Agilent USB/GPIB interface 82357A and DAQmx

[fragrance2008]

Hi,

I just start to learn labview. When I use DAQmx in labview and try to create communication with Agilent USB/GPIB interface 82357A , there is error message: no supported devices found. But there is a multimeter 3458A connected to the GPIB and it can be detected by MAX.

I don't know the reason of this problem. Could anybody give me some hints?

DAQMx is for communicating with IOcards from NI for DAQ and ADC and digital IO

VISA is for communicating with instruments like the 3458A and an instrumentdriver that helps to communicate is found on the driver pages http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/

the specific driver I would prefer is the project style driver.

IVI looks nicer but is much more difficult to setup and debug, and offering the not much more.

LabVIEW

Plug and Play (project-style)

IEEE 488.2 (GPIB)

Yes

I still don't quite understand.  Do you mean DAQmx can't work with multimeter 3458A ?

[Albert.Geven]

Why should it

My questions sound stupid.

Thank you.
