usb 6501 and pyvisa

[Dolu]

Hi

I'm trying to control the I/O of the USB 6501 device from NI via pyvisa. I can launch the test part from NI max and it works well. However when I want to see the device with ResourceManager() with pyvisa,I can see all my devices in the list except this one.

Does someone has a clue for this problem ?

Configuration : Windows 7, Spyder (Python 2.7), NI-DAQmx 9.9.0f0.

Thanks

It's not accessible with VISA. It appears in MAX because you installed DAQmx, which is the driver you must use.

You mean that I can't use pyvisa to control this device ?

[Dennis_Knutson]

That is exactly what 'it's not accessible with VISA' means. Why did you think it was a VISA compatible device?

I have absolutely no idea about it, I'm pretty new in this section, just wanna see if I could control it with python

Thank you for your help anyway

I said you couldn't use VISA. I didn't say you could not use python.

How can I use python to use an USB-4431 without pyvisa ?

Thank you.

Sorry if the answer exists already, I am quite a beginner..

Search the boards for 'python daqmx'.

Next time, start a new thread for your questions though a dedicated python forum might be more appropriate.
