I am using HP 4263ALCR meter, and I am trying

VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0011) Insufficient location information or the device or resource is not present in the system.

Are you sure that you specified the correct gpib address. You can check this in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). Under Devices and Interfaces, you should see your gpib card listed. Right click on this and select "Scan for Instruments". Your instrument should be found. If you highlight the instrument and select properties, you should see something like "GPIB::3::INSTR". Type this value into the VISA Resource Name control or just click on the select arrow of the control to see the list of all available resources and select the one
you want.

Although I don't have the instrument, I've downloaded the driver and can try to help you out with it if you haven't already resolved the issue.

I tried checking all the GPIB cards listed but no instrument is found, I followed the prompts to add a new hardware system, adding the hardware I am working with (AT MIO 16E 10) but the problem remains.

You say "all the GPIB cards listed". You have multiple GPIB cards in your system? What type? What OS are you using and what version of MAX/GPIB?

This PC has got Measurement and automation explorer version 1.0.1, when I open it and click on Devices and interfaces appears GPIB interfaces not found, and an advise to run NI488.2 troubleshooting wizard, that's what I did but no hardware is added after following the prompts.

For some cards and OS's, you have to specify the card type, interupts, etc. and then the program verifies software and hardware installation. What type of GPIB board are you using and what OS?

My OS is Windows 98 and the GPIB board says E2071/82341, it's got a type 2 HP-IB cable of 2.1m.

I don't know what E2071/82341 means either. Do you really have a GPIB board that you're trying to install? All boards from NI should say so on the board and on the metal face plate. If this E2071 is not a NI board but is a GPIB board, then installing NI-GPIB is a waste of time. You have to install whatever driver software that came with it and use something other than MAX to configure it.

Error -1073807346 occurred at VISA Write in HP4263A Config Averaging.vi->HP4263A Example I.vi.
