Error -1073807343, NI-DAQ 1.7, LV7.1, Win2K (msginabottle)

[Dynamik]

Greetings VInicians,

     Me old PC has all slots filled, some ISA, some PCI.  Me GPIB is ISA - yea, though it require NI-488.2 1.7.

Me first-mate "MAX" spys the DMM off port GPIB::12, but me bosun LabVIEW (.EXE) be barking "-1073807343" ever I try the VISA Open.

The app. is using the right address - to be sure, it be returned with the error message.

So what think?  Overboard with this here AT-GPIB?

...or might I be checking me rigging?

Humble thanks,

Gilligan's gramp.

Blank/invisible characters embedded?
I obtain the same error if I prepone/postpone a blank to GPIB.

Thanks for the suggestion, pincpanter.  While, this code worked on another machine, I checked for spaces anyway!  It's the first time LabVIEW (run-time) has been on this machine.  But the instrument doesn't even go into remote.   It appears LabVIEW isn't talking to the AT-GPIB/TNT adapter.  I've probably forgotten to configure something under MAX, but what?

Cheers.

Check in MAX for the software installed. You need both NI-GPIB and NI-VISA. Also, verify in MAX that the GPIB is configured and then do a scan for instruments and make sure you can detect it.

Hi Dennis,

Thank you for tip/reminder about software-revs util in MAX - will check it out next.

I have tried installing VISA although MAX already sees instrument.  Still, application isn't talking to GPIB board.

Cheers.

Turns out VISA was not installed after-all.

Problem solved.

Thanks Dennis!

Glad you got it working. What a lot of people don't realize is that when MAX does a scan for instruments, it does not use VISA. It's actually issuing the old "ib" commands and they just require that NI-GPIB be installed.
