Problem with Software Module and Prog ID

[mpaul79]

Hello,

I'm trying to integrate my Fluke 45 DMM into an small test application. But when I call the CreateDriver method of the IviSessionFactoryClass, i get the following exception:

IIviSessionFactory: Software Module (fl45) has no Prog ID

I found the Prog ID textbox in the MAX Instrument Driver Software Module, but what do I have to fill in? Where can I find the corresponding Prog ID to my Fluke?

Or are there any other bugs in my application? I'm using national instruments' IVI driver for the Fluke 45.

Here's my code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Ivi.SessionFactory.Interop;
using Ivi.Driver.Interop;
using Ivi.Dmm.Interop;

namespace IVI
{
    class Program
    {
        private static IIviDmm myDMM = null;
        private static IviSessionFactoryClass sf = new IviSessionFactoryClass();

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            init();
        }
       
        private static void init()
        {
            try
            {
                myDMM = (IIviDmm)sf.CreateDriver("Fluke 45");
            }
            catch
            {
            }
        }          
    }
}

Thank you for your help!

Hi - look here for fluke 45 tested programms http://sine.ni.com/idnetwork/main?q=fluke+45 find under www.ni.com/idnet -> browse drivers...

[Johann.Wagner]

Try this for C programming

When you can work with LV you can use this

For special programming ask fluke support under servicedesk@de.fluke.nl or look under http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4562

 

Hope this helps

Marco,

If you want to use the IviSessionFactory, then you need an IVI-COM driver for your Fluke 45 DMM. The IVI driver you found on IDNet is an IVI-C driver. IVI-C and IVI-COM are two different architectures and cannot be used interchangeably but they can co-exist side-by-side on the same system.

Ok, that should be the problem.

Thank you very much!
