Keysight 34465A - ivi troubles

[pdengg]

Hi guys!

I've problems with my new DMM Keysight 34465A. I'm not able to do measurements or anything else with LabVIEW (14 SP1).

Until now, i have some Agilent/Keysight DMMs, but all of them are "older" types, communicating by VISA. The 34465 driver is now with IVI. So this are my first steps with ivi - but i read some tutorials (http://www.ni.com/tutorial/4594/en/ ,....) and i think, that i should get it done... But i didn't geht it done in the last two days.

When i start the "Single Point Measurment "example VI with LabVIEW i get error -1074003951 Primary Error: (HEX 0xBFFC0011) Identification query failed.

When i set the "ID Query" from the Initialisize VI to false, i geht error -1074135024 Primary Error: (HEX 0xBFFA0010) Invalid value for parameter or property. Elaboration: The model specified is not valid.

So I'm not sure if there is a problem in my ivi configuration or a problem with the triver?! Or something else...

Please for help and sorry for my english 😉

edit: The *IDN?\n command is working:

1: Write Operation (*IDN?\n)

Return Count: 6 bytes

2: Read Operation
Return Count: 72 bytes

IVI uses VISA so your comment is not correct.

There is no 34465 driver from NI, only one for the 34460 and 34461 so obviously the id query will fail. You can modify the code of you have CVI. Why are you trying to use IVI when you aren't using the IVI class driver? Might as well use the LabVIEW driver.

What version of the installer do you have? Did you check your settings in MAX?

[pdengg]

You are right, i should use the ivi class triver for my programm. But because of my problems i also tryed to use the 3446x driver.

There is a driver for the 34465A (but model support for 34465A not tested) -> http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E1C5CF089F15079AE0440021287E65...

When i use the ivi class driver i get the same error as i'm using the other driver...

@ Dennis: I'm not shure how to modify the code? (I do not have CVI)

@jjp377: What installer do you mean?

[Dennis_Knutson]

Sorry, I did not see that support is supposed to be there.

If you don't have CVI, you can't edit/debug the code. The driver has been recently updated, probably for the Keysight change. Perhaps a bug in that? When did you download it?

[pdengg]

I downloaded it a few days ago. (After the last update)

So you also think that there is a problem with the driver...

I'm in contact with NI in Munich now, hopefully they can help me!

[Dennis_Knutson]

Have you done an I/O Trace?

[pdengg]

I did it now:

1 & 2: ID Query set False

3 & 4: ID Query set True

[pdengg]

I set "Range" in the "ag 34465x Configure Mesurement" VI to 0.

Same Error, other outcome in the IO Trace

Hi pdengg,

can you try to use another name. please keep the syntax as it is default and do not use space in the logical name.
