Hi,
I am using a Tektronix AFG 3021B Signal Generator. I installed the National Instruments driver (tkafg3k) for this device. My computer is connected to the signal generator In the block diagram, I place one block called "Example - Getting Started vi". I run the vi (it doesn't need any connections, so the vi just has the one block).
The vi then gives me this error:
Error -1073807343 occurred at tkafg3k Initialize With Options.vi
Possible reason(s):
Driver Status: (Hex 0xBFFF0011) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFF0011) Error - Insufficient location information or resource not present in the system
I know that the signal generator is properly communicating with the computer because when I run "VISA Resource Manager", I can ask for the device's name and it returns the correct name.
-I am using Labview 8.6.
-I have NI VISA 4.2 installed
-The driver I use is found here: http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=005994E37F5B2318E0440003BA7CCD...
-I use the driver that is for version 7.1
-I am using this compliance package: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1095/lang/en
What is the cause of this error and how can I fix it?
Thank you.

Do you really need to use the IVI driver or can you use the LabVIEW driver? If you need IVI, did you configure it in MAX with a logical name, etc.
p.s. You posted to the wrong board. This is for NI Signal Generators. You should have posted to the Instrument Control board.
