Using IEEE 488 5-5
How can I verify that my Personal488 interface is installed and working?
This section consists of a 6-step walk-through in which Wintest is used to verify instrument
communication.
Step 1
Launch Wintest from the Programs
menu.
Step 2
Select ‘Wave[-1]’ from the devHandle
drop down box.
Step 3
Press the OpenName button.
A Hello window will open and display
driver revisions.
Note: If an error occurred and the
Hello window did not appear, then the
installation failed and Wintest did not
access the drivers. If this occurs run
the installation program found on the
IEEE 488 Software CD.
Step 4
Connect an IEEE 488 instrument to
the Personal488 interface.
