After upgrading to the latest MAX, it could no longer detect the instruments attached to my Agilent E5810A LAN/GPIB. I applied the fix suggested in "NI KnowledgeBase" "Using NI-VISA 5.2 or greater with the Agilent E5810A LAN/GPIB Gateway" and it sort of worked. Now when validating an instrument attached to the E5810A, TCPIP0::[IPADDRESS]::gpib0,6::INSTR"[VISA Alias]", MAX just return error code 0xBFFF00A5. And to boot, all instruments that previously where working are now returning the same error.
I also applied "KnowledgeBase" "Error -1073807195 When Using VISA Test Panel with GPIB Instrument" and it did not help. All passports under NI-VISA are selected to no avail. When trying to open a VISA session or verifying connection all I get from MAX is error 0xBFFF00A5 - The interface type is valid, but the specified interface is not configured".
Tried reverting to the original state, (un-checking "NiVisaTulip.dll"), but it did not make any difference. Seems that I am stuck.
Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
