KUSB-488A / VISA Resource

Hi-

I am using Signal express Tektronix edition 2.5.1 to control an oscilloscope, the communication is via Keithley KUSB-488A GPIB to USB adaptor.

The oscilloscope Labview plug & play driver is installed, NI-VISA 4.6 is OK, NI-488 is uninstalled and replaced by Keithley GPIB driver.

The interface is not showing as a resource on MAX configuration tree, what I did is: created new -->GPIB-VXI interface-->primary address 1, secondary NONE and logical address is 0, then I had the interface GPIB-VXI0::0::INSTR, when I run signal express it can not find the resource and gives "no device" "initialization error".

On MAX-->NI-VISA interactive control, VISA I/O shows "GPIB0::INTFC", I added this resource to aliases with name "GPIB0" (I do not how effective is this step !)

Operating system: windows XP SP3, Labview : 2009

 

I want to configure my GPIB interface on MAX so I can communicate with the oscilloscope

 

Could you please help me to sort out this situation
