Ok, I have the correct version. I can run "from visa import *" and get no error. How ever when I run this command I get and error: My_Instrument = instrument("GPIB::5") Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/Rivetmr/MyPythonScripts/My_GPIB.py", line 2, in <module> my_instrument = instrument("GPIB::5") File "C:\Python27_32bit\lib\site-packages\pyvisa\visa.py", line 288, in instrument vpp43.parse_resource(resource_manager.session, resource_name) File "C:\Python27_32bit\lib\site-packages\pyvisa\vpp43.py", line 777, in parse_resource byref(interface_board_number)) File "C:\Python27_32bit\lib\site-packages\pyvisa\vpp43.py", line 398, in check_status raise visa_exceptions.VisaIOError, status VisaIOError: VI_ERROR_INTF_NUM_NCONFIG: The interface type is valid but the specified interface number is not configured. My instrument is on GPIB 5 and I can do a *IDN? with another program and get a response. So I must still have something not configured correct.
