Third Party devices detection


Recommended Posts

That's an extremely broad question. Are the devices PCI cards or connected through a communication port? What type of communication (e.g., RS232, GPIB, Ethernet, USB)? What type of devices? You are going to need to provide some information about these for people to have an answer.

My instrument containing the following interfaces:

1.) Ethernet

2.) RS-232

3.) GPIB

I agree with asbo that you're going to need to read some manuals. Some thoughts are:

  • Ethernet has a ping to determine if an IP address is used, but that won't tell you what is connected.
  • RS232 will have something or nothing connected to the port.
  • GPIB instruments typically use SCPI commands, so a "*IDN?" will tell you what is there. Some RS232 and Ethernet devices do the same.
