Running the three lines of Python i just get:
Exception in comms call get_value:
? File "C:\Users\Neil\anaconda3\envs\pyvisa_py\lib\site-packages\spyder_kernels\comms\commbase.py", line 344, in _handle_remote_call
? ? self._set_call_return_value(msg_dict, return_value)
lots of similar lines and then:
ValueError: ctypes objects containing pointers cannot be pickled
So i dont even thing the PC (running Windows 10) is seeing even the usb GPIB adapter which is plugged in the the usb port of the laptop inspite of all the NI code downloaded and installed. The GPIB adapter is just plugged inthe 8510C and the device is running normally with all the cables connected.
I'll have a look for the NI tools to see if it can find the adapter.
many thanks, Neil
