Hi, the second VI after the rsrfsiggen connection initiation is from another driver - rsfpl. You can not use one session handle with multiple drivers.

Now I am trying just to inicialize the instrument but it doesnt find the lib.

 

I already copied the inst.lib and the user.lib folder from the downloaded driver to the LabView folder.

 

Can you help me?

It keeps telling me the same error, even with this driver you sent.

 

***************

This VI is broken because it depends (possibly indirectly) upon a broken file. Fix the errors in the other file. Other errors listed here indicate how the other file is breaking this VI.

 

Broken dependency: RSSMB Initialize.vi

did you completely install 

Signal Generator LabVIEW instrument driver version 5.0.0

including the toolbox for your LabVIEW version?

Hi

 

I installed LabVIEW 2015 driver rsrfsiggen and that opened completely.

maybe you installed one of the other drivers like IVI. That one needs more.lower level drivers.

 

The best is download this 2015 driver and it will install in all LabVIEW versions from and including 2015.

In fact it asks you for which version you want to install the driver.

I downloaded this driver and when I try to use it asks for a .dll file that I cant find.

Hi

Can you give me the path to the vi you are trying to open?

I installed the driver in LV2020 32 bit and indeed do not have that problem.

Not even that dll but maybe because I have the 32 bit version of LabVIEW.

 

I can easily open a vi of the driver e.g. 

Initialize from the Rohde&Schwarz RF Signal Generator

no problem at all
