I've been using this driver with KE2400 under LV2009 since a while, with no problem...

Did you check communication with instrument under NI-MAX?

Does the instrument react to very simple commands? (e.g. "*IDN")

Can you please post the VI (even a simplified version) where you use the driver? (Please post a jpg or a LV-2009 compatible version)

Regards

Thanks for your reply. I have posted the VI and a screen print of MAX communication.

Everything works fine on my system, here's the output:

- Can you try the VI on a LV2009 system?

- Are you sure you don't have any conflict on the GPIB bus? Try disconnecting everything else from the GPIB0 interface.

I wish I could help more, sorry...

Can you try checking what version/vendor of VISA you have?  If you do not have NI-VISA you might try installing it.

[Jenth]

I dont have NI-VISA installed in my computer. What version should I download. can you post the link?

Hi Jenth,

You can find the latest VISA driver here.

I downloaded NI-VISA latest version and still the problem exists. It still show the same errors. I am using a GPIB-USB-HS and Labview 2010, windows XP. I couldn't figure out where the problem is. Do you have any other suggestions that I could try?

Could the problem be due to Labview 2010? Can anyone check the same program with Keithley 2400 and Labview 2010. I have attached the program in my previous post.
