Hello,
I installed the agilent 86100a driver through labview2015 and im running the examples but all return error1, as can be seen in the attached pics. Im specifically trying to run the "take continuous measurement" VI but all other examples have the same error. Running a different VI (Like autoscale.vi) works fine.
The hardware works fine and is apparently properly installed since it responds to *IDN? and AUToscale commands through MAX as can be seen in another attached pic.
Im running it on win xp s3 using a gpib card connected to the scope.
Please help me get this to work!
Thanks in advance,
Vitali

Thanks for your questions, I think our best option here would be to use the direct SCPI commands which you have verified work through NI Max. I typically find this to be the most efficient way to automate the 86100A/B/C/D DCA. Another benefit to using the direct SCPI commands is that your code would also work with the new 86100D mainframe using the 'Classic GUI' if you need to migrate to the current mainframe platform at some point in the future. (Although there are many benefits to using the new FlexDCA GUI on the 86100D if/when this is of interest) In the short term, here are the commands we can use with the Classic Gui which runs on the 86100A (and the 'Classic GUI' which can run on the 86100D).

I have a number of examples written for sending SCPI commands in Labview to the 86100 DCA's. Attached is an example which transfer trace and screen images from the DCA. Let me know if this helps and we can determine the next steps.
