup correctly. The program does not error but the write and read functions timeout and do not work. I troubleshoot wrote simple code using hte VISA functions and they work. I wrote the same code using the GPIB functions and it does not work and after I run it the code written in VISA no onger works. I know that Agilent replaces the gpib-32.dll with their version that redirects to their code.
My question is, is there anyway to make the LabVIEW GPIB calls work with an Agilent GPIB device and of course GPIB library? I believe the answer is no but I have seen a post where someone said they are doing it. I just want a definite answer before I deliver the bad news.
