Pickering module: IVI to NI Switch Exec

[Jose_LabVIEW]

Hello,

I have a Pickering module model:40-670A-022-198/1.  I have the Logical Names and Driver Sessions configured.  However, when I try to create a switch for it on NI Switch Executive Virtual Devices I get: Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA1190) The session handle is not valid.

Hi,

I found this error can appear if the proper naming convention for the IVI compliant switch is not used. I looked at Pickering's documentation for your switch and I could not find this information. Can you ping Pickering to check if the name and resource descriptor you are using are fine?

I installed the IVI driver, simulates a device with it (in the Driver Session, select the General tab and change Simulate With to Specific Driver), and then I was able to create a Virtual Device with no errors. Can you try this? If it fails, it may be a good idea to try reinstalling the IVI driver.
