Template - Function Generator Frequency Sweep

Good day everyone,

 

I have tried to use Template - Function Generator Frequency Sweep, that we have in instr.lib by default, but when running it, I am getting an error ( please see 1 attached file) appearing just from the first vi. When I change this vi with VISA Open and run again, I get the same error (please see 2 attached), but already for the next VIs. Could anyone know what is the problem and how to fix it?

 

Thank you very much in advance!

Since you are using a VISA alias, no one can tell what sort of physical connection you are using. Is it RS232? If so, you could have the wrong com port parameters, the wrong type of serial cable, or the instrument may not be configured for serial communication. Since you are using a template that you created, the commands may not match what is in your manual.

 

What is the make and model of the instrument.

sorry, I have just realised I was using an alias. I contact it via ethernet and I have another VI from which I can contact the device, which is a Tabor AWG ww1072

I use ethernet to communicate with the device and I have another VI from which I can contact the device, which is a Tabor AWG ww1072 without problems.
