Is the WT3000 driver the correct one for WT333E power analyzer?
I have been trying to get a connection to a Yokogawa WT333E power analyzer, but keep running into issues. I finally got it to show up in MAX as a WT series USB device (had to delete the drive so it shows as an IVI device in Windows device manager) and can connect to it using the VISA Test Panel but cannot get the connection in LabVIEW to work.
When I try to use the Instrument Driver Finder or Instrument Driver Network to get the driver for WT300 series, it keeps downloading or pointing me to the WT3000 series driver. I downloaded that driver but using the simplest example sketch I get an "Error -1074003951 occurred at Yokogawa WT3000E Series.lvlib:Initialize.vi" when trying to connect. The ID Query in VISA test shows:
1: Write Operation (*IDN?\n)
Return Count: 6 bytes
2: Read Operation
Return Count: 33 bytes

Thanks.

I found the WT300E series drivers and examples in the Instrument Driver Network site when looking under LabVIEW 2018. When clicking for LabVIEW 2021, the incorrect WT3000 series driver is downloaded. The incorrect WT3000 driver is also downloaded when using the Find Instrument Drivers in LabVIEW, even when searching based on the connected WT333E.
I downloaded the WT300E series drivers from here (2018 link) and manually moved it to the instr.lib folder (in ProgramFiles x86) and that got it working.
Does anyone know the correct place to raise this issue? With NI or Yokogawa?
