When you do a scan for instruments in MAX, is it listed?

[MobileThunder]

I will run the NI-MAX on the lab and tomorrow i will tell you... Thanks!

[MobileThunder]

Yes, it's listed, please check the image.

[Dennis_Knutson]

Your instrument is  not listed. The only thing shown is the actual GPIB controller. Did you right click on the controller and select 'Scan for Instruments'? If so, did you enable GPIB communication on the scope itself? Until you get the scope listed in MAX, trying to use LabVIEW is just a waste of effort.

[MobileThunder]

First, i want to thank you for your patience and help. I scan for instruments, and no instruments were found, but the osciloscope it's connected to the GPIB-USB... What should i do?

[Dennis_Knutson]

Check the communication settings on the scope as I said. There should be something in the manual on this.

[MobileThunder]

I'm sorry but i don't understand when do you mean "scope", but take a look at the images...

[Dennis_Knutson]

You said you were using Tek scope. Are you now saying you have a different instrument? In any case, you have to go into the manual for this mystery instrument and see how to enable the GPIB communication.

Those images are just irrelevant. There is no problem with the controller itself and since MAX does not detect the mystery instrument, it obviously will not show as an available resource.

Sorry... my mind is elsewhere for sure... Scope = Osciloscope... Sure... i'm still usign the TEK TDS 1002... i will check the connection and i will telll you in a while.. Thanks...
