IVI-C in TestStand

[frankne]

Hello,

at the moment Im using the evauation version of TestStand 4.0 if it suits my demands. I have seen in the "Insertion Palette" the IVI-C steps. Whith them it should be possible to connect to a DMM or Scope or...

So i installed the  IVI Compliance Package and the driver for my device "hp34401a". But how can I configure the driver with the right device address? In the documentation and help files i read that MAX is nescessary, where can i get this from?

(i just have TestStand installed no LabView or LabWindows or Measurement Studio)

You should get MAX when you install NI-VISA.

You should see an Icon on your desktop called "Measurement & Automation". this is the shortcut for MAX

Thanks for your answers. I have MAX now installed.

Does anybody know how I configure it to connect it to my DMM at GBIP-Address 15?

Have you started MAX? If you had, you would see in right hand screen a 'What  do you want to do?' message and one of the options below that is 'Configure my IVI instrument drivers'. Click on it.

I didn't knew that I have to activate a special dll in max to get access to my gbip card (agilent).

now it works almost fine
