Problem using 2 instruments with GPIB

$

Hello everybody,

 

I'm working in a program with LabView 2015 that control 2 instruments, the Rohde & Schwarz Smiq02b signal generator, and the Agilent EXA n9010a spectrum analyzer. I'm using the Agilent-82357B USB/GPIB cable to connect my laptop with these two instruments (PC -> EXA -> SMIQ). I've also installed both instruments drivers from their official websites.

 

The program worked properly until I had to format my computer and install LabView again but something is wrong now.


The problem comes when I run the program, the SMIQ02b can't initialize, the program stops and opens a new block diagram window. This block diagram belongs to a block of the instrument driver, inside this block diagram there is a VISA Write block blinking.

This only happens when I'm initializing two instruments in the same program, if I create a new VI and use the SMIQ only, I have no problems.

 

I don't know what's going on, It's very strange that it worked well before and now this happens.

 

This is what I've installed in my laptop:

- LabView 2015
- NI Device Drivers (Included NI-VISA 14.0 and NI-488.2 14.0)

- Agilent IO Libraries Suite 17.1 (Configured as secondary VISA)

- NI-VISA Passport for tulip ON

 

I'll be very thankful if somebody could help me with this.

 

Thanks!
