Hi,

 

For my application I need to communicate with two instruments using two gpib-usb-hs devices. I am using Windows XP, Labview 6.1, MAX version 5.1 and NI488.2  version 2.42. I have checked and this ni488.2 driver should be compatible with my gpib-usb-hs devices and my versions of windows and labview. I have also tried older and newer versions of NI488.2 with no success.

 

I can communicate with my instruments properly in MAX, indicating to me that the devices themselves are functional. When I try to communicate with my instruments through labview (using the gpib example in labview), only one of the gpib-usb-hs devices communicates successfully. The other device returns the error EDVR: Error connecting to driver or device.

 

I am really not sure where to go from here. The only under thing that I found strange was that the working gpib-usb-hs had has a visa alias name assigned to it while the unworking device has none. I tried giving it an alias name but this did not help.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
