LabView not recognizing GPIB device

Each time I run hp548xx initialize with options.vi using the expected resource name, it won't return an instrument handle instead throwing a 0xBFFF003E i/o error.  I tried making a simple vi with the VISA find resource function, but it only returns two ASRL instruments.  I have an HP Infinium oscilloscope connected to the computer via an NI usb GPIB connector, which the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer recognizes.  My question is why can't LabView recognize it, and is there another means in LabView to get the resource name or instrument handle?

The Initialize with Options sounds like an IVI driver. Did you install the IVI Compliance Package? Have you tried the LabVIEW driver? Why are you even using the IVI driver?

The IVI compliance package is installed, but I'm not sure what you mean by the LabView driver. 

 

I'm using this code because it was already written by another member of my group (who has subsequently graduated and is unavailable for consultation).  Ultimately the VI is supposed the record waveforms from two channels on an oscilloscope while using another channel as the trigger.  If anyone knows of another VI that accomplishes this I would certainly switch.

Check the Instrument Driver Network. There is an IVI driver (written in C and with a LabVIEW wrapper) and a native LabVIEW driver. I have no idea why the IVI driver would have been chosen instead of the LabVIEW one.

 

The LabVIEW driver may or may not solve your problem but it is worth trying.
