Currently I'm using the NI GPIB-USB-HS to communicate with a YK1600 PM via custom VI's. Last time I used this(2 weeks ago) everything worked well. However, yesterday all communication attempts were unsuccessful. Today, the GPIB device is no longer lided in my VISA resource dropdown in any of my VI's It's listed in MAX and scanning for instuments switches the PM to remote mode. This would lead me to believe the GPIB-USB and PM are still functional.
Any ideas???

I've attached a SS of MAX GPIB properties. VISA test panel is not an option with the GPIB device. I spent the two hours downloading and updating LabVIEW 2013 and the most recent NI VISA available. Still no joy.

Hit the "Scan for Instruments" at the top. See if your instrument shows up. From there, you should be able to communicate with the VISA Test Panel.

Unfortunately, I've already tried that. I can see the "active" LED on the GPIB adapter flash, and the PM switches to REMOTE mode, still no VISA test panel option or option in VISA drop-down on VI front panel.

I just happened to stop at 9. Was originally set to 0(I believe). Changed it to 1, no luck. Changed it to 2, still no luck, Changed it to 3......etc. At this point, I considering uninstalling VISA entirely and performing a clean install.
