Python,Ctypes - WindowsError: access violation

I'm developing instrument drivers for testing at work. It's first developed in C using the IVI/Visa standard. I am then using a python wrapper for a dll of the C to use the functions in the python environment. However with the current one I am getting an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:/CAS/Development/LvDrivers/Python/Python_wrapper/ADIag81110a.py", line 1362, in <module>
      PGEN.ConfigureTransitionCoupling(1, "1")
  File "D:/CAS/Development/LvDrivers/Python/Python_wrapper/ADIag81110a.py", line 1305, in ConfigureTransitionCoupling
      ADIag81110aLib().ADIag81110a_ConfigureTransitionCoupling(  self.vi,  transitionEnabling ,  channelName    )
WindowsError: exception: access violation reading 0x00000031

It happens with any function I use from the C. All of the functions work correctly when they are ran directly in C. He is is the C definition of that function:

ViStatus _VI_FUNC ADIag81110a_ConfigureTransitionCoupling (ViSession vi,
                                              ViInt32 transitionEnabling,   ViChar channelName[])
{
   ViStatus error = VI_SUCCESS;
   checkErr( Ivi_LockSession (vi, VI_NULL));

   viCheckParm(Ivi_SetAttributeViInt32 (vi, channelName, ADIAG81110A_ATTR_TRANSITION_COUPLING, 
                                     0, transitionEnabling), 2, "Transition Coupling");  

Error:
   Ivi_UnlockSession (vi, VI_NULL);
   return error;
}

The python might seem a little complicated but i'll only be posting the code that I feel is relevant to declaration of the ConfigureTransitionCoupling function that I'm using as an example and the ctypes declarations:

   #This initilises the communication with the instrument
   PGEN = ADIag81110a("GPIB0::10::INSTR")

   test = PGEN.ReadOutputImpedance("1")

   print test

I have looked at other people posting about their error and I feel they are using C-types in a different way to me so I am unable to apply their solutions.

Any help is appreciated. This is also my first post on stack overflow so feel free to point out any issues with my post :)
