That would explain why it has issues connecting on the windows side... Though it sounds like there's a known issue with the GPIB-USB-HS plug and play engine. Thanks for the heads up Dave.

This looks like an unsupported clone judging by the fact that the bInterval of the interrupt Endpoint 1 is 0 in the lsusb output.

Hello, I am trying to interface with a spectrum analyzer with GPIB-USB-HS on Ubuntu 20.04. I am having issues reading and writing commands to my device. Can someone please verify if this looks normal after doing lsusb -v -d 3923? the manufacturer, product, and serial throw an error.

Sorry I didn't response earlier, I just found out yesterday evening that the inside from the NI GPIB USB HS after screwing the device open that it had a pretty bad clone from a clone inside. So maybe it has some other parameters for me unknown and that is why it doesn't work yet with linux-gpib lib. If some info is still needed I can provide it, till i can return the device. It could maybe also help to known which version works and not or maybe to get it working? So far I know it works with there normal software and in windows. So that is something to know.

Sorry for late reaction. The reply is nothing what I can see but I can see that dmesg -w on the left side is doing something on the usb port. Hope that this helps.

Hello Dave, I also try it on windows. That works perfect and that one finds the device on address 2 and also sending command it response to it how it should. I just plug the device in RPI 4 and doesn't work. Hope you could help me how to resolve this?

Hello everyone, I had some contacts in the xdev group and explain that I also couldn't get the NI USB gpib to work and needed some help. I did every step correctly so far I know. After Tin, Philipp_ and Chekhov_g also try to help me we still get a error. After trying something out and called the day I got this post from Chekhov_g and had the same challenges what I had. The ibtest when I send something I will get this:

gpib status is:
ibsta = 0x8100 < ERR CMPL >
iberr= 0
EDVR 0: OS error

I know for sure the device selected was correct and also address also because I tested it in windows and works perfect.

So chejhov_g recommend it to dump my sudo lsusb -v -d 3923:
here and maybe you guys know why it doesn't get it to work on RPI with linux_gpib 4.3.4

Thanks Giorgio for the update. I gathered as much from the thread but still hoping to get this working. I will pursue this on my end and see if I can figure out what is happening. Been a while since I did gpib but it should come back to me.
