VISA problem with R&S

$
0
0

I have LV 2017, windows 10 1809.

VISA 18.5 and DAQmx 18.5

 

I am using Rohde&Schwarz FPC1000 (Spectrum Analyzer) and SMC100A (Signal Generator). 

 

I am not able to see any of them in NI MAX, both with USB and Ethernet.

I also updated the firmware, and reset the instrument.

Same thing happens on a new PC with windows 7 SP1

 

I also installed all drivers from the website of R&S.

 

AFAIK they give LabVIEW "drivers" that is basically SCPI commands over VISA, but also VXI and IVI drivers.

 

AFAIK I dont need IVI or VXI to use the LabVIEW VIs provided by R&S. I should only need VISA, but it doesn't work, the VISA resource name doesn't appear (see attached file).

 

Also IVI and VXI should not interfere with VISA.

 

The only working software is R&S own software that uses "R&S VISA". In that case the USB resource name is very odd, it is a string like:

USB::IDx1234:xxxxx:: 00000000-000000000-00000-0000000::instr

 

it's very odd with many zeroes.

 

Thanks for any help.
