IEEE USB not working

[andycalmeyn]

I using LV9.0 and was using and ICS USB_IEEE converter. The ICS USB work of awhile then would lock up. So I thought I would switch to an NI USB-IEEE. I reintalled the newest NI 488 drivers then reboot. The NI-IEEE would work with Automation explore but it will not work using labiew or and LV .exe. I tried to remake a simple IEEE write -read VI and it still doesn't work. Error (0). I then unistalled ICS completely and installed the NI-488 drivers again and still does't work.Any ideas?

Using window XP sp2 and IEEE driver was ver 2.8

Hi Andy, 

How extensively did you test the functionality in Measurement and Automation Explorer? Are you able to send/receive signals or collect data from your device by implementing tasks in MAX? If it works in Measurement and Automation Explorer, then it is likely that the GPIB IEEE is functional in connecting your device to the software. How are you calling to this device in LabVIEW? Receiving no functionality in LabVIEW but fine functionality in MAX does not indicate a problem with the cable. Please post more information regarding your set-up, what device you are connecting to as well as your LabVIEW program. 

Regards,

Jackie

Yes I could send and receive data in MAX. To get it to work again I installed IEEE driver using windows add/remove function. I then reinstalled driver. Now it is working. Not sure if my previous install of the driver didn't write over a DLL that was bad but uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the problem. THanks for your help
