I've been trying to get LabVIEW to work with CI 4500Ls. I installed the driver, and tried to run it. I got error -2147418113 "Catastrophic failure" while initializing. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I've googled, and got different answers for different situations, so I'm really confused. I'm relatively new to LabVIEW.

I use RS232 cable connected to a serial to USB converter.
The driver was downloaded from Ametek website.

I tried the USB port on the CI, but still got the same error.
I don't know what MAX is. I tried PuTTy, but it doesn't seem to have any response.

CI = California Instruments, the AC power source I'm trying to control. It has both RS232 and USB interface.
The CI appears in the device manager without error when connecting through either RS232 or USB. The device appears as a COM connection.
I'm not familiar with putty. I just set the COM port on putty and click Connect, hoping it would connect correctly, but it only opens a command windows that doesn't take any input from me.
