Python Libraries For Agilent 82357b On Mac

1. Introduction

We have met several issues which related with power on/off operation. The failure rate is extremely low which is not efficiency for manual operation. So we would like to setup an automatic testing environment. The GPIB(General Purpose Interface Bus) is the way to control the instrument. This article shows how to control the Agilent E3631A (Triple Output DC Power Supply).

4. NI driver installation

Pyvisa has been tested with NI-VISA 3.2, which needs us to install its driver.Download and install NIVISA541full.exe from following link http://www.ni.com/download/ni-visa-5.4.1/4626/en/

Jan 28, 2014  Hi, I am trying to get our 82357B GPIB-USB adapter to work in a virtual machine. I am using VirtualBox 4.2.16 (with the expansion pack but the problems w/o it are the same) on a ubuntu 12.04 host (3.11 kernel). Hi, I have an Agilent GPIB / USB adapter 82357B, and I'm experiencing some problems for detecting my instruments in the laboratory when I try to use the labview software for capturing the data from the measurement instruments. I installed the CD with the libraries the adapter has and through this software I can detect the instruments, however once that I open the Labview software from National.
