Check that you have the most recent version of Test Script Builder (J05).
Also check the firmware on your 2612B (3.4.2 is most recent).

Test Script Builder is making use of NI-VISA for communication with the instrument.
From error screen, it is not clear what the issue is.

If you have NI-MAX installed, try verifying basic VISA IO from that.

If you still need help, tell us the VISA resource name that you use for the 2612B.

Hello,
Connect the instrument to the pc using USB. Then I would recommend downloading and installing NI-VISA, then try with NI-VISA Interactive and see if your instrument is discoverable and allows communication between unit and PC.
Open NI-VISA Interactive and see if the instrument appears.

If this is successful, open Test Script Builder and press Open Instrument button.
Click the Select or Enter New Instrument button.
Look in the list of resources for anything that looks like this USB0::0x05E6::0x2614::nnnnnnn::INSTR (where nnnnnnn is the serial number of the unit). This would be your unit. Select it and send *IDN? to see if unit is able to communicate.
