It appears that the Visadev function performs a *IDN? when trying to open the connection to a GPIB instrument. This allows it to populate the the information such as model, etc. The issue is that some instruments do not support *IDN? and of those instruments there are some that need the EOIMode set to off in order to function correctly.
So is there a way to suppress sending the *IDN? when using the visadev or is there a way to specify the identity command it is using? Also, is there a way to set the EOIMode before calling visadev? Because it seems like the only way this works now is that you call visadev to connect to the device, it errors out because it needs EOIMode off first and it did not understand what *IDN? command was. At this point you would have to clear the error on the instrument caused by sending an unknown command each time a connection was made.It appears that the Visadev function performs a *IDN? when trying to open the connection to a GPIB instrument.
