What hw driver to install? 488.2, VISA or both for LabView to start with GPIB . each driver is 300MB !!?
1.) Does VISA installation include 488.2 ? 2.) What application will need for deployment ?
3.) How to assert deassert GPIB REN with GOTOLOCAL using VISA in LV ?

Thanks for quick response. I'm new to this place and LV.
It would be OK for me to install both for development but what about application deployment? I don't feel good about two additional installations of 300MB each ??!! Is there any list of files to include in app setup, just ?...sorry.
I can't find viParseRsrc function. Is there one? How to parse that stuff FindRsrc function returns ?

I expect VISA concept shouldn't depend on IDE whatever it is C or LV ? How does your test system check available resources and aliasing insruments ?
So far what I find is like in my C# code I can OpenSession defaultRM than FindRsrs next it needs to know what my system has, so it needs to ParseRsrs from FindRsrs returns or to use FindRsrsNext .....

I installed both VISA and 488 .... however I get this :

I have Windows7. It looks like there was a conflict with Agilent drivers. I uninstalled everything first and reinstalled NI 488 and VISA. Now I have this:
Error -1073807195 occurred at VISA Open in GPIB-VISA.vi VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF00A5) The interface type is valid, but the specified interface number is not configured.

Hi Mick,
Which version did you install? Also, does it show up in MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer)?
