problem in IviSpecAn - Acquire Y Trace.vi example

[yasmain62]

Hi

I opened IviSpecAn - Acquire Y Trace.vi example from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\instr. Then I opened Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) and configure my IVI logical name and then choose the correct IVI logical name from the drop down on the front panel of the IviSpecAn - Acquire Y Trace.vi.

My logical name is “Spectrum” and select “N9030A driver (agmxa)” from driver session. I choose simulation mode with “nisSpecAn”.

I run the IviSpecAn - Acquire Y Trace.vi example (after choosing the IVI Logical name), it generates the following error:

Error -1074135008 occurred at IviSpecAn IVI Error Converter.vi

Possible reason(s):

Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA0020) Unknown channel or repeated capability name.

Complete call chain:

     IviSpecAn IVI Error Converter.vi

     IviSpecAn Configure Trace Type.vi

     IviSpecAn - Acquire Y Trace.vi 

Is there some problem in the driver or am I missing something? I'm new to LabView and to IVI, and I would really appreciate any help. 

Thank you

Can you attach a screen shot of your fp settings?

Hi

I used IviSpecAn - Acquire Y Trace.vi example from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\instr without any change into configuration, setting or anything.

Only, I opened Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) and configure my IVI logical name and then choose the correct IVI logical name from the drop down on the front panel of the IviSpecAn - Acquire Y Trace.vi.

My logical name is “Spectrum” and select “N9030A driver (agmxa)” from driver session. I choose simulation mode with “nisSpecAn”.

I attached images of MAX configuration.

I run the IviSpecAn - Acquire Y Trace.vi example (after choosing the IVI Logical name), simulator setup window opens but when I enter ‘ok’, it generates the following error:

Error -1074135008 occurred at IviSpecAn IVI Error Converter.vi

Possible reason(s):

Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA0020) Unknown channel or repeated capability name.

Complete call chain:

     IviSpecAn IVI Error Converter.vi

     IviSpecAn Configure Trace Type.vi

     IviSpecAn - Acquire Y Trace.vi 

Is there some problem in the driver or am I missing something? I'm new to LabView and to IVI, and I would really appreciate any help.

Did you try Trace1? TRACE1 in all CAPs is not a valid virtual name for the MXA models (see screen shot).

I ran the class driver example using Trace1 with no issues.
