Problem with LabVIEW 9.0f2 and VISA 5.0 on MacOSX 10.6

[Questmaster]

Hi,

I am using MacOSX 10.6 and Labview 9.0f2. I have installed the lates VISA drivers (5.0.0), as only they support OSX 10.6.

Now, I try to run the 'Basic Serial Write and Read' Example and get the following error:

Error -1073807343 occurred at Property Node (arg 1) in VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi->Basic Serial Write and Read.vi

Possible reason(s): VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0011) Insufficient location information or the device or resource is not present in the system.

As I am a newbie to Labview I would appreciate any help on this issue...

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi,

I take that you do have a serial device at the resource name you are using to write and read from?

Have you check it using NI Max and open a session on that device.

Thanks for your hint, it was the device name. As the example stated COM1, i tried it with the BSD serial device name. Setting the ASRL... device name made it working.
