No instrument found in test and measurement tool despite successful query between tekVISA and tool.

5 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to communicate with a tektronix waveform generator (AWG) using matlab2015a, 32 bit. Have installed tekVISA version 4.1.1, and have connected via VXI-11 LAN using the IP address of the AWG which was put in server mode. Open Choice Talker Listener shows successful communication between this laptop and the AWG.
When I open the test and measurement tool in matlab, and scan for a TCPIP (VXI-11) device there is none found.
instrhwinfo visa gives:
ans =
HardwareInfo with properties:
InstalledAdaptors: {'ni'}
JarFileVersion: 'Version 3.7'
Can anyone tell my why matlab can't detect the AWG despite successful connection with the VISA software?

Hello Kaitlyn,
Try connecting it instead using the VISA-TCPIP Object.

I suffered from the same problem, and the fix is: 1. make sure TEKVISA interface is the selected preferred VISA interface (run VISA64 Conflict Manager) 2. restart Matlab Hope it helps.
