Getting TekVisa to work with Keysight 82357B

[perdrix]

So I have an 82357B adapter, how do to I get the Tektronix software to talk to a TDS3064B hung off this? 

I installed the KeySight Instrument Control Bundle to get the driver for the 82357B.   Keysight Connection Expert sees GPIB0::14::INSTR and KeySight Interactive IO tool can send *IDN? and get the expected result:

TEKTRONIX,TDS 3064B,0,CF:91.1CT FV:v3.39 TDS3GV:v1.00 TDS3LIM:v1.00 TDS3FFT:v1.00 TDS3TRG:v1.00

BenchVue appears to be a waste of space - it doesn't even know about a 3458A!!!

All that Tektronix OpenChoiceDesktop shows me when I press "Select Instrument" is ASRL1::INSTR

So please what's the magic incantation to make this all work?

Thanks
David

I tried to use TekVISA at one point.  It wasn't used to talking to the instrument through GPIB but rather to use the Ethernet.  For GPIB, I just controlled it like any other GPIB instrument. 

In my case, that particular bit of equipment was actually slower using TekVISA with Ethernet than using GPIB!!   

In your case, the Tektronix software may not support the Keysight GPIB controller you are trying to use.
