Why do I get Error -1073807343 when calling the open visa function ?

[PascThom]

Hello,
I am running a Labview 6i under Linux (kernel 2.4) and I have Error -1073807343 when calling the open visa function. I have verified the name of the session (GPIB0::9::INSTR), and I can communicate with my instruments with ibic.
More informations : I use NIVISA 2.5 and nigpib-0.8.2. I have downloaded the lastest drivers of my instruments but it doesn't work better.
Thanks very much for your help.

I just forgot saying that I was using a PCI-GPIB board.
Thanks

We've had several NI-VISA releases since 2.5 - so I suggest you upgrade to NI-VISA 3.0. While there isn't anything specific to your type of problem in the Linux version of our readme.txt, I know we've made a number of other fixes.

While the most recent release is NI-VISA 3.1, I still recommend you upgrade only to 3.0.

This is because NI-VISA 3.1 requires the new NI-488.2 release for GPIB-ENET to be installed (even though you aren't using that product). This is due to some internal rearchitectures, and the PCI-GPIB product is not released. If you do want to go with NI-VISA 3.1, the new NI-488.2 release for GPIB-ENET on Linux will still work with the PCI-GPIB beta driver that you have installed.

I have the same problem as he did and I'm running Labview 7.0 w/ VISA 3.0 on a Windows 2000 machine. Here's the rest of the message I get "VISA Read in Serial Read with Timeout.vi->EMN - Serial Communication.vi." Any suggestions.
