Using Agilent 34970A in LabView yields error code -1073807343

The driver wizard has absolutely nothing to do with your controller. Don't run that unless you want to create a VISA interface to a new pci or USB device.

I'm not familiar with the Mac screens but you must have done a scan for instruments at some time since it's listed as a resource. In the windows version of MAX, you right click on the GPIB controller and select 'Scan for Instruments'. Since the instrument is listed as a valid VISA resource, I'm not sure what could be wrong. When you click on the little arrow on the right side of the VISA Resource Control, does it list GPIB0::9::INSTR?

This is weird. When i go back to NI-VISA Configuration it doesn't show the GPIB0::9::INSTR anymore.

What did you mean click on the little arrow on the right side of the visa resource control?

[Andrew Tsai]

restarted computer and VISA sees my GPIB again.

little  arrow on the right?

do the addresses have to be the same?

[Dennis_Knutson]

They CAN'T be the same.

Your VISA Resource control is what you have on the block diagram.
