Communicate with the devices by sending them the 

"*IDN?"

 query and 

then reading back the responses. Many devices respond to this query by 
returning a description of the device. Refer to the documentation that came 
with your GPIB devices to see specific instruction on the proper way to 
communicate with them.

Use 

SendList

 to send the 

"*IDN?"

 query command to multiple GPIB 

devices. The address is the list of GPIB devices to be queried. The buffer 
that you pass to 

SendList

 is the command message to the device.

Use 

Receive

 for each device to read the responses from each device.

Continue communicating with the GPIB devices until you are finished.

Use 

ibonl

 to put the interface offline before you exit the application.

The following sections describe how to develop, compile, and link your 
Windows NI-488.2 applications using various programming languages.

Before you compile your Win32 C application, make sure that 
the following lines are included at the beginning of your program:

#include <windows.h>

#include "ni488.h"

To compile and link a Win32 console application named 

cprog

 

in a DOS shell, type the following on the command line:

cl cprog.c gpib-32.obj
