JonathanH Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I am using AutoIt to control test instruments connected via GPIB. The following scripts should work to open a GPIB session using VISA libraries installd on the computer. Somehow, the _viOpen() command does not seem to work on my Win7 system. However, the code works fine when running Windows XP Virtual Machine on a Win 7 system. Any ideas why it is not working in the Win 7 environment? (BTW, my PC is a 64-bit system, and I am running AutoIt in 32-bit mode.) #include <Visa.au3> Local $h_session = 0 ; Query the ID of the instrument in GPIB address 28 MsgBox(0, "Step 1", "Open the instrument connection with _viOpen") Local $h_instr = _viOpen("GPIB0::28::INSTR") MsgBox(0, "Instrument Handle obtained", "$h_instr = " & $h_instr) ; Show the Session Handle MsgBox(0, "Step 2", "Close the instrument connection using _viClose") _viClose($h_instr) ; Close the instrument connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
