Hello,
I'm using five measurement devices for my test rig and sometimes I have communication problems with two measurement devices. It is weird, because this problem is only sometimes and not always. I am controlling the devices with a VI that I have created on LabView 2014. The Keithley 2400 and the ILX Lightwave LDT 5910 b do not work fine. All measurement devices are connected with GPIB. To scan the measurement devices I am using NI MAX. Sometimes the devices are shown as Instrument 0/1/2/3/4 instead of their model name. In this case the communication is not working. Currently I am solving these communication problems by turning off and on the measurement devices or changing the device with an other.
Due to the fact that this can not be a solution, I want to know whether you can recommend an other way to solve this communication problem.
I hope, you can help me.
Best regards
Samim
