Error -1073807343 occurred at VISA Open

[Ahad_50Tesla]

Hello ni community,

I am kinda new to Labview. Currently, facing trouble with setting up a Kiethly source meter to get the IV data of my tunnel diodes. Whenever, I try to run the Keithly VI, it give me an error, "Error -1073807343". Which at first instant I thought it may have to do with the compatibility of my MacOS with Laview version. As my macOS version is 14.7 and Labview version is 2020. I found later by visiting the ni compatibility chart of Labview with macOS that they are not compatible. Which may or may not be the reason for its working. As things stand, I downloaded the Labview 2023 community version with patch and my ni VISA drivers and ni-488 are compatible with this version as per ni chart. So, even with my VI did't run, give me the same error. And I have look up on the internet, there were some suggestions related to this error but didn't help me much.

For reference, I have attached the screenshot. I think, for being beginner level I might be missing something to make it run. Please let me know, if I have't clearly state my problem. Thanks.

Did you check on the device itself that its GPIB primary address is set to 19? It’s kind of a strange value for a default value and even if they are shipped with that address by default, a previous user of the device may have changed it.

Yes my device GPIB is set at 19, which I further verified in device configuration settings. 

As a part of trouble shooting I also tried to open up the GPIB explorer app which is in NI-488-2 folder. But its throw me an error, "The attempted operation failed", I am also attaching it here too incase if someone is familiar with. In nutshell I have a problem with communication. 

I really appreciate your involvement in this problem.

The Keithley device itself has both a setting for GPIB Address and a separate setting for remote interface that can choose from RS 232 or GPIB.  It is probably set wrong.

Hmmm.... What GPIB interface are you using? 

I had a problem with an Agilent USB-GPIB, it needed the Tulip driver enabled to work

Open NI-MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer)

On the menu bar click on Tools---->NI VISA----->Visa Options

Select Passports from the tree under General Settings

Make sure NiVisaTulip.dll (Ni-VISA Passport for Tulip) is checked

Jay, I verified it the address are fine. I think I'am facing a hidden GPIB problem.

If that is a 2400, there is also a remote enable switch on the rear panel.  My cal lab used to flip that darn thing on me.
