Configuring LeCroy Digital Storage Oscilloscopes with NI-VISAPrimary Software: Driver Software>>NI-VISAPrimary Software Version: 4.2 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A Hardware: Instrument Connectivity Other
Problem: I have a LeCroy Waverunner 6100 Oscilloscope and I'm trying to configure it to be used with NI-VISA through TCP/IP. I have already set the IP address and subnet settings for both my host PC and the oscilloscope. However, when I try to create a new VISA TCP/IP resource in MAX I am unable to detect my instrument through Auto-detect or Manual Entry. Am I missing any steps in my configuration? Solution: Apart from the usual procedure followed to connect to an instrument through TCP/IP (such as making sure the instrument is in the same subnet, and being able to ping the instrument), for LeCroy oscilloscopes you need to install the VICP Passport for NI-VISA. This passport provided by LeCroy intends to give more reliable communications with their scopes when using the LAN interface. The VICP passport can be downloaded from their website through the link below. Please read the documentation file located at the same webpage containing the FAQ. To connect to your instrument, open the connection using the VISA Open function using an address string in the form Related Links: External Site: Instrument Drivers for LeCroy Digital Oscilloscopes External Site: Lecroy Digital Oscilloscopes and Protocol Analyzers KnowledgeBase 44DAQAHG: Using LeCroy Waveseries Oscilloscopes Over the Ethernet Using VISA Attachments:
