How to obtain the resource name from NI USB-5133 scope

[hay123]

Hi,

I encountered problem when I tried to init the USB-5133 scope(3.40 driver) using labview 6.1 and 8.6.  But I am able to communicate the scope in CVI.

The scope appeared in MAX under NI-DAQmx devces, I had renamed it as "scope".

I tried to make a simple Visa command to check the resource name, it's failed to detect the scope, but able to detect other GPIB instruments.

Please refer to attached file for details.

I had tried the following resource name, but doesn;t work.

"scope", "DAQ::scope".

Anyone who know the solution or have any idea what's happen here, please kindly letting me know. Many thanks.

You use the NI-Scope driver and an IVI Resource Name control - not a VISA Resource. The driver functions have the correct control. You should also define it in MAX as an IVI instrument. Ignore the fact that it shows up in MAX under DAQmx and I don't think renaming it there does anything.
