List of Measurements Agilent 4294a

[achouch]

Hello everybody, 

I was controlling in LabView an Agilent 4294a to measure the Impedanz without problems until I decided one day to try something (I wanted to aquire a list of measurements from the Agilent and not just a single measurement in a Loop)

so I began to follow the manual instructions of 'Preparing list sweep table' and stopped when I saw that the steps are too many and that I won't be able to complete them before going home.

but now I can't controll it from Labview anymore and I am recieving this Error (when I use the initialise VI) message (it says that I may have selected a wrong instrument but I am sure of the com port)

what do you think it could be ? 

I think there is specific settings to set to be able to controll it from LabView ? I have no experience in this matter and I would be so grateful if someone could help me with this...

Why are you using the 34401a Init.VI for the 4294a?  I think you just pulled in the wrong VI for the 4294a initialize and it won't work because it is expecting the ID query string to be from a 34401a not a 4294a.  Use the init VI from the 4294a driver and you will be fine.
