My Yokogawa WT500 power meter does not show up in NI MAX.

[IsaiahRyan]

Hi,

I'm trying to communicate via USB with a Yokogawa WT500 power meter but it won't show up in NI MAX under "Devices and Interfaces". I'm running LabVIEW 2013 on Windows 10. I have NI-VISA 16.0 installed as well. When I plug in the device, it shows up in Device Manager under "Other Devices" as "WT500".

It should show up under "USB Test and Measurement Devices".

How can I fix this?

I solved it!

I just downloaded the latest Windows driver for USB Test and Measurement Device (IVI).

Here is where I downloaded it from: http://www.drivermax.com/driver-download/0/USBTESTANDMEASUREMENTDEVICE/IVI+Foundation,+Inc/USB+Test+...)

I don't know if I would trust anything from a sketchy outlet like Drivermax... You are just asking for malware.

Here is a link to the WT500 "Certified LabVIEW Plug and Play Instrument Driver" from the NI Instrument Driver Network,

 And here is a link to get them directly from Yokogawa

Oh and IVI shared components are best downloaded from the IVI Foundation.

Yes, it would be best to download straight from IVI Foundation.
