python call agilent com_PyVISA mac OS X (Mountain Lion) Agilent 33250a

I am having trouble connecting to an Agilent 33250a instrument using a GPIB-USB controller. Does anybody have any ideas how I can get PyVISA to recognise the Agilent?

In order to run PyVISA in terminal, I use the following:

export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes

python-magic.sh

python

import visa

Test: (Agilent 33250a not connected)

>>>visa.get_instruments_list()

['ASRL1', 'ASRL2']

Have now tried connecting the Agilent using the GPIB-USB controller.

Installed http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm (62 bit).

Another test in terminal:

input: sudo system_profiler SPUSBDataType

output:

H82357 ():

Product ID: 0x0718

Vendor ID: 0x0957 (Agilent Technologies, Inc.)

Version: 0.00

Serial Number: 8235730073

Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec

Manufacturer: AGILENT Technologies, Inc.

Location ID: 0x1d110000 / 7

Current Available (mA): 500

Current Required (mA): 500

However, when I connect the Agilent 33250a visa.get_instruments_list() does not detect it.

AKA I still get:

>>>visa.get_instruments_list()

['ASRL1', 'ASRL2']

Is this because I cannot install the IOSuite for Agilent on a mac? Agilent IO Suite only exists as a .exe file. Any ideas?

>>> agilent = visa.instrument("GPIB::1")
