uninstall all agilent software and download the 4294 instrument driver from the NI instrument driver website.

then it should work.

The agilent IO library and LabVIEW don't worrk nicely together.

An alternative is using VEE instead of LabVIEw but better shoot yourself before that.

If you have an agilent USB -GPIB cable then read about VISA and VISA passport on the forum. It works but not as easy to setup as normal NI hardware.

The agilent IO-libraries are not needed because they also interfere with LabVIEW as far as I know.

So reinstall only the USB-GPIB saftware from agilent and check how to enable it for VISA and if possible at all for MAX.
