Problem initializing 5620 digitizer

[Metrikos]

Trying to run example provided - Getting Started. When niScope_init is executed I get an error - BFFF0011 telling me the "Insufficient location information or ... device not found".

MAX does see the device and for the name I enter the information from MAX - PXI12::15::INSTR. I also tried to set up an alias using rename - same result, same error. At the same time MAX says the device is there, it is fine and I can run the NI-SCOPE soft panel just fine.

HELP!!!

What can cause that?

It looks like you're using the VISA name for the device.  NI-Scope is expecting an IVI session, IVI logical name, or a DAQ name for the device instead.  In MAX, under Devices and Interfaces, look for the 5620 under Traditional NI-DAQ Devices.  It will have a certain DAQ number.  Use this number in the resource name like the following example: "DAQ::1"

Hope that works.
