For some reason that I can't figure out, when I'm trying to run NI-MAX to detect instruments through a GPIB-USB cable, the computer can detect that I have a cable connected, but not the intrument I've connected the cable to. Even worse, there's not even a button anywhere in the program that I can find that allows me to scan for the instrument, like there's supposed to be.
A little more info:
I'm using an Agilent 82357B cable and I've already installed the current keysight IO Library, which is how I got the program to detect the cable to begin with. The cable reads ready at the end (where as it read as fail before, which is how I know the program acknowledges the cable's existance). The instruments I'm attempting to use are all Agilent instruments, and I'm using the E3631A power source to test. I've also installed the driver for the instrument in the instr.lib folder, as some other tutorials and my mentor has recommended. I'm also using windows 8, which could be the reason why, but I'm hoping it isn't.
Thanks for the help and advice in advance
