using hp33120a driver

Hi,
 
I am trying to control a hp33120a function generator via Labview and a GPIB/USB interface wich is an Agilent 82357a. Therefore I installed the driver for it with a NI support engineer. here is the link : https://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E96B8659CE034080020E74...
 
However when I run the getting started.vi of the driver with the correct gpib address (I may be wrong!!) the following error occurs :
Error -1073807195 occurred at hp33120a Initialize With Options.vi
Possible reason(s):
Driver Status:  (Hex 0xBFFF00A5) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFF00A5) The interface type is valid but the specified interface number is not configured.
It seems that I have to configure something but I don't know what!
Could anyone help me on that?
 
Boris.

Try setting the tulip passport as mentioned by JLS in this post. You might also want to read this.

Hi Start a new thread. Do not use this old one.

And what did you see in MAX. Is it a NI-GPIB-USB or from another vendor?

But anyhow start a new thread with these answers.

greetings from the Netherlands
