Hello,
This is similar to a previous post of mine, but a different question.
I have gotten a hold of 2 Fluke 789 multimeters. 1 was version 1.01 and the 2nd was Version 2.02

With the code below, I can connect to the version 1.01 all day long. But it will not connect to the version 2.02

Code:
Option Explicit
    
    Dim ioMgr As VisaComLib.ResourceManager
    Dim instrAny As VisaComLib.FormattedIO488
    Dim instrQuery As String
    Dim instrAddress As String
Public Sub Intialize_Click()

On Error GoTo ioError
    
    instrAddress = Range("B4").Value
    
    Set ioMgr = New VisaComLib.ResourceManager
    Set instrAny = New VisaComLib.FormattedIO488
    Set instrAny.IO = ioMgr.Open("ASRL3::INSTR")
    Dim serInfc As VisaComLib.ISerial
    Set serInfc = instrAny.IO
    serInfc.BaudRate = 9600
    serInfc.FlowControl = ASRL_FLOW_NONE
    serInfc.Timeout = 10000
    instrAny.IO.SendEndEnabled = True
    instrAny.IO.TerminationCharacter = 13          ' could be 10 (line feed) or 13 (carriage return)
    instrAny.IO.TerminationCharacterEnabled = True
    instrAny.IO.Timeout = 10000
 
    Exit Sub
ioError:
    MsgBox "An IO error occured:" & vbCrLf & Err.Description
End Sub

Public Sub cmdSendIDN_Click()
    
    On Error GoTo ioError
          
    instrAny.WriteString ("ID")
    
    MsgBox "ID has been sent to Instrument"
    
    Exit Sub
ioError:
    MsgBox "An IO error occured:" & vbCrLf & Err.Description
End Sub
Public Sub cmdReadIDN_Click()
    
    On Error GoTo ioError
               
    
    instrQuery = instrAny.ReadString()
    If instrQuery = 0 Then
    instrQuery = instrAny.ReadString()
    End If
    
    
    
    MsgBox instrQuery, , "Instrument response to ID"
        
    Exit Sub
ioError:
    MsgBox "An IO error occured:" & vbCrLf & Err.Description
        
        
End Sub
Public Sub instrclose_Click()
    
    On Error GoTo ioError
          
    instrAny.IO.Close
    MsgBox "Connection Closed"
    
    Exit Sub
ioError:
    MsgBox "An IO error occured:" & vbCrLf & Err.Description
End Sub

I have sent Fluke an email looking for a copy of the commands for the newer version. No luck on getting an answer
So I was wondering if anyone knows how to connect to a Fluke 789 Version 2.X Processmeter using Excel VBA. or maybe even send me in the right direction.

Any help would be greatly appreciate.

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
