Agilent 34980A simulation using IVI-drivers in Teststand?

Hello! I am unable to simulate 34980A in TestStand and here are some results based on testing:

 


Agilent 34980A is linked to logical name SampleDmm. Simulate With: Specific Driver.


IviStepTypes.seq used with only DMM and Switch steps.

  • Using IviDMM IVI-C causes runtime-error in Ivi DMM Configure Single Point: Component Works IVI Control Error: The IVI Configure operation failed for logical name 'SampleDmm'. Details: Extension capability not supported by instrument driver.  (Base)
  • Using IviDMM IVI-COM causes runtime-error in Ivi DMM Read Single Point: Component Works IVI Control Error: The IVI Read operation failed for logical name 'SampleDmm'. Details: Attribute ID not recognized. [IVI Error Code:  BFFA000C] Source: TSIviStepTypes

 

  • Skipping Ivi DMM SFP -step removes that error but next one waits in Ivi DMM Configure Multi Point: Component Works IVI Control Error: The IVI Configure operation failed for logical name 'SampleDmm'. Details: Attribute or property not supported. [IVI Error Code:  BFFA0012] Source: TSIviStepTypes

 

  • Skipping multi point steps helps until Ivi Switch Connect where another error hits: Component Works IVI Control Error: The Connect operation failed for logical name 'SampleDmm'. Details: No path was found between the two channels. [IVI Error Code:  BFFA2011] Source: TSIviStepTypes


I find some similarities in forum post that involves HP 34401A and IVI .

According to IVI-C Class Driver Support for IVI-COM Specific Drivers the fault might be in 64 bit system (the note in the end). Is this the case? I can't use IVI-COM-drivers in 64bit system?

Example's default DMM Hewlett-Packard 34401A Digital Multimeter simulation works perfectly in unmodified example(it has IVI-C). It even shows simulated numbers in the SFP which is zero all the time with Agilent.

Has anyone succeeded to simulate 34980A properly in TestStand? Any knowledge about how to solve this thing? Any help is welcome. Thank you.

 

 

Setup:
-Teststand 5.1
-Windows 7 64bit
-IVI shared components 2.2.1
-Visa shared components 1.5 64bit
-Agilent IO libraries suite 16.3 Update 1
-Agilent 34980A IVI Driver 1.5.3

-MAX/Agilent 34980A published APIs:
    -IviDmm 4.1 IVI-COM (IVI-C tried with less success)
    -IviSwtch 4.0 IVI-C & IVI-COM
