I use a VXI mainframe E8404A (Agilent) that includes 11x E8311A units 1x E8311A unit and command module for GPIB.
We use the hpe...dll drivers with LabVIEW8.2 and windows XP without problems, "*IDN?" is ok
MAX recognize all the units.
No i want to write a driver with VISA for use in future for LabVIEW2010 and windows 7.
I use and write it now under LaBVIEW8.2 and windows XP:
I use VISA open and want to write with VISA write the "*IDN?" etc. But i get the error -1073807257 from the VISA write.
If i use only VISA open and close then no error occurs and the front indicator on the units are lighting up (paas for all units).
I tried with "*IDN?\n" or "*IDN?\r" use "\" or "*RST"code but again error occurs.
Every VISA write command behind open gives an error.
If i use property aftyer VISA open to read back fi "General Settings:Slot" that works good.
Remarks:
VISA write "*IDN?" to mainframe and command module works good.
I've attached vi with with "*IDN?" ( testidClockcard3.vi)
and one that reads a lot of info (this passes) ,(testidclockcard12.vi)
Please advise?
Kind regards,

Hi,
I did never get an answer about the question below.
Now we are using windows7 with hpe8306a_32 (32 bits dll drivers from Agilent), and that works for many years.
We are using LabVIEW 2011, because it's working and we have also test systems in other countries.
I use now Windows 10 (64 bit) with labview2011 (32bits) and that works.
But it doesn't work with the 32 bits dll drivers form Agilent (VXI).
I try to create with VISA (SCPI commands) as described in the past (expect not depending on the 32 bits dll).
We are using a VXI system and I see that the clock card unit led goes on when send the VISA open , but get an error at VISA (SCPI command *CLR).
How can I solve this?
Kind Regards, Bernard Arts
