ivi step 34410

[stevesteve]

 I have been using  the ivi step for a DMM step in Teststand. When using a NI dmm to read a voltage the ivi steps works ok, but when using a Agilent 34410A DMM it does not give the correct reading back. I have downloaded the 34410a driver from NI and used this rather than the one from Agilent.

Is it the case that the NI_ivi_DMM step only works for a NI dmm and not any other manufacturer?

No, the ivi step should work for any instrument with an ivi driver. How different are the readings? Is the configuration correct? You should be able to set a breakpoint before the read and check the setup on the 34410 front panel.

Found the problem, the driver session was set to 'Simulate', which resulted in the DMM returning random numbers.

Thanks
