Hi all,

I have a communication problem between labview and my Fluke187 multimeter. I downloaded from the Ni site the driver and an simple example. When I run the example I get the attached error message. Is it a configuartion issue of  the COM port or what?

Many thanks for your help

Best Regards

Hi neona,

The error message is not visible, maybe you can attach it as a file!

Sorry...

Hi neona,

I found no concret information concerning this error, but i would recommend to check if you have the correct VISA resource name, even if you have VISA installed, and if you switch to the blockdiagramm, just reset the device in the first function.

BR, Christian

Hello Neona,

Is everything working?

As Christian mentioned, resetting the device has helped me in the past with third party drivers and this was a recommendation from Fluke. Also you may want to try using an NI Spy capture of what is going on when the error occurs. NI Spy is a utility that logs all calls made by the NI-VISA driver (along with other NI drivers). It should be located under Start > All Programs > National Instruments. Simply click the arrow at the top, and all calls to the driver will be logged. If you could send an NI Spy log of the error, we will be able to see exactly what function is causing the error, and some more insight into why the error is occurring.

Good luck,

Hi Christian and Jordan,

sorry but I wasn't in office last days... Now it works! I think it was a COM conflict issue.

Many thanks for your help.
