Time out error while capturing waveform from TDS2024

[profsaxena]

I am trying to connect my Textronix Oscillocope TDS2024 through serial port to capture waveforms in LABVIEW 7.1.

I am getting following error message

 Failed to open a session with the selected instrument.
   Error message : The resource is valid, but VISA cannot currently access it.
   VISA Status code : bfff0072
Kindly provide me the solution.

You will typically get that error when the serial port is being used by another program. The OS doesn't allow more than one application access to a port. Make sure all other programs such as Hyperterminal are closed.

Thanks for giving me solution.
