Please help me in interfacing Lecroy oscilloscope with labview signal express ???????      I am using USB cable to communicate with lecroy waverunner 610zi scope using signal express.... now the problem is in configuration... I have installed the particular drivers to communicate .... after opening signal express - acquire signal to ivi scope acquire then session name is myiviscope , resource descriptor is USB and driver is lescope(leccroy scope) but after after clicking the run it shows error as 

ivi_IviScope Initialize With Options.vi<ERR> Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA004C) The option string parameter contains an entry with an unknown option value. Elaboration: LeCroyScope: The True value in the option string is unknown.  Interchange checking is not supported by the driver.

Hi karthik,

Which driver have you been installed exactly?

And which interfaces are you using exactly to communicate with your lecroy waverunner 610zi scope:

USB, IEEE 488.2 (GPIB) or Ethernet

Hi karthik,

could you please send me a link to the driver you are using?

I´m sending you a few links with the NI driver for IVI and an instruction for using it with signal express.

Hi karthik,

Have you already tried to change the interface, either Ethernet or GPIB?

Please also have a look at point 2: Required Software at the Readme file and check if you have installed the VISA driver.

Hi carina,

            Thank you for your suggestion let me try to interface through ethernet and also I need to install VISA driver... I have another doubt are you sure the link that you sent for the drivers is applicable for Labviewsignal express or only labview2010(32-bit)

Thanks

Hi karthik,

I´ve tested this driver and it seems that it works only in LabVIEW but not in Signal Express, sorry.

Hi Carina,

 Thanks for your reply.... Do you have any idea which drivers will work in Labviewsignal express.

Thanks
