Keithley 2410 - communication problem

[mythravarun01]

Hello:

              I use labview on a Windows computer to communicate with a Keithley 2410 scourcemeter through GPIB. I had installed the driver (Keithley24xx) and was using it without any problem. I recently replaced the old device with a different Keithley 2400 and now I have trouble communicating with this. The error message I see pertains to VISA clear.

Here is a screenshot -

Error 1073807304 occurred at VISA clear in Keithley 24xx.lvlib:Initialize.vi->Keithley 24xx Read Single.vi

VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0038) Bus error occured during transfer.

I checked the connection and tried reinstalling the driver but nothing worked.

Has anyone had a similar problem? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi,

     I have faced similar problem. The reason could also be a bug in the VI LabVIEW or VISA or GPIB communication port.

The above mentioned issue could be temporarily solved by either restarting LabVIEW or removing the GPIB port and reinserting back or by restarting the system. I am not very sure about the reason for the error. Let the developers of LabVIEW take a solution to this.

Is this a very old machine, check the revision number of the internal software of the Keithley and see at the keitley site if it is not very old?

This particular community is for communicating with an Arduino using the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino.  To get the best help, you should post in an appropriate forum in the NI Forums.

Thank you for your suggestions! I am afraid I tried them but it didn't work.

Like Nathan mentioned, I will go ahead and post it on the NI forums.
