Running agilent33xxx example vi in signal express

[jto2]

I'm trying to control my function generator (Agilent 33210A) within signal express. When dowloading the driver for the function generator, you also get several example VI's. I followed the explaination given in this link: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/359D14941D6936E98625729D008387D5
But SignalExpress still can't open the VI, saying the VI doesn't meet the requirements described in the link. I need signal express to allow me to control my function generator.

I've also tried what was described in this other link, to no avail:

http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3203/en

I do everything that's asked, an SignalExpress still has the following error when trying to open the VI.

"The VI is not executable. Please verify that the VI is not broken and saved as a Source Distribution (which "Includes vi.lib Files") and is within a Linked Library with the ".llb" extension."

Per the instructions, I save the file as a Source Distribution and is within a linked .llb extension. I don't understand why I'm having this issue after following the instructions verbatim.

That function generator is supported by IVI.  Have you tried the IVI FGEN or IVI ARB steps included with SignalExpress?  If you have the drivers installed, these steps should be able to find and use your function generator.

Thanks for the advice. After installing the correct drivers, I see this message when trying to configure the IVI FGEN step. Any ideas?

Error -1074134964 occurred at ivi_IviFgen Initialize With Options.vi

Possible reason(s):

Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFA004C) The option string parameter contains an entry with an unknown option value.
Elaboration: Agilent33220: The True value in the option string is unknown.
Interchange checking is not supported by the driver.

Well, looks like I needed to install the LabVIEW specific compatibility drivers for IVI connection to my Agilent 33210A. Here was the link

Although this driver is technically out of date (still calling the function generator an HP 33210A), the IVI FGEN step seems to work.

Now if I can only figure out how to have SignalExpress turn off the output of the function generator. Seems to be stuck on, even after stopping the SginalExpress execution.
