Ethernet remote for TDS3014B Oscilloscope

[20_cent]

Hello,

I m Labview beginer and use a TDS3014B for basic measure that I want automatisated with labview. 

First I connect the Oscilloscope per ethernet on the same switch as my computer. 

Then I had install the TEKVISA software to check how this one works.

Afterward I install Labview 8.5 and add the instrument driver tktds3k.

In the Blockdiagram I insert  "input / instrument driver/ tktds3k/examples"and start runing one of the examples (without more connection, programing and so one).

By all this examples I get by runing the the error message

"Error -1073807194 occurred at VISA Open in tktds3K Initialize.vi->tktds3k Auto Setup Waveform Acquire Example.vi

Possible reason(s):
VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF00A6) The connection for the given session has been lost. "

The normal connection to the Osci work, I can for example introduce his IP in internet explorer and get the actual osci screen.

I read a lot about how connect the osci per LAN but I seems so easy that problems are not often discussed.is a problem between TEKVISA and NIVISA possible? or is more programming needed?

I hoppe someone can help me step by step

thanks in advance

Vincent

TEKVISA and NIVISA are exclusive but you can toggle between these two.

Hei, first thanks for your suggestions.

This morning I begun with the deinstalation of all components, TEKVISA and Labview incl NIVISA.

My hope was that without any bad interactions between both VISA it should work....

So I reinstal Labview 8.5, instal the tktds3k driver, create in MAX my tcpip instrument and try again in the Blockdiagram to insert  "input / instrument driver/ tktds3k/examples".

By runing "Auto setup waveform acquire example" I get the msg :

"Error -1073807339 occurred at VISA Read in tktds3K Initialize.vi->tktds3k Auto Setup Waveform Acquire Example.vi 

 Possible reason(s):
VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Timeout expired before operation completed."

The NI engineer said me on the phone that' s a Tektronix problem because it is the tek software examples that is not working, but I cant believe because it s the same with other tek examples and suppose that it' s working by many other users.

By reading different posts about timeout errors I was also not helped.

Thanks a lot for each answer
