Using IVI with CVI

[gdargaud]

Hello all,

I'm trying to use an IVI device with CVI for the 1st time but some things don't add up.

I have an Agilent 34410A, which is very similar to what is used in the tutorial here: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000x2fECAQ&l=en-US

I downloaded the driver from here: http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=014E7F05D12C6F8BE0440003BA7CCD... but inside there's mostly .vi files. There's nothing to 'install' that I know of (no .exe or .msi or .inf). Note: I do note have LV installed, only CVI, but I do have the LV runtime.

When I connect the device, I see it show up properly in the device manager. But when I go in MAX according to the above tutorial, the [Goto] button stays greyed out.

What am I missing ? Thanks.

Just a bit more details. I found a different download for the same (?) driver here: http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9419659CE034080020E748... and it's an exe. But it doesn't change anything.

In MAX I actually see the 34410A under [System][Devices and interfaces], but under [IVI Driver][Logical names] the [Go To] button is inactive and there's only <None> in the Driver Session.

OK, I got it, the driver was installed in C:\Program Files\IVI\Drivers\hp34401a (may vary depending on Windows version). Everything necessary is in there: .fp, documentation and working sample source code.
