Error on using IVI driver to control Agilent E4407B

[Bill Choy]

Hi,

I'm now using LabVIEW7 to control Agilent E4407B Spectrum Analyzer through GPIB. I can control it properly in MAX by sending GPIB commands. However, I got an error when I program it in LabVIEW by using the IVI instrument driver. The error code is -1073807339 which is timeout expired before operation completed. I just used the Getting started.vi to try but it failed in the initialize vi. I didn't change any setting and the address was mateched. The analyzer indicated that it turned to remote mode but it showed "Query UNTERMINATED" when the program run Call Library Function to access the ivi.dll. Do I miss any drivers or settings? Thanks.

Hi,

I developed this driver with E4401B and I do not have any troubles. Please can you use NI Spy for VISA and attach spy report.

NI Spy you can find in Start menu National Instruments>>Ni Spy. Press blue arrow icon. Now you can start Getting started example. In spy window you should see all VISA calls. When getting started example finish, stop capture in NI Spy and save report file.

Thanks,
Zdenek
