vrf Agilent 82357A USB/GPIB Interface

<DIV>I am controlling an HP4142B through an 82357A using VEE 6.0 and Windows 2000. Everything works fine, at least as far as I've taken it. I need to also control this device with LabVIEW 7.0. I have found several fragmented pieces of information about setting up my system, but I can't seem to get it to work. LabVIEW doesn't see the USB, and when I try to "Create New" the interface, there is no option for a USB/GPIB. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I apologize for asking a LabVIEW question here, but I really haven't been able to get the answer any other way, and I know that there are people here that use both VEE and LabVIEW.</DIV><hr SIZE=1>Do you Yahoo!?

As long as all of your LabVIEW drivers use VISA (nearlyall of them), everything should work fine. <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>The short answer is that you must installthe software in the following sequence: First, install LabVIEW. This installs NI VISA as part of it. Second, install the Agilent I/OLibraries. These must be installed after LabVIEW because the NI VISAinstallation will remove Agilent VISA. The Agilent VISA is written todetect an existing NI VISA and will co-exist with it. After all thesoftware has been installed, you can then plug in the 82357A. If youconnect the interface too soon, it gets bound by the plug&play BIOS as an UnknownDevice and you need to go in and delete the device.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>This is all explained in detail in theAgilent Test Automation Kit. Agilent currently has the entire guideavailable online for the TAK.
