Hello,
i am with windows 10 with labview 2018 and NI-VISA 18.0
the problem is MAX is not showing the keithley 2420 in ""device and interface"" section on the left,though its showing when i am opening visa interactive control by going to tools<ni visa control,
the program i made detected the "visa resource name" and then the program ran but when i am running an .exe nothing is not happening.
i have tried everything but nothing is working and same problem is coming with windows xp version system with respective drivers and applications installed

Hi jyot,
as the Keithley DMM is no NI device it will not show up in the "devices" subtree in MAX: here only NI devices are listed!
When the device is connected by RS232, LAN or GPIB it might pop up under VISA, as VISA is handling those ports.
the program i made detected the "visa resource name" and then the program ran but when i am running an .exe nothing is not happening.
There propably "something" happens! Did you do some error handling? Are there any error messages/numbers popping up?
same problem is coming with windows xp version system
Don't use WinXP nowadays anymore…

Hi gredW,
I didn't do anything like error handling and other thing.I just simply took out the keithley connected to winxp system (when it was off) and took it to connect with my laptop.but when I connected it again nothing is happening (no error), even the keithley is not in (REM,Listen/talk mode),but here again in winxp also the keithley is communicating when I open in "visa interactive control"
I can't update the windows as there are other programs ( softwares) in the system like chemical vapour deposition and others. So anything else that I should be doing?

Hi Gredw,
yeah,
it has been installed correctly,though the device(keithley)is not showing up in my win10 in NI MAX,but its showing in VISA INTERACTIVE CONTROL,and then i when run the program with address (visa resource name) it runs,but not with .exe (application).
same goes with winxp system
keithley driver software-kussb,interface is IEEE 488.2 (GPIB,Serial)

The manual for that kUSB GPIB controller contains a subject "Using Keithly controllers with NI Software " try reading it.
Trust me, it helps to RTFM.
