How do I control the TEK TDS3052 by LABVIEW installed in a PC?

I used the "crossover" cable directly connect the PC and the TEK TDS3052(with a ethernet port).What I have done is that I configured the ethernet parameters( the IP adress, the net mask etc.). And when I apply the "Ping" command in the "run" window of the windows 98, there is a correct return.So the ethernet network is well done.Now I want to use the LABVIEW to control the oscilloscope. But I don't know then.Who can tell me the detail steps which I can take next, thanks a lot.

Kevin,
Which version of LabVIEW do you have?
There are two ways of controlling your oscilloscope from LabVIEW, one is using the VISA functions (instrument i/o palette in LabVIEW)and another one is using an already built instrument driver, which you can download by going to zone.ni.com, and then click on "resource library" at your left... then click in "instrument drivers", and then in "downloads" and then type in the "additional keywords" box type "tds 3052" and click SEEK... you will find a link for your instrument there... you can download that instrument driver and it fully functional with LabVIEW, now... the truth is that I have always used this drivers with a GPIB interface in the computer, in this case is only going to be by TCP/IP... so you can try to adapt the addresses instead of using an instrument type address, use the TCP/IP instrument type address and give it a try to see if it works. The address type for TCP/IP is stated below.
First you need to have the latest version of NI-VISA installed, 2.5.2, which is shipped with LabVIEW 6i (version 2.5.0 and then download a patch for 2.5.2).
Our solution for controlling instruments with Ethernet ports is NI-VISA.There are two possible situations:
1) Instrument supports the VXI-11 protocol.
The VXI-11 protocol was created to control instruments over Ethernet using the GPIB style. It has nothing to do with VXI, but it was there were it got approved.
NI-VISA supports VXI-11 instruments, to the point that the only change in the instrument driver written with VISA is the identification string. Instead of using GPIB::1::INSTR, you can use TCPIP::ip address::instrument name::INSTR. (For example, with the Tek TDS 3054, the string would be: TCPIP::130.130.130.1::gpib0,1::INSTR). (Note that 'gpib0,1' has nothing to do GPIB..its just a name given to the instrument..it could have been just 'tds3054' also if the instrument vendor chose to do so).
2) Instrument DOES NOT support the VXI-11 protocol.
In this case, you can still use NI-VISA to talk to the instrument using the NI-VISA Ethernet Sockets functions. However, you would have to take care of the specifics of the protocol used for the instrument. The instrument manufacturer should provide you with the details on how to control the instrument (commands, parsing, etc.).
*** Tek's Scopes ***
Tek introduced an ethernet interface for some of their scopes. We have a TDS3054 scope from Tek that is VXI-11 compliant. Since the TDS3054 is VXI-11 compliant, we used it at NIWeek to show how you could control it using the same code written for the instrument with the GPIB interface, by just changing the identification string.
NI-VISA 2.5.2
NI-VISA 2.5.0 introduced the support for instruments with Ethernet ports. Notice that LabVIEW 6i ships with the older 2.5.0 version. The patch to upgrade it to 2.5.2 is called NiViEnet.dll and is located in the ftp site at:
ftp://ftp.natinst.com/support/visa/drivers/win32/2.5/patch/
So you can try this Kevin and see if it works for you, contact us back (www.ni.com/ask) if you need further assistance.
Good luck!...

How can i control the I2C bus with Labview

Hi
How can i control the k8000 from http://www.velleman.be ( I2C bus) with
Labview.
all info is welcome.
[email protected]

if you are using Linux (and the Linux version of LabVIE W) it should be
fairly easy to use the lm_sensors ( http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/ )
libraries and source code to control a device connected to a PC's I2C bus.
Go here http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/hardhack.html to see how to tap into
the I2C bus of your PC. You may be able to apply info here to roll-your-own
on a MS Windows 98 / 2000 OS.

How can i control the Tektronix AFG3022 with LabView 7.0

I am trying to control the Tektronix AFG3022 Function Generator with LabView 7.0. Is there a premade program I can download and use?

If it is not in 7.0 make new thread and ask nice if someone can convert to labview 7.0.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

How can I control the zoom on my mac mouse?

How can I control the zoom function on my mouse? In the middle of working on things my hand will rub the mouse by accident and all of a sudden the context within the screen is large. I have no idea of how to work this feature on my mouse and most times to get it to return to normal, I have to escape out of the work I am performing.

If you are pressing the "Control" button on the Mac keyboard, scrolling up will zoom in and scrolling down will zoom out. You can disable this if it annoys you through System Preferences > Universal Access. If you are using Mountain Lion, it would be System Preferences > Accessibility.
Uncheck the in the "Seeing" or "Zoom" section that says "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom". It may be slightly different if you have an older OS X version. I have Mountain Lion and am going off of memory on the older versions.

How can I control the window size of my output?

Hi,
I'm drawing a blank... How do I control the size of the window that my project is viewed in? Right now, it's the entire browser window.
Thanks,

Hi,
From your post, I assume you are creating WebHelp output.
You need to create a window for the help in the Project Set-up pod. Then, you need to make sure you call the output so that the window is used. See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm. This article on Peter's site give you an overview over the possibilities of calling context sensitivive webhelp and also tells you how to specify the needed window. Also, the installation directory of RoboHelp 8 contains a directory called CSH API. In there are example API's your developer can use to call the help.

How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?

How do I control the order of all day events in iCal? Even if I painstakingly try to
re-order the events the way I want them, when they print, they are in a different order.
I have searched other forums and no one seems to have an answer to this. Has
anyone found the solution? Thanks!

I also have this issue, where the events in iCal change when viewing in print preview or printing. I even notice they will switch if I try to print again??!!! I am using different calendars to show different colours. and they are setup on iCloud not on my mac.
it is becomign frustrating when I print 2 months worth and ssome events are correct in order and alas some will change when I print again!
Can anyone help please?
thanks

There is not now, nor has there ever been a version of flash for any iOS device.
Adobe has abandoned mobile flash, so there never will be.

Check app store for an app of whatever game you want.

How can I control the order of playback on MuVu Mix (USB 2.

What determines the order of playback of music files stored on the MuVu Mix (USB 2.0)? How can I control the order?
Apparently it is not name order. The music titles are prefixed by sequential numbers. But that is not the order that the files play back.
I tried erasing all contents, then copying the files one by one to the MuVo Mix in the order that I want them to play back (name order). But that is not the order that the files play back.
By the way, in both case, I removed the ".dat" file first. (I also tried keeping the ".dat" file, to no avail.)

I did, and they confirmed (very quickly; kudos!) what you and I both expect: the play order is determined by the alphabetical order of the file names. The mistake was mine. I ass-u-me-d that the MSWin folder "Name ^" order was correct. I did not realize that it is not exactly alphabetical when the file name begins with a number (e.g, the track number). I had renumbered songs from a second CD by simply adding 00 to the track number. Thus, songs and 2 of the first CD are played after songs 08 and 09 of the second CD, as they should alphabetically, even though they appear in the order , 2, 08, 09 in the "Name ^" list. Klunk! Mea cupla!

Here's my take on the same thing:
Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

It is inside a 'af:PanelBox'. So, the parent container also determines the size of the child? Here I need a create a 'pidgin chat window' kind of an interface with a fixed size top-level container, inside which I willl put all my components. The code looks something like this:
