VRF
I have a HPE 1300A Mainframe set up as in the printout from VIC below connected to an HP82340 HPIB card.
It appears to be running fine. I have also installed VXI plug n play drivers for this system.
I can run the stand alone PnP panels and control the switches correctly.
In HP VEE however, when I go to place a panel driver I get error 2000 (invalid card in Switchbox) and or 800 timeout errors.
In the 'Advanced driver configuration' dialog for each instrument I have the appropriate ID filename and sub address.
i.e. hpe1345a.cid sub addr 112
hpe1364a.cid sub addr 120
I can refresh each card and the icon changes to the 'connected to computer' icon.
I have changed the names and description for each to the appropiate SwitchBox1 or SwitchBox2.
What am I missing to get the panel drivers configured correctly?
Thanks
