error running waverunner scope

hi,

im using the lecroy ivi driver lcltxxxx to drive an LT344L waverunner scope.
i build my application and then run it on another pc which has labview runtime on it.
unfortunately it doesnt work!

i get an error code, which apparently means that i dont have ni-visa installed on that pc as well.
could someone tell me if this is correct? and also if this software is free? i dont want to write visa apps, just run "stuff".

is there any other software i require as well?





many thanks

IVI drivers require VISA. That is the API used to communicate with GPIB, Serial, USB, Ethernet, PXI, VXI instruments. You can install the VISA run-time for free. By using an IVI driver (or just about any other type of instrument driver), you are writing VISA apps.
 
You also need the IVI framework and the instrument driver itself installed.
