Ocean Optics USB2000 not detected by MAX

[ross. a]

Hi

I downloaded the drivers for the Ocean Optics USB2000. I originally just tried running the VI's until I realised that I needed to install the.inf file. At which point I installed the wrong choice ( I tried installing the Windows vista file and not the xp file). After fixing this mistake by copying the correct file into the inf folder onto my computer MAX still does not detect device. If someone could inform me what I have done wrong and how to correct this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your help,

Ross

The problem is probably because Windows has already associated your device with a different driver. You can go to Device Manager and pointed it to the inf file that came with the driver.

Hi

Thanks for the info. I can now get labview to detect the instrument but not max any advice?

What's the version of your NI-VISA? The Instrument Driver download page here claims it requires 4.6 or later. If that's the case then a simple download of the newer VISA will solve your problem. Please make sure pointing the driver in the device manager to the USB 2000.
