You don't have to install MAX but in order to open a VISA connection, you do have to have VISA installed. The error indicates that it is not. The meaning of the error is:

VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF009E) A code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded.

Hey Gokul,

Dennis is correct, you'll probably need NI-VISA, and if you are to install NI-VISA, it installs Measurement and Automation Explorer automatically for you.

You can download it at:

NI-VISA Download Driver

Run VISA on a non-Windows platform and you not only can run the open, read, and write without MAX, you cannot even get MAX.
