I got error when I was using hp66xxbc to control hp6613C. Need help.

[yzriver]

 got errors when I was using hp66xxbc to control hp6613C. I had the same error "Error -1073807360 occurred at hp66xxbc Initialize With Options.vi" when I run "hp66xxbc Initialize With Options.vi" alone, but there is no problem if I set simulate=1.

I can see the hp6613C in Measurement & Automation Explorer. The labview is 8.2 version, with NI IVI Compliance Package 3.0, and installed hp66xxbc_LV82.msi.

Could anyone help me out?

Thank you.

Jay

Other errors include:

"Error -1073807360 occurred at hp66xxbc Initialize With Options.vi"

"Error -1074130544 occurred at hp66xxbc Measure.vi"

Hello Jay,
Have a look at this knowledgebase, this may help you.
Good luck with your project.

Jay,
      Looking at this post, the problem might lie with your instrument address.  Make sure that the correct address string is being passed to the Initialize function.  This post recommends that you upgrade VISA.  What version do you currently have?  This KB might help if you are using Serial.  Let Nikhil and I know how it goes.

Cheers,

What happens if you use Initialize instead of Initialize With Options? If the IDQuery is set to True, there is really no reason to specify the model in the Option string. The error you get is a VISA error so please check if you can communicate with the instrument through the VISA Interactive Control utility.

Thanks all for you help!

I can communicate with HP6613C with NI-488.2 Communicator of MAX4.1.

How do I know the version of VISA or how to check where the VISA installed?

Thanks again.

Jay

If you are in MAX, you see on the left side a software directory, click that open(wait a while) and you see all ni software versions

I have the same problem as yzriver. My PC operation system is Windows XP. VISA version is 4.1 (4.1.0.49152).  The communication between hp6612c and MAX 4.2 of NI-488.2 is fine. Labview  is 8.2 version.

Thanks

Hi,

As mentioned above by Nathan did you

Check that the correct address string is being passed to the Initialize function?
