I-V measurement

On the front panel there is a control called VISA Resource Name. There is an arrow on the right side of this. You should click on the arrow to get a drop down list of valid resources. Pick the one the points to your instrument. I don't know what sort of interface to the instrument you are using. It could be a com port, GPIB, Ethernet, etc. If you don't specify the interface, you will get this error.

Did you add the Ethernet interface in MAX? Right click on Devices and Interfaces and select Create New>VISA TCP/IP Resource. You have a couple of options depending on the type of Ethernet connection that the instrument supports.

Hello,

Thanks a lot i have done.After that what i have to do inorder to get interfaced with keithley 2611A

If the instrument now appears in MAX and you have validated communication there, it should be selectable from the VISA Resource Name control. In MAX, you can first click on the 'Open VISA Test Panel>Input/Output to send a simple query such as *IDN?.

Erro number: -1073807343

Please take a screen shot of the listing of the instrument in MAX and the VISA Test Panel where you have done the *IDN? query.

And, can you explain how you have configured the instrument? DHCP enabled?, IP address, is it on the same subnet as the pc?, connection to the pc (cross-over cable, hub on the network, etc.).
