Connecting keithley 2400 via a Keithley GPIB-USB Cable

[Jezzabel]

Hello,

I am not very skilled with IT or LabVIEW (we use LabVIEW 2011), I am just a student whose task it is to take measurements via a keithley 2400 source meter. This device was conncected with PCMCIA-GBIP and the connection worked finde. After an Update, I couldn't find the source in LabVIEW anymore and it wasn't visible in NI-MAX either. The PCMCIA-GBIP-Interface was visible but when I clicked on "search for instruments" it didn't find any device. The people I asked made the conclusion that the cable didn't work.

So we ordered a new one, it has USB Connection instead of PCMCIA but the manufacturer is Keithley. I did install alle the drivers (also the additional ones

which are needed to work with NI-VISA) and the device is visible in the Keithley Configuration Utility. Windows Device manager also shows that there is a connection.

According to this tutorial a GPIB-Interface should appear in NI-MAX (as it did with the PCMCIA-Card) but it doesn't. I tried to establish an USB-Connection (with NI-VISA Driver Wizard) which worked but I couldn't find the button "search for instruments" at all.

Here is a screenshot where you can see all my installed drivers/programs:

What else can I do that the USB-GPIB-Interface is visible in NI-MAX/VISA?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You need to enable the VISA Tulip Passport for the KUSB488 to show up.

Tools->Ni Visa -> Visa Options -> Passports

Make sure you press save when leaving this dialog

Delete the RAW thing you created in NI-MAX

If using VISA 19.0 you might be missing the tulip passport. Somewhere in this board is a solution to getting the tulip passport.

The tulip passport ist enabled already and I can't press the delete button when I right-click on the RAW-Connection.
