"This model is not supported by this driver!" (Popup Driver Error)

[Nabiro]

Hello everyone,

I've been running into an issue persistently that I can't seem to get past so I wanted to ask about it here. I'm writing my VI on LabVIEW 2020 but the machine the final code is going to run on only has LabVIEW 2015 so the attached code is saved in that past version.

The issue is related to drivers, every time I run my attached VI Keithley (current source) I keep getting this popup driver error: "This model is not supported by your driver!" (image attached)

I'm using a GPIB USB connection that connects to 3 devices: a Tektronix AFG31252, a Keithley Instruments Model 6221 and a Keithley Instruments Model 2010 (attached is an image of how the instruments appear to LabVIEW).

I've been looking for drivers all over the internet and I've consulted a good amount of guides and I finally managed to collect what I thought would be enough drivers (attached is an image of the drivers I have installed). Even with all these drivers I was not able to avoid that popup on any of these 3 devices when I select their GPIB connection and run the VI and what's the worse is that this popup prevents any other detailed error codes that would come from naturally running the code.

Any guidance or tips would be greatly appreciated as this popup is blocking me from making any progress with testing and debugging the code.

Thanks!

Solved!

My mistake was that I was using Kepco subVIs then communicating with Keithley machines.

I figured out my mistake by looking at the examples in the Keithley driver folder and seeing how they managed their VIs.

Attached is an image of the subVI type I was using (Kepco) and an image of the subVI type I was supposed to use(KE622X).

So you were just using the wrong driver subVIs?  That's a fairly common mistake because plug n play drivers for different instruments will have the same names for the same or analogous functions.  Don't beat yourself up over it.  It's great that you were able to figure this one out on your own.
