Hi,

guess you should provide more details on the error you get.
-Are you using any instrument driver for that instrument?
-What is the subVI that throws the error?

Also you may want to attach a screenshot of the error so that people can look at what's going on.
Here you can find the instrument driver for your instrument:

The image of 662xA Example.vi shows that VISA session control is empty. You need to enter the address in the form GPIB::primary address and this address has to actually match your instrument's settings. An easy way to get it correct is to first use MAX to scan for instruments connected to your GPIB board and use the little down arrow on the right of the VISA session control to pick from the list of instruments found. The address number on the getting started VI is just a default that the driver programmer put there. Your instrument could have a completely different one.

Hi Dennis..

I have follow your suggestion and set my Visa conctroll: GPIB::5, which is same as my intrument, but the error code does not go away. is there any other suggestion you may have to solve this problem?
thank in advance !!!

Go to MAX and expand Devices and Interfaces. Right click GPIB0 and select Scan for Instruments. Right click on the instrument in the list that corresponds to your 6629 and select Communicate with Instrument. Type ID?; into the Send String box and click the Query button. What is the response you get?

All of the above is just checking the basics. If you don't get a response or if Scan for Instruments fails, then there's a problem with either the GPIB board or the software. Are you using an NI GPIB board?

Hi Dennis

Thank again... It seem like I pass the instrument scan, but there is no respond when I click query button . I type ID? into the sending string box.
please give some suggestion.
thanks

Does that "Instrument Model" listing in the top center refer to a slot #3? Is there physically that instrument in slot 3? Configuration error would seem that the instrument disagrees with what the software is trying to program it to.
