Over a year ago I wrote a data collection program on a Trial version of VEE (6.0 I think). The trial has since expired and we need to run the program again; therefore we purchased VEE Express 9.2. When trying to open the old data collection program, I get the following error:

I have checked for the driver and it does exist in the panel driver section of the advanced instrument properties pop up. I also know that the scope we are using is connected to ther computer as the Agilent connection expert can see it. I know only of the following problem, the driver is for an 4339A meter and we are using a 4339B meter. However this setup worked when using the older trial version of VEE.

Your thoughts/advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What happens if you press the OK button in the dialog shown in the bitmap you posted? As you have changed the programming environment i.e. installed a new product I would expect you will need to reset your I/O settings, but once you've done that the program should work.

If possible, try to use the same alias you used for your initial trial.

Thanks for the reply. After hitting OK this is the next screen:

I've input the VISA address from the connection wizard but that didn't seem to work. Your thoughts/advice is appreciated. Thanks again.

I suppose in your VEE program, there is an instrument named scope. If your VEE 9.2 Instrument Manager doesn't has configuration for scope, when you open up the program, it will prompt you to add scope. The dialog box 'Driver for scope not found. Add it now?" is common and expected. After you enter the correct VISA address, that should work.

What do you mean by "I've input the VISA address from the connection wizard but that didn't seem to work."? What is the actual error that block you from running the program?

I copy and pasted the VISA Address directly from the connection expert and got the following error:

The instrument is connected to the machine as the connection expert shows the instrument as active:

Any thoughts? Thank you again for your assistance.

Ah my bad, I've overlook your VEE version. You are using VEE Express, which supports only USB devices, use VEE Pro 9.2 and it should works
