Software cmpatibility between GPIB-232CT-A and GPIB-RS232

Hello,

I control GPIB instruments from a Linux box via GPIB-232CT-A.  I don't use any NI drivers, simply send low-level GPIB exchange commands from a dedicated program written in C.  For example, in order to send *IDN?\n to device at GPIB address 15 I would write two strings to the GPIB-232CT-A (via the serial port of the Linux box):

  wrt #6 15\r\n

  *IDN?\n\n

The old GPIB-232CT-A boxes are slowly dying, and NI does not seem to sell them any more, so my question is: will these commands still work with the newer GPIB-RS232?

The old GPIB-232CT-A is very well documented here: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370898a.pdf.

My second question is: is there a similar document for the newer  GPIB-RS232?

 

Thank you!
