Does labwindow HP415XA dirver support HP4156c, seeing GPIB error 0x8000

Hi
I'm trying to use lab window to control my HP4156c by using the HP415XA driver available through NI.  I wasn't sure if this driver support only the A/B models and therefore giving me GPIB error below.

Whenever I call the hp415xa_init function, it will return GPIB error.
hp415xa_init(17,1,1,1,&ID);

Here are the NI spy capture for reference, which always set the primary address to 4095 instead of 17 for my 4156c??
ibdev(0, 4095,0(0x0), T10s(13),1,0x0000)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Seems like it only supports 4155A/B and 4156A from what is listed on the download page.

I guess I was not looking hard enough. Yes, at the bottom of the download page here it lists the different models that are supported, and the 4156C is not one of them unfortunately.

The source code of this driver also indicates it only supports 4155 A/B and 4156A.

Here's the link where I downloaded this driver for lab window.
