I'm trying to connect an Agilent U2701A Oscilliscope to MATLAB via UAB, I used the availible driver and example from MATLAB for an Agilent U2701A Oscilliscope. I’m still struggeling to make the connection, is there any steps that I have missed or any additional settings or configurations to be done?

Following is a discription:
1.Firstly I assumed the that the U2701A and U2702A will both work with the same program, due to the fact that they share nearly all of the availible drivers.
2.Secondly, when trying to run [U2701xSampleProgram(Auto).m] or [U2701xSampleProgram(Manual).m] (these are the two example programms),the following error message is recieved from MATLAB:

" ??? The IVI driver could not connect to the instrument using the specified resource name.
If this error is not an instrument error, use MIDEDIT to inspect the driver.

Error in ==> U2701xSampleProgram_Auto at 11
connect(deviceObj); "

Further useful information:

The following programms are installed on the computer:
1) Agilent IO Libraries Suite 15.5
2) Agilent IVI-COM Driver for U2701A
3) OS: XP Professional
4) MATLAB R2006a

As in structed, i followd the following steps:
1) placed AgilentU2701A in C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2006a\toolbox\instrument\instrument\drivers
2) changed the VISA Adress in M-File to my scope

if you can help me with anything, please let my know.
