Keithley 2400 driver for Labview 8 not working

I searched the boards and found this driver for a Keithley 2400 that should run with Labview 8.  I have Labview 8.6.
http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=25B255F3AA83660EE0440003BA7CCD...
I put the driver folder in the proper location and the vi's are appearing in the selection menu as expected.  I have my Keithley 2400 connected to a serial port on COM1.  When I simply try to run the initialization VI it doesn't work.  I know it's communicating in some form, because my Keithley goes into remote mode and the initialization driver is able to properly read what the model of the Keithley is.  When it gets to the VISA read vi it is timing out, but still outputs the correct model identification.  I don't understand why it's timing out and not working.  
Is there something else I should've installed?  The driver readme says the only additional software required is NI-VISA 3.2, however I have version 4.4, so I should be fine.  I just don't understand why it's "sort of" working.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It doesn't sound like it. You are using serial and that requires nothing beyond VISA - plus simple commands are working. The fact that the drivers can send and receive the SCPI identification command tells me that you are communicating with the instrument. (That is what causes the instrument to tell you what kind of device it is.) The thing to remember about drivers you get from vendors is that they can be very buggy. Often times they were written by someone who doesn't know LV very well, or were perhaps donated to them by one of their customers. I always view vendor-supplied drivers as simply a starting place for creating really usable ones.

  • Convert Keithley 2400 Driver for Labview 8

    Hello. I need someone to convert the Keithley Driver (labview 5.1) for me to use in labview 8.6. I can only use the earlier version of the driver since my program was written based on this driver.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Ethernet driver for WXP is not working on Satellite A100

    Satellite A100-784 PSAANE-02L011G3 ethernet driver for wxp is not working. Can not properly install driver, downloaded all possible drivers and still not working.
    In device manager yellow sign. I have bought my laptop with Vista BASIC and I put XP-SP2. Country is Croatia! Help me please!

    Hi
    I cannot believe that you are not able to install the LAN driver on this A100 Satellite!
    However, the Sat A100-784 supports an Intel 82562GZ 10/100 Mbit (Ekron) Lan chip.
    If you want you can download and install the Lan driver from the Intel page:

  • Driver for OfficeJet J4580 Not Working with Windows 7 Profession​al

    I am trying to install the driver on a new Toshiba laptop but the driver keeps failing.  I have tried the Basic and Comprehensive drivers.  After downloading, I get a prompt to extract the driver, then I get an error message that says the file is corrupt, cannot extract. I get the same error message with both drivers.   I am downloading the drivers from the HP website. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.  I do not have the printer plugged in (it's plugged into my very old Windows XP laptop and works fine there).   I have left e-mail messages to Support through the HP site and have not gotten an answer.  Is this printer just too old for my new computer?  Do many of the HP printers have problems with Windows 7?  Any assistance is appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hi @OrdinaryHPUser,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you cannot install the driver for your HP Officejet J4580 on Windows 7. I am happy to help!
    Full feature software and drivers, are available for this printer on Windows 7. So the printer is compatible. I would recommend to try the following steps:
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software. (Only if the software is partially installed, otherwise you can skip this step.)
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any Antivirus programs. Disable Antivirus software.
    Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Create a new user account. Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 7).
    Reinstall using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Hope this will solve the issue, and have a good day!

  • Latest I-tunes download AMD USB Driver for xp will not work therefore cannot sinc ipad

    I have downloaded latest I-tunes version 10 and am experiencing problem with the Apple mobile device USB driver not working correctly.
    I have tried deleting all apple software and re-installing again - without success!
    I am trying to Sync primarily an I-pad2  but also an older Ipod classic
    I am operating on XP Pro with SP3.
    Can anyone help please?

    Welcome, and thank you for a thorough input! Hope I don't miss something you already said!
    Quick version: Try setting processor voltage to 1,5 volt.
    Long version:
    Posting at wrong FSB can be put down to two things:
    1 The processor isn't what you thought it is, but I think you eliminated that.
    2 The system cannot run the processor at the correct speed. Mainly this has to with overheating, and/or that memory and processor cannot cooperate. This must be it, as you noticed the processor is correctly recognised.
    You have little connected right? Then the best thing would be to pull power cable out. Take the motherboard and redo the seating of the processor, this is much better done with motherboard taken out.
    At the same time, I suggest you clear CMOS. Should always be done when changing processor, and I've noticed on the Internet there are a few 1,5V XP2800 around.

    The optical drive is supported natively in Windows XP.
    Double-click it in Device Manager and tell us what Device status has. It's on the General tab of the Properties box.

    The T3 requires Lightroom 3.4.1 or later. You can either upgrade to a more current version of Lightroom (version 5.6 is the most recent) or you can use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RAWs to DNG, which should import into Lightroom properly.

  • Aeroflex 2975 driver for LabVIEW 8.0

    Is there a way to convert the Aeroflex IFR 2975 driver for LabVIEW CVI for use in LabVIEW 8.0?  OR, is there a driver already developed for this? 

    Frank,
     I am using the LV 7.1.1 version of this CVI driver in an application I wrote. We should be able to recompile this for 8.0. Basically as I explained with no handshaking the instrument falls out of sync with the controlling computer. Basically the only GPIB command that is supported in that driver is *IDN?. So what I have done is after other  calls I use this command and compare the return string to see if it is what I expected. If not I use a popup telling the operator that a GPIB error occurred and to reboot the IFR to clear the bus. I also have instructed the operator to run NI Spy in the background...this seems to cut down the occurance of these errors. Another way to clear the bus that is faster and usually works is to stop the application, and read the bus using MAX until you see a timeout when there is no more data available( usually twice). Then rerun the application. Depending on the application this might be a work around though not an elegant one.
     Since the driver was converted from a CVI driver it uses the call library function node. This does not allow us to control the timing between the Write functions and Read functions. If you are doing something that is relatively simple you could use the TCL command set and VISA to write a driver. Just put a wait function between the Write and Read function and experiment with the timing until it looks like it won't fail. I've considered doing this myself but have been hoping that they will actually make the instrument 488.2 compliant. I am assuming that the actual error is that the data buffer is being read by the controller before the instrument is finished writing to it. The other scenario is that the data buffer might not actually be getting flushed every time it is read. I'm hoping my first assumption is correct or they have even more problems with the instrument.
     In January of '05' they actually enabled the following commands *SRE xx, *SRE? and *STB?. I recently wrote a simple vi to see what happens to the Status Byte after using IDN? command and reading the data buffer. The MAV bit begins logic low, then goes hi when the data is available. After reading the data (i.e. "IFR Systems, 2975.....) I again query the Status Byte. The MAV bit is still in a logic hi state. I sent screenshots of the front panel and block diagram as well as the .spy files to them. All was heavily notated and they said they were going to look at it. If anyone is interested in this I can post this code as well.

Just curious how LabView works, so I try to follow the "Introduction to Taking an NI-DAQmx measurement in LabView" and configure my USB-6215 in LabView. However, when I try to gererate codes for the DAQmx task name control, an error message pop up as "Error:NI-DAQmx support for labview could not be found. Please reinstall NI-DAQmx".  I did reinstall NI-DAQmx, but it doesn't help. This error occurs anyway. Any idea how it happens and the solution is highly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Integrated WebCam for Thinkpad X1 not working.

    Hi guys, I have a new X1 thinkpad... initially the webcam was working but now I could not seems to get it work. I also could not see this in the device list. Tried re-installing the driver but it does not work. Anyone knows how to fix this issue?

    Hey there jerry_bp,
    I have to agree, it sounds like you are having a hardware issue. In this instance it is most likely the connection for the camera is loose and you will need to contact service to have the issue resolved. The number for the US Service Center is 1-800-426-7378, before calling make sure you have your Machine Type, Model Number, and Serial Number.(Found On the Lenovo Sticker on the underside of machine) Good Luck, and keep us posted of your progress.
