Hey
I'm trying to connect to a DS345 function generator with Agilent 82347B GPIB-USB.
Let me first start by saying, I've read most posts i found on this board and others regarding this topic and could not find a solution to my problem.
After following the installation steps (here) and settings (here) when trying to run an auto scan in connection export (ver 18.0 i've also tried older version down to 15) the GPIB interface is recognized, but the devise connected to it is not recognized (I've tried to use SRS DS345 and SRS SR865). If I go to NI MAX (ver 17) I can see the interface but again no instrument (of course i verified the GPIB address in my device), if I manually add the devise in connection expert only then can i see the instrument both in connection expert and ni max. But I cant even sent *IND? command both in NI max (Hex 0xBFFF0015) and connection expert (0xBFFF0015). Also if i try to use NI Max VISA interactive control I get an error message ( 0xBFFF003A) see attached files for all the errors I get.
In the past I had no problem connecting to this device with the same setup (older versions of NI MAX and connection expert), since, I've installed an optical design program called OSLO by Lambda Research and in order to install it's security usb dongle I had to follow these instructions to activate it. The first thing I tried to fix this possible conflict was to remove the logos.ini file i've created but no luck there.
I'm not sure if the last part have any connection to the problem, but i'm really lost here.
Appreciate any help!
