Switch Matrix 707 B communication issue through LabVIEW 2017

[Aashi]

Hi

I am going through very hard time now a day. I am using 707B switch matrix and want to access/control through Labview 2017. Available LabVIEW drivers for 707B are LabVIEW 2009 based while I am using 2017. 

When I initialize system via GPIB attached error occurs.

Please guide me and if anybody have 2017 LabVIEW compatible driver please share.

I am also attaching avaialbe labview drivers.

Did you read the error description?

Did you compare the ID response with the expected data inside this Initialize function?

Can you communicate with your device at all?

What have you done to debug that issue?

LV2017 can easily load and run LV2009-based code, so the driver is "compatible"!

According to that ID check the driver also is made for your 707B device…

Ok

I was worried may be issue is due to driver in 2009. Even than this device is not communicating when I simply execute initialize VI which I am attaching too, it does not execute. Please help me why not functioning.

Initialize Vi is attached here.

Inititalize VI is here still not communicating please help,.

There is no VI attached to your message…

What have you tried so far?

Are you able to test the communication with your device in MAX?

Can you request the ID in MAX' GPIB testpanel?

Does the device appear in the GPIB devices list?

[Aashi]

Hi

I have checked device is appearing in GPIB Device list snapshot attached.

I have further checked communication in MAX by sending IDN command. Its response is proper snapshot attached.

Even than when I try to execute initialize VI. It gives same error.

I am attaching all pics please give your expert opinion.

I am also attaching Initialize VI.

The title of your thread is about "SwitchMatrix 707B", but in your "Comm response" image we clearly can see you are using a 707A…

In the initialize VI the IDN response is checked for "KEITHLEY INSTRUMENTS INC.", but in "Comm response" image this string is missing! That's why that error is reported: the expected IDN response is not received by the VI…

Again: follow the error explanation and disable the ID query!
