MAX sees no PCMCIA-GPIB or GPIB-USB-B

I use a system inherited from Windows XP SP3 with MAX 3.1 and NOR-488. 2 V2.1. I use a PCMCIA-GPIB or GPIB-USB-B card.

When you are logged into an administrator account there is no problem; both devices appear in MAX and in the WIndows Device Manager.

When you are connected to a user account with limited privileges, the devices appear in device to WIndows, but No Manager to the MAX, but the screw and the compiled exe I user still works correctly. However, if I convert the account to an administrator account, the devices are visible, but this isn't a solution because "Security".

The problem lies in the compiled exe files as their respective screws have been lost over time and address of the PCMCIA or USB interface are hardcoded and are not the same in all the exe files. I would appreciate any idea you may have.

Hi Maelmorde,

If some features don't work for users with reduced privileges you may need to grant them privileges in National Instruments installation directory, the method is detailed in the article here.

I recommend trying it to see if it helps.

  • GPIB-USB-HS shows no MAX after that I used the wizard NI VISA DRIVER

    I accessed GPIB USB HS in the MAX software. As I was not able to communicate NF RLC remotely, so I tried Wizard DRIVER VISA OR according to tutorial Assistant pilot NI VISA , however, thnings went wrong and I am not able to see same GPIB to the MAX software now. What should I do now?

    The first picture below shows the GPIB USB HS as shown in the software MAX and the other image shows no GPIB USB HS.

  • GPIB-USB-HS will recognize any instrument in LabVIEW but somewhat done in MAX - help

    Hello

    I'm having a problem getting my GPIB-USB-HS device to recognize instruments in LabVIEW.  The unit has been running year last on many instruments.  I tried the GPIB-USB-HS other materials too just to make sure it wasn't a defective unit.

    NOTE: I installed the latest drivers for NI-VISA 5.1.1 and 300 of NOR-488. 2 for Windows XP

    See the images below:

    It's the idsplay to the MAX:
    I'm not sure why there is a yellow "!" next to GPIB0::INTFC, I think it's an indication of my question.  However, note that the instruments connected to my GPIB-USB-HS are counted in MAX.  As you'll see LabVIEW 8.5 does not recognize them.

    I get this error Max warning when I try to open TOOLS > NI-VISA > VISA INTERACTIVE CONTROL:

    Thank you all for your help,

    Problem solved after hours of uninstallation and reinstallation of all devices/software from National Instruments.

    Once all programs have been uninstalled (with a disk cleanup on my unnecessary hard-maybe records)

    LabVIEW 8.5.1 has been reinstalled

    NOR-DAQ has been reinstalled

    NI-Visa 5.1.1 has been reinstalled

    NOR-488. 2 worm 2.7.3 has been re-installed (correctly)

    Now, LabVIEW recognizes all ports/devices and connects to the instruments properly once more.

    My question must have been installing LabVIEW 8.5.1 after already installing LabVIEW 2009.

    Somewhere during the installation of 8.5.1 - main post problem occurred.

  • I have two devices gpib-usb-hs; two of them work in MAX, but will only work in labview, help please?

    Hello

    For my application, I need to communicate with two instruments by using both devices gpib-usb-hs. I use Windows XP, Labview 6.1, MAX 5.1 version and NI488.2 version 2.42. I checked and this ni488.2 driver should be compatible with my devices gpib-usb-hs and my versions of windows and labview. I also tried versions older and more recent NI488.2 without success.

    I can communicate with my instruments properly in MAX, tell me that the devices themselves are functional. When I try to connect with my instruments using labview (using the example of gpib of labview), only devices gpib-usb-hs communicates with success. The other device returns the EDVR error: connection to the device or driver error.

    I don't really know where to go from here. The only thing I found strange was that the gpib-usb-hs work was has an alias name assigned visa while the unworking device does not. I tried to give him an alias name, but this did not help.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    There are many free tutorials on GPIB. It should explain how the various instruments can be connected to a single controller.

    That being said, even if it's unnecessary, you should have no problem with multiple controllers on the same pc. The two being connected, they pass all the tests in MAX? You are using an old driver and seem to have tried several different versions. I suspect a driver issue, and I advise you to uninstall all the drivers GPIB and VISA and then start again. But not all necessary can be done to satisfy your curiosity.

  • MAX does not detect my instrument 488.2 GPIB-USB-HS, but Windows XP Device Manager only

    Hello

    I have a problem when you use the 488.2 GPIB-USB-HS, I see the device in Windows XP Device Manager, but it is not visible in the MAX, I do not see even a section for devices GPIB. However, when I try to install a new device, GPIB, the Wizard MAX tells me that it is one of the instruments GPIB installed on the computer which GPIB0 - USB-GPIB-HS. Do you know what is the reason to do this, because I want to use a multimeter in LabVIEW via GPIB, but I can't access it, I don't even see that there is a GPIB connection in the computer (in LabVIEW).

  • Connectivity of VISA GPIB/USB Agilent 82357 B

    Hello

    I'm under LabVIEW 8.5 on a 8106 PXI controller.  I connect to an Agilent E3632A DC Power Supply via an Agilent 82357 B GPIB/USB cable.  I installed the Agilent IO 15.5 Library Suite and have NI-VISA 4.4.1 installed as well.  All my gear of PXI chassis and NEITHER appear in MAX.

    Activation of the NI-VISA for Tulip Passport

    For software OR recognize the Agilent material, you must activate the Passport NOR VISA for Tulip. It is a software module that is included with NI-VISA for support of Agilent material and is not enabled by default. Use the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX NOR) to activate the passport for Tulip.

    In versions 3.0 and later of NEITHER MAX, you can do:

    Beginning NOR MAX
    Click Tools > NI-VISA > VISA Options...
    In the tree, select passports.
    Select the passport for the Tulip checkbox.
    Click Save to save the settings
    Output OR MAX, wait a few seconds and restart NI MAX (you must restart NI MAX for your changes to take effect).

    For details specific to your version of MAX to OR see documentation of NOR.

  • Connection of an instrument with GPIB-USB connection.

    I am trying to use a GPIB-USB adapter to control a unit of Source of LabView. However, I have problems my instrument drivers to recognize the GPIB address specified for the device. I have attached an image below the address specified by IO Keysight connection Expert. I am currently trying to initialized the EMS with the GPIB driver I have attached below. Because of my knowledge limited in LabView instrument control, how should I approach of collecting the correct address of GPIB and recognize it in my VI?

    Hi wyattcurtis824,

    Before we dig into the LabVIEW code, I would recommend a Test Panel of max aperture and trying to communicate with. Are you able to send orders via Keysight connection Expert or NI MAX and see the valid data?

    In addition, when you run the vi in LabVIEW, is pilot it returns an error in the error on the box? If so, what the error is?

    This shoule information help us to the root of the problem.

  • GPIB-USB-HS and USB-8451 communication issues - appearing only in VISA

    Hello

    I recently started a new job and have had communication problems between my adapter GPIB-USB-HS, my VISA or MAX-Labview and USB-8451 I2C/SPI interface.  I installed LabView to 32 bits, OR-488. 2, the driver for the 8451 on my windows desktop and VISA 16.0 7.

    In the windows Device Manager, the 8451 appears as a device USB of NI-VISA and Gbspecifications FOR-USB-HS presents itself as a GPIB Interface of NOR.  Two of these instruments are recognized NI Max so but communication Gbspecifications FOR add-in adapter (and connected instruments) fails and he can't find the instruments and the self-test fails with a hardware error unknown gpib (-37052).  The watch also neither device VISA Interactive Control.

    The ready light is lit on the GPIB-USB adapter and the 8451 flashes green as if nothing is wrong at the end.  I uninstalled all the software of NOR and reinstalled, and I run MAX as an administrator.  Is there possibly some computer settings I could neglect or need to change to open a communication?  Any other ideas on why I can't communicate with devices?

    Thank you!

    This is a device-Lock software that my it was preinstalled on the computer blocks the USB port.  SHE has added features like confidence, and now it works.

  • Error of Driver GPIB-USB-HS - 10 possibly after Feb Windows Update Windows

    Starting from 17/02/2016, GPIB-USB-HS material (2) is no longer connecting on 10 of Windows using NI488.2 Rev 15 15/8 with the 15.0.1 patch.

    Using VMWare player 7.1.3, the VM sees the material, connects, turn lights and then turn off. The virtual machine shows "Driver error" unable to connect to the USB device. This has been tested with two USB devices that have worked with the same setup for a few years now on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 using VMate 7.x and 12. xs

    Possibly this is related to the last update of Windows,

    Repair, or a full installation of rev 15 NI488.2 solves this problem.

    VISA still works via TCP/IP.

    Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

    Update: the pilot is still alive.

    The latest version of Windows, which has been applied to the host system 05/03/2016, restores the driver under the guest virtual machine feature. Revisions to operating system host and client are now at 10586.122.

  • GPIB-USB > OR 120?

    1.

    Can always use 28 (2 x 14) features if I will use my NI 120 - A GPIB Extender/isolator with a NI GPIB USB converter? (Instead of max 14 machines of the converter NI GPIB USB itself?

    2.

    What is the difference between GPIB-USB B and HS? (different speeds...?)  If so which speeds? )

    Thank you

    Dennis_Knutson wrote:

    The HS uses a proprietary technology to expand 7.9 Mbps speed, but instruments also supports the HS standard. Use the HS if you have the choice.

    I wouldn't say HS488 exclusive at this stage, as it was added to the IEEE standard, but not all the instrument providers have chosen to use.

    Even if your instruments do not support the HS488 to approach the 7.9 Mbps Dennis mentioned, you can always get the best performance by using a GPIB-USB-HS. The GPIB-USB-B speed is limited by the maximum USB 1.1 speed, while the GPIB-USB-HS is a USB 2.0 device. This allows the GPIB-USB-HS to deliver about 1.8 MB/s using the traditional handshake GPIB, if your instrument is able to support. The GPIB-USB-B could reach only about 1 MB/s. The difference would be more visible if you use instruments that transfer large amounts of data back through the bus.

    You should also consider that the GPIB-USB-B was not produced by OR for many years, so everything you buy is going to be very old. Even the GPIB-USB-HS also was replaced last year by the most recent card GPIB-USB-HS +. While that still USB 2.0, the GPIB-USB-HS + has a faster processor, reducing the latency on many operations. It also includes bus GPIB analyzer capabilities, if you need to debug to the GPIB signal level.

  • GPIB instrument legacy Microlink 4000 using GPIB-USB-HS

    Hi all

    I face three recorders of older data, Microlink 4000, connected through GPIB and interfacing with my PC through GPIB-USB-HS.

    There is no drivers for data loggers...

    Their main in MAX addresses are displayed and I am able to send commands, but I'm not sure what to do now to begin to read the data recorded by each module.

    I think that I am just not access to the secondary address of each module or using the wrong commands. I've scoured the web for the manuals and orders 488,1 but they do not work in the interactive control of VISA.

    that is (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Read error occurs whenever I ask devices...

    Specification of the system:

    • power supply 3 x 4301
    • control units 3 x 4300
    • basic unit of time 1 x 4010
    • 34 x 4030 (12 Bit A - D converters)

    I apologize if I have not attached enough information still very new to LabVIEW and MAX.

    Please advise!

    Thank you very much

  • KEITHLEY 238 / NI GPIB-USB-HS-change delay time

    Hello

    I have a keithley 238 meters the current measures such as voltage is swept. It's the GPIB device and connected to my PC via NI GPIB-USB-HS

    adapter. I would like to control with Labview 8.6. I used the VI available at your instrument driver network who directed me to the website keithley and is attached below. Keithley said that the VI is unsupported freeware. The VI is located at

    http://www.Keithley.com/products/CurrentVoltage/?path=238/downloads#1

    The first "sample program" on this site Web is the VI that I use.

    Now the VI works well.  The VI sweeps the tension and shows the current measured as a table and a chart.

    I want to just change the scanning time, but I can't increase it beyond 1000 ms. Why is it so?

    Scan delay is the time that he made a break after each increment of voltage.

    I don't know if there's a change in the VI or NI GPIB-USB-HS adapter settings are a problem. I checked the settings of this device under MAX - time settings are the following

    (1) time I / O-> by default set to 13 (10 sec)

    (2) antipolling - verified

    (3) then there are a few termination settings and advanced settings, there is a setting, bus game calendar to-2 (500nsec)

    So are bad parameters GPIB or code needs to be changed? How and where to change the code?

    The reason why the VI will not attribute to a value greater than 1000 is simple to understand. Just right click and select data entry and you will see that the maximum value is set to 1000. It is set so that I don't know. Have you looked in the manual to see if 1 s is a limitation of the instrument?

  • Question of GPIB-USB-HS

    Hello everyone, I have 5 machines hooked: set of 2 meters, which connect to a power supply that goes to a function generator and led to a thermostream which then my GPIB-USB-HS is used to hang my computer. I am running an executable file from a previous VI, I tested on the computer that has the original VI. I have the correct runtime downloaded, and I can open the VI. There isn't an arrow broken for the execution button, but when I run it, it immediately stops running as if the VI running, but nothing happens. No errors or messages. It's as if nothing does not communicate. So my first instinct was to control the GPIB. They are all tight, and I checked to see if maybe the instruments were not recognized by the GPIB-USB-HS, but MAX watch I have all 5 connected instruments when I 'Search tools'. On the GPIB-USB-HS, there are a light yellow/orange on the loan and nothing on the assets. The GPIB correspond all too much, and the address for the GPIB-USB-HS is set to 0.

    Thank you.

    You can create the exe with active debugging and place probes to determine what is and what is not running.

    Also, you don't mention if you have installed the runtime of NI-VISA.

  • Agilent E3640A PSU with GPIB-USB-HS

    Hello all, I created an Agilent E3640A power control software standard interface GPIB. It works very well. Now, I want to replace the standard GPIB interface (with GPIB card) with GPIB-USB-HS adapter cable, so that I can send commands via USB connection, eliminating the need for GPIB card. How can I use my existing application to work with GPIB-USB-HS adapter cable? Is this a change? or I completely rewrite the code, and if so, are the drivers available for GPIB-USB-HS adapter cable? Thanks Jeet

    More information please.

    Have you removed the PCI interface before you try the USB interface? If this is not the case, your program may still try to access the E3640A on the PCI card.

    What is the USB HS recognized in Explorer measurement and automation as GPIB0?

    The E3640A knows if scan you for Instruments to MAX?

    What (number) error is raised during the execution of your program with USB HS?

    It would also help if you could show us NI SPY logs saved when executing your program with PCI and USB-Interface Card

    Usually you don't need to install different drivers, because the package NOR-488. 2 installs drivers for all variants of the NI GPIB hardware.
