Problem in Opening IVI handle for Tek 5032B digitizer

Hi,
 
I'm having problem with Opening IVI handle for Tek 5032B digitizer. I'm using NI supplied IVI driver (tkds5000_MS.msi) and Installed NI-DAQ 7.3 ( which has both ICP and NI-VISA). VISA session opens preoperly with "viOpen()"  and able to communicate with the instrument. But when "IviScope_init()" is used to open IVI handle the command is unsucessful with non-zero return value. ( Error Code :0xbffa1203 --- IVI      Errors).
 
Pls let me know your inputs to solve this problem.
 
Thanks

Since you are using an IviScope class driver function, have you configured a logical name and driver session in MAX? The logical name input in the Init function has to match exactly what you have configured in MAX and it is case-sensitive. The error you are getting is:
 
BFFA1203 The session name or logical name could not be resolved to a session or driver session.
 
Please double-check your IVI MAX configuration and hopefully you will be able to use tkds5000 driver through the class driver.
