USB6008 as a VISA device

I am trying to use a USB6008 like a VISA system. After going through procedures of installation to install OR-DAQmxBase, 370 - Windows 7 - firmware update for mxBase, etc., and it is recognized-

Start the 'VISA Interactive Control' and try to make a query "* IDN?" \n', but the answer is:

Read operation
Error

VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) timeout expired before the operation is complete.

Tried to go by the «Wizard of Driver NI-VISA - for this, it's thing but nothing changes...»

I assume that if it's a device, that it must meet VISA controls, using the procedures of VISA or VISA the USB6008 is a VISA that is not compatible VISA?

Am I missing something? Any suggestions?

Thank you

Joe Rosa

Yep, I was wrong. You can contact VISA on some DAQ hardware, this example uses the driver development kit, but it is not very typical and most of the time DAQmx or DAQmx base is used. However, it seems that there are details on the unit in RAW mode, which looks like you already did.

It's called the programming at the registry level. You must use the driver Development Kit material measure. There is more detail on the Architecture, Supportand FAQ here.

Looking at the FAQ page, there is a list of "Supported hardware" and the bad news is that the USB-6008 box is not there. Not sure the rules completely out, but you would be well served to go to the Driver Development Kit forum and ask for help with the 6008 there.

  • VISA devices with the same serial number and the vendor ID does not work (0xBFFF003A)

    Hi all

    I need to acquire the data of two meters of power YOKOGAWA with VISA driver (USB connection).

    They work very well if used alone, but they do not work when are used toghether. In particular, when I plug in and turn on the two of them, NOR MAX shows me the following error message:

    0XBFFF003A (VI_ERROR_INV_SETUP)

    viFindRsrc return 0xBFFF003A (cannot start the operation because the installer is not valid (because of attributes defined in an inconsistent state).)

    Please make sure that VISA is properly installed on this system.

    Possible causes of this error:
    1. more than one passport may be to attempt to claim the same resource.  You can try to disable passport to understand which Passport is the cause of the error.
    2 you have connected multiple no configured plug-and-play devices that have the same name of the resource. For example, the vendor ID and the serial number may be the same.

    In fact, according to MAX, both power meters have the same serial number and the same vendor ID; so, this seems to be the reason why they do not work together.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you all


  • NI-VISA takes a unique I.D. number for each USB device?

    Hi all

    I'm relatively new to LabVIEW and VISA Toolbox.

    When you communicate with LabVIEW and a USB via VISA, VISA shoots a D.I. unique number for the USB device for each connection established?

    I have reference: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4713/en

    Kind regards

    Bryan

    Bryan,

    I don't understand what you're saying, so let me rephrase my answer and see that if this may help you - IF your device properly implements the USB standard and has a serial number, VISA uses this serial number.  If your device does not implement the USB standard correctly or if it does not have a serial number, VISA will do for you.

    If your device has a serial number, the VISA can be used to communicate with it.  There are routines that detect and identify VISA devices connected to your PC.

  • Find resources VISA does not display my USB/GPIB device

    Hello

    I'm using LabView 8.0 with MAX 4.2.1.3001. I try to communicate with a former HP8563E Spectrum Analyzer with a GPIB to USB with VISA vi device nothing helps. When you try to find any valid VISA device with the vi 'VISA find resource' no device is returned. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

    -Chris

    Finally, I'll be back around him and the VISA drivers were not installed. This me baffled because in the latest versions of LabView, as 6.0, screws requiring some drivers (like writing serial port) were not available unless the associated drivers have been installed. Perhaps this philosophy has changed in more recent versions. In any case, thanks for your help

    Hi Alzaabi

    I wish that you check different threads here in the forum before opening a new topic of Vista drivers.
    Someone posted this link to the document from Toshiba:

  • Error with Visa and USB device

    Hello

    I am currently working on a VI to use visa to get information from a USB device. The device is a digital-line tachometer.

    I was able to get the drivers USB and everything set and the device appears in MAX, but now I get an error after the open block of visa, and I don't know why.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, but I don't know that anyone will be able to do, because you probably don't have the same one.

  • Comm port not detected by VISA / MAX after the device power cycle connected

    I have a device communicating via USB virtual comm port. The device and labview program both work very well, most of the time. The program is designed for the automatic connection for the connected equipment. It works perfectly when I unplug and reconnect the USB cable.

    However, if the unit power cycled as the USB cable is connected and the program/vi is running of things go wrong. The device enters a phase of boot loader for a few seconds to the power upward, if labview tries to query the port comm during this phase the comm port is corrupted in some way and is no longer recognized by VISA / NI MAX. However, other programs, hyperterminal, etc device manager can see and communicate with the port when the boot loader is complete. For Labview / NI MAX to see the port I have to physically disconnect the USB cable. The program does not need to be restarted in order to detect the port comm again and, infact, labview is restarted or my compiled program does not solve the problem. Physically disconnect the USB port allows visa / MAX OR see the port is connected.

    It seems to me that there is a problem with VISA where somehow if a device is not correctly identified by VISA during the first attempt it just does not take into account the port until a physical intervention. Is there a way to force VISA to reassess completely all connected comm ports?

    Hello MJanus,

    As far as I know, most of the virtual com ports are not fully supported by VISA so some quirks in its operation are to be expected: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6E1922B526572CB8862571AA00544057?OpenDocument

    Officially, we do not support the use of com virtual ports, if unfortunately, the feature you have now is probably as good you'll be able to get with this configuration. I know it's not the answer you were hoping to hear and I apologize for the inconvenience, but it is not really possible visa work well with all software virtual com port due to the wide variety of products available.

    Kind regards

  • VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0011) insufficient location information or the device or resource is not present in the system.

    See the other post on this subject, but my situation appeared a bit different (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/VISA-Hex-0xBFFF0011-Insufficient-location-information-or-the/td-p/69...

    My device manager says that the device is functioning correctly, MAX also tells me that the device is working properly, but I still get this error when I try to open a panel of test VISA in MAX or log VISA in labview.  When I click on validate in MAX under port settings that she even says that he opened a successful session of VISA.  But it does not connect in the Panel test VISA or in labview.  See the screenshots below.

    No device manager said that all was well with COM1, see the pictures attached.  I was able to get this working to uninstall the device and the removal of all the drivers and reinstalling.  Don't know what the problem was, but from the entire apparatus of zero was able to fix it.

  • NI-VISA 5.3 driver Wizard does not support USB 3.0 devices

    Hi all

    It seems that NI-VISA 5.3 does not support USB 3.0 devices. When I try to use the driver Wizard to create a driver for a USB 3.0 device, I get the error "ERROR-1073807178: device descriptor error - value not valid bMaxPacketSize0 (must be set to 8, 16, 32, or 64 bytes). I noticed that the unit has been giving wMaxPacketSize0 of 512 (2 ^ 9). But the driver Wizard treats the value 9. So I think that Assistant driver does not support USB 3.0 devices. If someone could confirm this?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Jackie

    Hello Jackie,.

    Unfortunately, USB 3.0 is not officially supported in VISA 5.3 when you use VISA Driver Wizard.

    A non-official solution is to work around the "information in the descriptor' by selecting 'Other' in the list of devices. You will need to manually enter the 'USB manufacturer ID (vendor ID)' and 'type USB (Product ID) Code. You will then need to find your driver in Windows Device Manager, right click and select "update driver software". This, however, is not a workaround solution guaranteed as NI-VISA 5.3 is not officially compatible USB 3.0.

  • VISA, GPIB read all device settings values

    Hello

    Y at - it a specific order of VISA or GPIB to read the current state of a device? I don't know the status byte.

    What I'd like to see is the present value of all parameters of the device, in order to be able to reproduce the same situation, other times.

    Is this possible with a standard command? Or is it related to a specific order of devices?

    Thank you

    This is something that is totally dependent on the device.

  • LabVIEW - device COM of VISA - how to use the Hex Protocol to receive data

    Hey everybody!

    I am fairly new to LabVIEW and data collection, so maybe it's a pretty easy question.

    I want to read the data from a device Extech Instruments HD755, it is connected via USB to a COM Port.

    I can see the device at MAX and I am able to open the Panel to test VISA.

    I simply do not know what command I send now, either, I know how to do a Google search for this (I tried several commands, but they did not work).

    I have attached the Protocol of Communication of Extech and my first try of a VI.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Tobias

    Cannot open your vi, I lv2011

    Communication protocol does not say what commands to send. If no other information is either trial and error, or ask manufacturer for example in any language of the text, it's easy to order if that is the problem.

    I try something as attached as a first test, maybe you would need to send several commands (0x04 then 0x01) before it starts the transmission
