The forums seem to be working okay, I wonder if there is a firewall
issue. You can upload the files to ftp.ni.com in the Incoming folder.
Zip them up and name them BCLioness.zip and post here when you have
done that and I'll take a look at them. Sorry for all the trouble.

Lori,
Again, this is a very intriguing problem. When the bus is broken
and the offending instrument is on it, do you get the error in MAX
that says that it could not find any instruments, or does it simply
not tell you anything after you hit Scan for instruments? Looking
at your SPY file, I see
It simply doesn't tell me anything, looks blank like it would if there
were no instruments to find. Thanks for telling me I can still use
the instrument in LabVIEW applications, I tried it and it works, which
is the main thing I needed.
Thanks again,
Lori
Sorry about that, the site has been saying it's down for maintenance
when I try to attach the files, I have been checking since Friday and
it still isn't working ... is there something else I should try to get
you these files?
Hi Lori,
Your attachments are all showing 0 bytes, could you try them again?
Thanks,

4 other instruments are on the bus, but I tried taking all them off
and just having the 4083, and it didn't get listed in MA. NI spy
tracks the commands sent over the GPIB bus, it shows red color when
there is an error. When I look at it after searching for instruments,
it shows successful
Hello,
Could you give me more details about your GPIB setup? How many
instruments do you have on the bus? It sounds like the 4083 is
breaking the GPIB bus where no other instruments can communicate on
the bus when you have the 4083 connected, is this what you're seeing?
What do you mean that
idn? gives the status of the front panel (C 0 0 0 ... ), IBIC shows me
the 4083 at address 18 (not used on any other equipment). When I have
the 4083 hooked up to the network, none of the equipment is listed on
Measurement Automation, although NI Spy shows it sees everything,
including the 4083.
