IVI driver is not working correctly in TestStand

I am developing a sequence which calls a Keithley 2000 DMM using the built-in IVI step type in TestStand 3.0. I have installed this sequence on the target machine, which only has the run-time license, but when I run the test the measurement step does not correctly read the voltage that is displayed on the multimeter. The hardware works because I can read the correct voltage on the front panel of the instrument, and I know that the USB GPIB card works because I can read the voltage through MAX using SCPI commands. The components installed on the production machine are:

NI IVI Compliance Package 2.1
NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 6.1
NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.0
NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.1
NI MAX 3.0.2
NI Session Manager 3.0
NI TestStand 3.0
NI-488.2 2.20
NI-DAQ 7.0.1, Traditional
NI-DAQmx 7.0.1
NI-VISA 3.0.0f5

I also have installed the Keithley 2000 DMM and Agilent 33120A instrument drivers from NI.

The part which is confusing me is that the machine on which I am developing works correctly, and apparently everything is installed the same. After reading all the documentation I could find, I did not find anything that would indicate this setup would not work.

My question is why does this configuration not work? Am I missing a configuration option or component?

Thanks.

Hi Philip,

You have all of the neccesary components installed. It sounds like you don't have the IVI resource configured correctly. Make sure you have all of the IVI references set up correctly inside of MAX. You can follow the instructions here: IVI Configuration. If you have done this already, let me know what error the step is giving you and I will be happy to look further into the issue!
