Using GPIB-RS232 converter with an embedded application

[MarcusMK]

Hi

I am quite new to GPIB, so this might be a rookie question 🙂 Using my own embedded application I need to communicate with a couple of Agilent power sources to send commands and queries. I got a GPIB-RS232 converter from NI but I can't figure out from the online help wether I can directly write to the serial port attached to the NI GPIB-RS232 ans SCPI command. I would be grateful if you can help me out to find the documentation on how to communicate to several Agilent GPIB instruments connected to the NI GPIB-RS232 converter configured to work in mode S.

By the way, for testing I am developing the modules for my application on a desktop computer under linux using gcc c++ compiler.

Thank you!

I want to do a similar thing as MarcusMK.  Crossrulz that link you provide no longer works.  Could you provide a new link.

In my case, I want the GPIB-RS232 to act as a talker/listener and not as a GPIB controller.  I also want the ability to change the GPIB address without using the NI provided software.
