How to access the Agilent 34405A DMM?

[Greg_NTI]

Hello,

has anyone been able to talk to an HP 34405A DMM via an IVI driver?

I installed the IVI driver from the CD, but cannot use it in CVI since there is not .fp file available. (see attachment)

What do I miss? Is there any task I have to perform to get access to the IVI driver in CVI?

Thanks,
Greg

Hello Greg,
I have not tried to do this, but it would be helpful to know if this is an IVI-C or IVI-COM driver.  You may be able to make a wrapper for it.  Since I cannot find this driver on our site, I assume you got this from the instrument manufacturer.  Do they offer a CVI compatible driver that has a .fp?

I am attaching a few links that may help you to sort through this issue.
Now that I Have Downloaded My Instrument Driver, How Do I Use It?

Also, this discussion forum talks about how to create a function panel, and you may find this useful.

I hope this information helps.  Good Luck with your application!
