Hello everybody!
if this question has allready been answered; forgive me, but I wasn't able to find it (and I really tried).
I'm using a NI USB-GPIB-HS cable to communicate with a Keithley 2000 multimeter (with a SCAN multichannel card), and Labview 8.0. The program I wrote read resistance on different channels. As I was testing it, at a certain point I ran the program with Keitley turned OFF. A lot of erros prompted the screen and I aborted the program. Then I turned Keithley on again and ran the program, but whatever I do, I keep getting a NI 488.2 error: 'No board present' on the screen.
I've restarted the computer, and Keithley -> didn't work.
Reinstalled the drivers -> didn't work
Changed the GPIB adresses (both Keith and program) -> didn't work
Tried to see if the USB-GPIB-HS card has been damaged by running the Mesurement and control; Ni 488.2 analyzer , but it failed to detect it. However, this test isn't conclusive because I also ran it on the other computer where I have a GPIB-PCI card and it also didn't detect it.
Both LEDs ('ready' and 'active') od the USB-GPIB-HS cable are blinking (not at the same time..) during the test.
Also I've installed the 8.0 ->8.0.1 ->8.2.1. update, though my Labview says it's a 8.0.1 version. Is it possible that there is some kind of a bug with the update? (Though I don't believe that, cos the program ran smoothley with the updates before the program was ran with Keithley turned OFF..).
If somebody had a similar problem and solved it -> please let me know.
Thanks.
Mihael
