Chroma 62000 IVI init.

In the early stages of development for an automated test fixture using Chroma IVI drivers with TestStand 2014.  I've used IVI previously with DMM and Scope so I am somewhat familiar but am no expert.   When attempting to run a short sequence, using the IVI set steps, I get the following error:

 

 

"The IVI Init operation failed for logical name 'chr62000'.
Details: Session Manager: Could not find function 'IviDcpwr_init' in DLL (or external module) 'IviDcpwr.dll'."

 

Basically, I'm stuck at this point.   Driver sessions and logical names have been deleted and recreated several times.   no luck.

 

Any thought?   Thanks

In the TestStand public directory there is a decent example at Examples >> Built-In Step Types >> IVI Step Types although it sounds like you're familiar from experience with DMM and Scope.  What is this Chroma 62000 driver and where did it come from?

The driver was provided by Chroma; downloaded from their driver page specifically for this model of power supply.  I've contacted thier Tech Support but still waiting on reply.  not holding my breath.

I see.  I wasn't able to find that device on NI's Instrument Driver Network so a call to Chroma regarding that driver sounds like a good step!  Let us know if you find out anything new
