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.

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!

Why do I get VISA code error -1073807202 when trying to connect PXI-2565?

I got error code -1703807202 (a code library required by VISA could not be found) every time when I first started up the computer and used "Initialize with topology" to connect my channels. This error would go away if I start MAX and open up devices and interfaces, then re-run the same task. How do I get rid of the error? Thanks.

Hey Pal,
You are correct about NI-VISA having requirements for LabVIEW. The latest version of NI-VISA won't work properly with LabVIEW 7.0. You can see the supported versions in the readme of the driver. For example, NI-VISA 4.4.1 is compatible with the following versions of LabVIEW: 8.6/8.5/8.2/7.1.1.
What error are you running into?

NI VISA and Signal Express - Error -1073807202

So I did a search on this very common error that I'm also having, see error1.jpg. So one of the responses was to try and make an installer which I'm trying to do, see error2.jpg. I hope that is the right thing to check to fix the error (nobody said in the previous posts that I read). Then it asks me to find Signal Express. So I get out my DVD of Labview 8.5.0 and point it to the location (J: drive), see error3.jpg. But then Labview tells me that it is an invalid location. I mean WTF? I'm getting really annoyed by now and do another search of the forums. I find a post that says to look in MAX to see where Signal Express is located. So I do that and then put that location into the installer builder dialog box. Guess what it tells me, see error 4.jpg. So now what do I do????

Are you getting error 1 when running an application on a deployment computer?
Yes, the error happens when I install the application (using the installer I built) on both the inhouse deployment computer and the computer of a customer I sent the application to.
I checked the deployment computer and the RunTime Engine is installed, but I see no referance to VISA. Surely you're not suggesting that I ask my customer (and any other customer who requires the application) to go to ni.com/support to download the 28.5 MB file (if my memory is correct) for the VISA drivers just to talk to a com port. So I need to fix my installer.
So I have a couple of questions.
Has this distribution problem been fixed in LabView 8.6.1? I have a copy just never installed it as I saw no real need to upgrade since my system so far has been working.
Did I check the right box, NI-VISA Runtime, (for Signal Express) to get the installer to include the VISA drivers?
I would like to get the next version right as I'm sure my customer has a reduced opinion of me for sending him a program that doesn't work.

Problems with viQueryf in VISA 2.6

We've recently installed VISA 2.6 on our systems and have found that our routines making use of viQueryf are no longer working. We've narrowed it down to two main problems:
1. When using "%#t", the size of the array is returned instead of the number of characters read, unless the size of the array is less than the number of characters read.
For example:
ViInt32 strSize = 256;
ViChar stringResult[256] = "\0";
stringResult[0] = 0;
ErrStatus = viQueryf(SessionID, "%s\n", "%#t",
"SYST:ERR?", &strSize,
stringResult);
This returns 256 as the strSize, even through only 14 characters are returned in the string. If I change strSize to 0, then after r
unning the function, it returns 14.
2. The function is not writing a null-terminating character to the return string. For example:
ViInt32 errorCode = 0;
ViChar errorMessage[256] = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0124556789";
ErrStatus = viQueryf(SessionID, "SYST:ERR?\n", "%ld,%t", &errorCode, errorMessage);
After executing this, errorMessage contains "No error"\nlmnopqrstuvwxyz0124556789.
Flushing the buffer does not change the results, nor does setting the first character to null or calling sprintf(errorMessage, "\0"). The only way we've been able to work around this is to zero-fill the string previous to calling the function.
Are there any workarounds or fixes for these problems?

1073807202 error in Keithley 2401 SMU

Every one.
I am using Labview 2012. I am trying to interface Keithley 2401 SMU with laptop via Keithley-GPIB KUSB 488B. When I am trying to run the program, it is indicating error 1073807202. I have reinstalled all the labview software, NI-VISA (latest), drivers and 2401 library files, but the problem remain as the same.
Can any one hepl me. I need to fix this problem as soon as possible as I need this for my research purpose.
Also can u suggest me the SOP (Standard operating procedure) sequence for installing labview, NI-VISA and instrument driver.
Thanking you
Avishek Das

The error is probably due to your use of a Keithley controller instead of one from NI. Have you checked with them about using their hardware? How does the controller show up in MAX?

Errorcode ffa-8-000d (80040154) Please help

Good morning all,
Can anyone PLEASE help me with this.
I purchased Premiere Elements 7.0 last night at best buy and installed it. When I try to just play a clip, this is the error msg. I get.
Device: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Errorcode: FFA-8-000d (80040154)
It also says: playback failed the audio system does not seem to respond. Maybe card does not support full duplex mode.
Now I went and did the latest update for the raw camera 5.5 per a past post.
OS system Windows Visat 32 bit. Can anyone PLEASE Help!!! I am so frustrated and out of answers.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP!

Great news and thanks for reporting your success.
I plan on linking to Neale's post for other Dell-users in the future.
Now I just have to figure out how to film and edit....lol!!!!
I cannot recommend Steve Grisetti's PrE book too highly. He'll take you through everthing in PrE, plus give you useful tips on recording video. I also recommend Muvipix. That is a site with a series of fora, like Adobe, and they also have a lot of tutorials and articles on all aspects of video production, and not just around Adobe programs. There are tips on shooting, lighting and recording audio. Well worth a visit. With just a sign-up much more becomes available, and for a subscription, ALL of it becomes available, including original music, stock video, Menus and much more.
Good luck,

ERROR CODE -1073807202

Hi,
I'm trying to use a usb-serial adapter with labview 7.0(student edition), but it seems that labview doesn't see the serial port; using VISA blockset to communicate with an instrument I receive the error code -1073807202. I've tried to make a loopback of the serial port, sending a general string, but nothing on the outputstring of the VISAread, and only the error code mentioned before.
Please, someone help me!
Tommy

LabVIEW uses a driver called VISA for serial communication. This is a hardware driver that needs to be installed. You can get the latest version here.

-1073807202 error

Hello there, we have a labview 7 program controlling 2400 Keithley source meter. It was working perfeclty okay until yesterday. Now the write visa is not doing its job and showing error -1073807202
please help.

LabVIEW gives the following error description for that code:
VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF009E) A code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded.
Note that you can find this yourself by either right clicking on the error code in the error cluster and selecting Explain Warning or by selecting Help»Explain Error... from the help menu and pasting in the error code. As aestet said, this is probably due to something being installed or uninstalled and your VISA library getting removed.

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.

A code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded.

Hello,
I am trying to communicate with an Agilent HP 6613C Power Supply via GPIB and LabVIEW 7.0 on a machine with OS Win2000Pro. When I try to run any of the VIs (which contain a "call library function node) pertaining to the instrument , I receive the following error:
"Error -1073807202 occurred at hp661x Initialize.vi
Possible reason(s):
Driver Status: (Hex 0xBFFF009E) instrumentHandle was zero. Was the hp661x_init() successful?"
In the LavVIEW help, I found that this error translates into the Subject of this message. Can anyone tell me what can I do about this?
Thanks a million if you can,
Jason

Hello Dennis,
I have been using LabVIEW for about a year but this is my first time setting up a GPIB interface.
Max says that VISA may not be installed properly. Under my "Devices and Interfaces" it says "VISA Error". I have reinstalled the LV 7.0 Device drivers and reinstalled the NI-488.2 software but it still has the same problem.
What would be the easiest way to determine what the problem with my VISA is, and correct it?
Thank you,
Jason Stairs

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.
