RS-232 control of keithley 2000/ Driver problem

Hi All,

I am trying to take resistance and voltage readings from the back channels of a Keithley 2000 with the RS-232 connection. I have downloaded the driver and unzipped it in the instr.lib but labview doesn't seem to want to recognize any of the vi's (just gives me question marks). Have I unzipped it improperly? Also, tried moving the unzipped files into a folder file to no avail. 

I would think that there is a simple way to write my own vi but I can't seem to be able to read from the buffer. It gives me Error -1073807339. 

Using: Windows 7

Labview 8.5

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, you have an install problem. There should be a Keithley folder directly under instr.lib.

Your error could be due to any number of reasons. Common problems are mismatched port settings and the wrong type of serial cable.
