EDVR (0)EDVR is returned when the interface or device name passed to ibfind,
or the interface index passed to ibdev, cannot be accessed. The global
variable ibcntl contains an error code. This error occurs when you try
to access an interface or device that is not installed or configured properly.
EDVR is also returned if there is an internal driver error.
Solutions
Possible solutions for this error are as follows:
•Use
ibdev to open a device without specifying its symbolic name.
• Use only device or interface names that are configured in the GPIB
Configuration utility as parameters to the ibfind function.
• Use the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Utility to ensure that each interface
you want to access is working properly, as follows:
