Hi everyone,

I'm trying to run the the sample VB program from my scope programmer manual (VISA COM) .
I changed the VISA address to the adrees in the Connection expert.
When I try to run the code I get the error massage:
VISA COM error
Path not found

Does anyone has idea why is that?

Thanks, Yanyan

Yanyan,

Scan the code for file paths. There are several instances. For example,

strPath =

Change it to something that is valid. If you are using Windows7, "C:\setup.dat" might not work due to access issue. Put your desktop path, it should work.

Bret.

Hi Yanyan,

Bret is correct in that you do need to change the file directory and his search suggestion is a good way to find the THREE locations that need to be changed. Saving to your Desktop will work but you can save the data wherever you want.

The next thing you will need to do is add "Agilent VISA COM Resource Manager 1.0" as a Reference. The Reference section is located under the Tools tab.

This should at least get your program running. I still get an error message if I run the program a second time that reads INST Error: -113,"Undefinded header" and I can't seem to find the source. The good news is that the program still returns all the desired data despite this error
