GPIB-USB-HS vs PCI-GPIB

[LVLV]

Hi,

I have LabVIEW code that is using VISA to communicate with a PCI-GPIB interface card/instruments. I replaced the PCI-GPIB card with a  GPIB-USB-HS interface for ease of use.

Now the code does not work...I thought the code(VISA session) should work for both interfaces? Do I need VISA for GPIB-USB-HS too?

What is wrong?

Thanks for your help...

What versions of NI-VISA and NI-488.2 do you have on your computer?  Also, what exactly is not working?  Do you have an error that is coming that you could give us to troubleshoot your issue?  Please let us know.

Look in MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer) to see if the USB-GPIB shows up in the list of devices.  If it does, try to communicate with an instrument from there.  If it doesn't, your drivers were not installed properly.  If you can talk to instruments from MAX,  you should be able to do so from Labview also.
