Problem: I have configured my NI GPIB-485CT-A in serial mode, but now how do I communicate with my GPIB device? Solution: To communicate using the GPIB-485CT-A isn't as straight forward as using GPIB directly. In order to send the command *IDN? to a GPIB device with address 5, you will need to send the following command over the serial bus. WRT\s5\r*IDN?\nRD\s#100\s5\n Translated, this is Write <space> <device address> <enter> <command> <line feed> Read<space><#number of bytes><space> <address><line feed> Note: Replace the <command> section with whatever command you would like to send. If you are expecting some response from the device only then the read part should follow. Related Links: Product Manuals: GPIB-232/485CT-A User Manual and Specifications Attachments:
