Problem with LabVIEW and Agilent E5810

[Rich_123]

I have an Agilent E5810 LAN/GPIB gateway and cannot get it working with
LabVIEW 7.0 under Windows 2000.

I have followed the instructions in this document:

http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/E56D3D4866BE0A8A86256942006626F0/OpenDocument

which tell me to use Agilent VISA, rather than NI VISA.

The gateway works fine with Agilent VEE on the same computer. Whenever I
try to do a VISA Open I get this error message:

"
Error - 1073807342 occurred at VISA Open in measure_current.vi.

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.
"

The VISA resource names I have tried are: (my instrument's GPIB address is
22)

TCPIP0::136.157.231.67::gpib0,22::INST
GPIB0::22::INST
TCPIP0::136.157.231.67::GPIB0:22::INST

but none works. The values TCPIP0 and GPIB0 come from Agilent's Connection
Expert software.

I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Please see the following link:

Try using "INSTR" instead of "INST" at the end of your address strings.

What do you know, that did it!

I guess I couldn't see the forest for the trees ...

Thanks Logan.
