Sbrio9636 VISA Error -1073807202

Hello
I have a sbRIO9636 and the test instruments. I just want to connect sbRIO and Test instruments(with RS232).
I am trying to connect RS232 (9 pin) via serial ports..I also have Measurement & Automation Explorer (ver 5.1) to monitor and configure Serial/parallel connections.
The problem is that when I query, it looks like my device is not properly recognized. I only get time-out errors. VISA Error -1073807202. But when I connect the Test instruments directly to PC, NI Max shows COM 1 and can get the data from the test instrumnets. That means, I can get the data from PC , but I can't do the same with sbRIO9636.
How can I ensure that my device is properly recognized? Is my COM1 port activated at all? I can't see COM Port in NI Max for sbRIO9636.
thank you!

Error 1073807202 occurred at Property Node (arg 1) in VISA Configure

I am working with the 30-day evaluation version of LabVIEW
(Version 9.0 32-bit). I am attempting to perform the serial loopback test
described in NI's Developer Zone Tutorial, executing Basic Serial Read and
Write.vi. When I click the Run arrow a dialog box appears with the
following legend:
"Error 1073807202 occurred at Property Node (arg 1) in VISA Configure
Serial Port (Instr).vi>Basic Serial Read and Write.vi. LabVIEW: VISA or
code library could not be located. ...required drive not installed..."
I can find the "smplserl.vi" driver in the /examples folder on my PC.
What's wrong?

Did you do a search for that error? Install NI-VISA.

Error 1073807202 despite installing NI VISA

Hello all,
I am getting error 1073807202, despite installing NI VISA.
I am using the linux version of labview 2011, and although NI VISA is not available for ubuntu, I found some methods online, to install VISA in LabVIEW in ubuntu. But still I am getting this error. Could there be some other drivers that need to be installed?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for your concern. I am Preeti's partner and it is me who did the installation. Actually I firstly tried to install it with the individual NI-VISA 4.5 software installation package and installed it by inputing
sudo sh ./INSTALL
since the bash shell does not work. I confirmed the installation successful message, and tried our program in LabVIEW but the error appears all the same.
Secondly I tried to reinstall the whole LabVIEW with the installation CD, which contains NI-VISA 5.1 as a component. And I confirmed that nothing error appears in installation. But the error just appears again and again.
To tell the truth I am planning to reinstall the whole Ubuntu system now, lol.
Thank you!

Error -1073807202 Property Node (arg 1) in VISA configure serial port (Instr)
I get this message only when running the Labview executable I built and only on a computer that has just the Labview runtime engine (not the development environment).
How do I fix this?

Hello,
I think this Knowledge Base article will help provide you with more information for your error. One of the ways that I find most helpful to find more information about a given error is just to take the error code without the "-" sign and paste it into the search of ni.com . I also concur that the best solution here would be to create an Installer along with your executable that has the VISA Run-time engine installed. Run your installer on your pc without labview. Then run your executable.

VISA Errorcode -1073807202

I am trying out the Evaluation of LabView 7.
I want to use the hp34970a-example. But when I am compiling I get the VISA Errorcode -1073807202.
"VI_ERROR_LIBRARY_NFOUND A code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded."
But is it because I only have the 30 days evaluation ?
How can I fix the problem and communicate with the hp34970a ?
Looking foreward hearing from you.

Make sure that NI-VISA or the NI-VISA Run-Time Engine is installed on the computer. This error suggests that NI-VISA is not installed, or there is a problem with the installation. To remedy this, uninstall any existing versions of NI-VISA on the machine. Then, either reinstall the same version of NI-VISA, or upgrade to the latest version of NI-VISA.

VISA error

Hallo NG,
I've programmed a VI that communicates via GPIB with an instrument. Works
fine on the Computer (NT 4.0 with LV 5.1.1 Full Development), where I
developed the VI.
I built an application of this VI. Works fine on the Computer, where I
developed.
When I try to portate it on another Computer (NT 4.0 with Runtime Engine LV
5.1.1) I have the following error
Error -1073807202 occurred at an unidentified location.
Possible reasons:
VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF009E) A code library required by VISA could not be located
or loaded.
Which library is missing ?
Thanks a lot

re: VISA errors.
I'm new to all of this. I needed to replicate an ATE system that was put together for us by a large US consulting company several years ago (before my time). They were pretty good with their documentation, but they neglected to mention that a VISA run time is needed to be installed before their application would work. Probably because they developed the software on the existing systems and the Labview/CVI development system automatically installed VISA. The system uses instruments from Agilent and Tek, and a Keithley KPCI-488 card as the controller. I installed everything as they described and when I ran the application (that had been developed with CVI), got the now classic error bfff009e, "A code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded".
This has got to be one of the dumbest, least clear error messages I've seen in a long time. Not knowing anything else, an educated guess would indicate that it is VISA itself that is generating this error message. It doesn't tell you what specifically is missing so it is almost usless. However, a search of the NI message boards here indicates that it is actually a total lack of VISA at all that causes this error message. Using the search string "a code library" results in 60 hits, most all for the same issue in one way or another. It would seem to me that an error message that simply states instead "VISA is not installed" or some such thing would have saved hundreds of developers countless debugging hours.
I know this is not NI's fault, I have seen the same error message within an XML file of error messages on Agilent's software as well so it must be a "standard" message.
My 2 cents...
Oh and another thing, the CEC488 driver software that comes with the Keithley KPCI-488 card seems to expect the VISA run time to be in the C:\VXIPNP directory and not the C:\Program Files\IVI Foundation\VISA directory. This means that you MUST use Version 4.1 or earlier. (Or maybe install one of these earlier ones then install the latest.) I couldn't get an install of 4.2 to work, but 4.1 does. Maybe if I now install 4.2 it will work because it defaults back to the old installation directory. See the readme for version 4.2.

When trying to test my serial port instrument I receive Visa error 1073807346, which means that they is not enough information for Visa to access or resource does not exist.

The error I am getting is on Visa open.

I found couple of knowledge base (KB) entries that talk about Visa error 1073807346. The best way to find knowledge bases (KB) is to goto ni.com >> Support >> Advanced Search (option 3) >> type in the keywords in the box "1073807346", you will get them.
Also refer, http://www.ni.com/support/labview/visa/default.htm. Hope this helps.

Visa error unless logged in as admin

I'm installing a LV program on several computers running Win7. It uses VISA to communicate with three separate instruments. If I'm logged in as admin everything runs perfectly but when anyone without admin rights logs in I keep getting VISA error "resources not found". This seems to be the two serial ports on a card, COM1 which is the on board port is working. I installed this on an identical computer yesterday and did not have this problem.

When you are logged in as the other user, what do the serial ports show up as in Device Manager? What do they look like in MAX?
I wonder if there is a setting, possibly some sort of Windows Group Policy that is locking out serial ports for non-admins.
Is this a real serial port (with DB9 connector) or is this a USB-RS-232 converter which gives a virtual com port? Perhaps if group policy is to disable USB ports for non-admins, it is blocking the converter from working. Just speculating.

TestStand 3.1 Run Selected Steps generates Visa error -1073807346?

When using Run Selected Step in TestStand 3.1 to interactively execute previous steps in a sequence a Visa error (-1073807346 The given session or object reference is invalid.) is generated even though the selected step has previously executed with no errors.
Some history:
The sequence in question was developed with TestStand 2.0 and LabView 6.1 and does not exhibit the above mentioned issue. The error began after migration to TestStand 3.1 and LabView 7.1. The sequence executes without errors in all other conditions.

Hi,
When your sequence halts, does that mean it's closed the visa sessions and if so when running the selected steps are you running the setup with the open visa sessions or are you just reusing the sessions stored in the Station Globals (I assuming when you said globals you were referring to Station Globals).

Hi, Raltieri,
I noticed from the text that you sent that your cRIO controller has LabVIEW RT 7.1. Since you upgraded your host computer to LabVIEW 7.1.1, you will also need to upgrade the LabVIEW image on your controller to the same version. Try reinstalling the LabVIEW RT component into the cRIO controller (in MAX, under Remote Systems, under your cRIO >> Software), and just make sure that you select 7.1.1 as the version to reinstall. Most likely that is the problem.
Please let me know if that doesn't help.

VISA Error -1073807194 When trying to connect to Dynamixel MX-28

VISA Error -1073807194 When trying to connect to Dynamixel MX-28
I'm trying to connect to a Dynamixel MX-28 and receive the above error when I run my VI.
The COM ports detected by the VI match the ones that I see in Windows 7 Device Manager.
Any other ideas?
I've attached the code I'm running below.

I had no idea, actually. I'm just learning Labview (and was handed this code by the previous guy). I appreciate the help.
I'm guessing I need to replace the "VISA resource name" and "VISA resource name out" blocks (that are currently in the above linked VI) with the "VISA configure serial port" block?
In a related question, what would be the best way to expand this so that a larger number of servos could be controlled at once?
Would I just make multiple copies of the current blocks (with several position knobs on the front panel)? Would that make the most sense?
LOL I was making fun of the unusual place that NI put the VISA serial config, not being sarcastic about you not finding it. Sorry about that.
The config will go right before your write. If you turn on context help (the little ? in the upper right corner) and mouse over the various things on the block diagram and front panel, you'll see how to use them.
Not really sure about a desing suggestion. An array of position knobs to be indexed accordingly?

Visa error handling in serial communication

Greetings,
I have a problem with the serial communication in my Labview program.
I have made an application that reads from serial port, searches for beggining characters, and later counts data after that beggining characters into variables in Labview program.
Everything work fine, but problem starts when I unplug the device from computer.
Program blocks and I could not do anything. Even Visa Close does not do anything.
I need to restart my computer to make my application works.
I made some indicators in subVi, and I see that when I unplug the device the error from READ VISA changes.
My question is: How to handle this event(error) to restart or unblock my serial device.
I am attaching a SubVi, that searches for starting characters " KBON,"
Best regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
From the standpoint of VISA capabilities, you should be able to programmatically handle the desconection of the serial port. I am however not certain that your specific serial port hardware is OK with that.
As to how to handle disconnection using VISA:
I recommend using the "timeout" pin of the VISA Configure Serial Port VI
when the timeout is reached and no data is transferred, you will get a timeout error on the error wire.
You can then programmatically handle this error case in your code in a very similarly to this example.
I recommend experimenting to see what error codes your application throws, or alternatively you can use the VISA error codes documentation to create the case structures needed to hande these errors.
In all cases, you should close the VISA reference. Leaving the serial port rescource "open" in your operating system may be the reason why you need to restart your computer every time (as restarting will for sure free up the serial port rescource).

VISA error: -1074003961 What does it mean?

When attempting to set parameters with Agilent's Set PWM Parameters.vi on my new 81626 power head I get this VISA error: -1074003961 What does it mean?
I try the exact same VI with my 81623 Power Head and it works fine. Anyone have any answers?
I have a 8163 Mainframe with two 81619 Interface Modules intalled. In the Modules I have a 81623 head installed in slot 1 Channel 1, and a 81626 head in each of the channels of slot 2.
The error follows the 81626 heads. The 81623 head works fine.

Drugar:
That is BFFC0007, which is not a VISA driver code but is an instrument driver error. From vpptype.h, that seems to say that parameter 7 is what is causing the error. I guess you need to look at the C function prototype to figure out what the 7th parameter value should be.

TestStand/LV VISA error

Hello Support,
I am encountering a VISA error while trying to Initialize a COM port using a LV-VI from Teststand. I have (3) GPIB devcies that Init properly, from the same VI. See attachments.
I am able to Init the COM port, after going into MAX and verifying VISA alias name, no actions made within MAX.
However, the problem comes back when I shutdown the system.

VISA Init COM Port error (VI-wiring Diagram).jpg ‏291 KB

Hello DAY-TE,
Looking at the VISA Init COM Port error wiring diagram it looks like you are initializing the port and then using VISA Open afterwards. The Initialize VI for your device should already be handling opening the resource. Check the documentation for the reset VI because resetting the device might not necessarily close the the resource so using the VISA Open would be redundant and therefore cause an error.

Intermittent VISA errors -10073807194 'connection for given session has been lost'

I am using a USB/Serial converter with FTDI chipset (VCP configured) to communicate with a serial device. There is an intermittent problem where the connection disappears, and the VISA error '10073807194' is generated. I have read carefully through the other threads related to this error, but still do not have a solution. Some background information on my set-up:
1) NI VISA 5.1.2
2) LV 2010
3) Windows 7 - 64 bit
Could windows be dropping the connection for the FTDI device when communication errors occur? Has anyone had this experience? We were previously using a prolific converter, and were encountering other communication errors where the read would timeout or only partial responses would be returned, but the VISA connection was not lost. I know the prolific converters can be problematic on 64 bit windows, so I was hoping the new converter would solve the problems.
I will post the code tomorrow, but I open the VISA session and configure the port on start up and close it when the application exits. I am using the bytes at port with the VISA read. However, the code I have has been running fine on two test machines in our office for several months. The above issues have been occuring at a customer's site overseas. We have not been able to reproduce the above problems here. There may be environmental factors at play (improper grounding, noise, etc.)
I should also mention that the original setup has this USB converter running through a hub, but the hub on their setup had to be removed due to reoccurring communication problems with this serial device, as well as other connected devices. We are going to get them to try installing a serial port on one of their PCs, and see if it eliminates the issue.
In the mean time any experience/help troubleshooting would really be appreciated. Thank you!!!
Zalusky

Well, I saw your Kudos to this post
Using "Bytes at port" on the FTDI driver can be very problematic and is the likely culprit for the behavior change. If there is any way to use a term char with the serial protocol change this.
The FTDI driver does have control of the buffer size and latency timer. Read through the documentation in this link. At the very least your polling rate for "Bytes at port" should be greater than the latency timer setting if the expected transfer is less than the buffer size. (shorten the timer )
