Thanks for the tips ajckson. We've been using the Agilent adaptors quite successfully for the past few years until now. I checked the link you suggested, and I do have Tulip enabled, but didn't have 'enable Agilent GPIB cards for 488 programs' checked. We never had to do that before, so I checked it, now I can't get LV or MAX to recognize the GPIB converter even WITH running the Agilent Connection Expert, so I'm changing it back.
Before I go through the download and installation of NI-DAQmx, can anyone confirm that MAX is included in that?
Thanks again for your help.

If you got the latest version of NI-VISA, then your version of MAX is probably current.
I really don't know what the problem could be except for some incompatibility between the latest versions of the agilent and NI software that you have. I have not had to use an Agilent GPIB controller in several years when I inherited some. I never thought it made any sense to use Agilent controllers with LabVIEW. The small difference in price did not make up for the time required to do the additional setup. Wish I could help more.

Hi,
Had the same problem a while ago. Here's what I did with Agilent 82357B..
1. Download and Install Agilent IO libraries suite 15 --> http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/product.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&ckey=1249127&nid=-536900532.731306.00&...
2. Set Agilent VISA to secondary
3. Enable VISA Tulip (as you have done already)
4. Hope it works

I am having this same issue, How do I perform steps 2 and 3? I see my instruments with agilents Visa Assistant, but I don t know where to find tulip or set VISA priority. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
