5973A MSD HPIB communication

ronin May 23, 2018 7:36 AM

I have still a 597A MSD

I had to setup the sowtware on a other computer.

Using

Windows XP-pro and Chemstation G1701DA D.03.00

The Agilent Connection Expert (IOLIB) tells me the comp see adress20

The name of the HPIB chart I have changed to hp82341

Dip switches HPIB Z, 16 and 4

After starting Chemstation I got:

no response cannot bring ms online error 204

What is wrong??

Please help

Hi,
What model hpib card do you have in the PC? Make sure the bus address is 30 in io libs. You need to scroll down to get this.

      Should be in your IO libs.

        Supplyd with G1701DA D.03.00
        Also I tried Agilent IO Libraries Suite v 16.2
        This mentioned that the hardware is connected on adress 20

        If i changed the bus address to 30, gives the same message.
        Is this the same address as mentitioned in the manuals of the 5973 set to 20?

        In the edit menu it is mentioned the serialnumber of the MSD.
        The edit menu is little bit different
        Serialnumber
        Visa Interfac Name: GPIB0
        Logical Unit: 7
        Bus Address: 30 20?

        I changed again the name of GPIB0 to hp82341 and bus adress to 30
        It's now working!
        So far, Thanks a lot, you helped me to the right direction
        
        Can you explain me about the address 30?
        
        Dip switches are on 20
        MSD Sw Configuration is on 20
