Hello, I have a NEFF 470 with an HPIB interface. I'm trying to retrofit with a USB/GPIB adapter.
I have an Agilent 82357B and have gone through the steps to enable a side-by-side VISA installation, i.e. Enabling the tulip dll in MAX and 488.2 in The Keysight Connection Expert software.
The device shows up in MAX. I have also located a driver listed as plug and play here: All of the commands used in the library, however, are GPIB, and none seem to work - even simple clear commands. I have read somewhere that these GPIB commands are incompatible with the Agilent GPIB/USB VISA and that I will need to use an NI adapter. This I can deal with, as long as I know this is the issue, i.e. Before spending $600 on another adapter.

I have also tried using raw serial VISA read/write commands, which seem to work. I am not sure I can translate the entire library (or what I need of it) from GPIB commands to VISA, but if this would work I am also open to that. Thanks, Colin.
