GPIB USB for 6517 keithley elecctrometer

[nml@12345]

I want to connect keithley 6517B electrometer with the labVIEW  through the GPIB cable KUSB 488B. I do not find any error in the NI MAX and the VISA interactive control. But it is not communicating with the labVIEW. I have checked all the version compatibility which all are OK.

In LabVIEW it is constantly showing one error -1073807346 everytime. It can't able to access the resource.

I need suggestions to troubleshoot the problem.

Hi nml,

is MAX showing your GPIB interface in its devices tree?

Does MAX detect any connected GPIB devices when the Keithley is switch on?

Can you use the VISAInteractiveControl to communicate with your device?

Hello GerdW (Knight of NI)....

Yes NI MAX is showing the instrument connectivity at its devices tree. Also it is reading and writing at VISA interactive control but not showing at labVIEW initialization of   6517 B electrometer and displaying the same error

Hi nml,

so in MAX you can communicate with that device, but not with your VI?

Then you made something wrong in the VI and you need to debug it!

Hello GerdW (Knight of NI) ,

            I have checked all the configurations but not able to find anything wrong. Can you explain me what is the -1073807346 error in labview which is coming in the initialisation palette of the device.

Regards

Right-click the error cluster border and select "Explain error"…

(This is pretty basic LabVIEW stuff: did you take the "Training resources" offered in the header of the LabVIEW board?)

Hi,

Let me tell you my problem in another way. I see my device in NI max but not in Labview 2017 device just don't appear under 'VISA resource name'.

Hi nml,

it's quite frustrating to suggest possible solutions (or even ideas) when you don't even show a screenshot, not to mention a VI…

[nml@12345]

Here the VISA resource name is not showing anything.

Hi nml,

so you don't input anything in this control and then you wonder about an "invalid resource" error? Really???

Which VISA resource name is shown in MAX?

Can't you use something like "GPIB0::4::INSTR" as resource name?
