I have an error with the hpe363xa instrument driver. Hex 0xBFFA0000

[Sean.C]

I am trying to communicate with an Agilent E3633A Power Supply using GPIB.  I have verified that I can communicate using NIMax, and using VISA, but the vis in the drivers are giving me an error message as follows:

Error -1074135040 occurred at hpe363xa Initialize With Options.vi

Possible reason(s):
Driver Status:  (Hex 0xBFFA0000)

This error occurs with all of the vis that I have checked so far (which is most of them at this point).

Has anyone else encountered this problem?  If so, what is the solution?

Thanks,

Sean

Since you are using an IVI driver, please make sure that the IVI Compliance Package is installed on the system. If it is already there, then try to run the repair from Add/Remove programs or re-install.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.  That was the problem.

I'm using LabVIEW.exe version 8.5 and have an error with the hpe363xa instrument driver.HEX0xBFF0011. Should I perform similar action as error HexOxBFFA0000?

By the way for error HEX0xBFFA0000, did you mean NI IVI Specific Driver?

Please advice

Best regards

Error 201261073 occurred at an unidentified location

This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input.
this message is displayed on my system when i click on explain error in the errorwindow for this numer.

You probably know if you are using an IVI driver,
This error is probably defined in your instrument driver.

maybe you can also rightclick on this number ad try explain error.
or give us more specific information on the instrument driver.

Hello Masdi,
     I echo Albert's request for more information about the circumstances around this error.  Please let us know which type of driver you are using for your instrument and if it worked previously or on another system.  Are you sucessfully controlling other instruments with LabVIEW on this system?  Please provide us a screenshot of the most basic VI that generates this error and also attach the VI.  Also please let us know which bus you are using to communicate with your instrument and if you can communicate with it in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).

Cheers,

Hi Nathan,

Currently I'm using 2 instruments in same time and I accidentally selected wrong GPIB address. These cause that error occurred but by selecting correct address now the instrument able to communicate.

By the way thanks for the support.
