I am trying to control a Keithley 2230-30-1 Tripple Channel DC Power supply with NI-VISA through USB.
When I connect the power supply and go to VISA interactive control, there are no options for a usb device. I know that the USB port I am using works, and that the PC recognizes that the device is manufactured by Keithley (using the lsusb command).
In addition, when I attempt to use the NI-VISA Driver wizard, the option to set up a USB device is grayed out.
So far I have had no success with this device. However, this PC and this version of NI-VISA has been able to sucessfully connect to and control a GPIB device using both LabVIEW and PyVISA.
I would appreciate any help I can get on this matter. Thank you.
Useful Information:
PC: Dell Optiplex 755
OS: Cern Scientific Linux 6 (SLC6) x86-64 (a distribution based on and
VISA version: Version 5.4 (32-bit version as there is no 64 bit Linux VISA yet)
I can post additional information if required.
