Looking for Keyence Instrument driver for LV.

Looking for instrument driver for LV developed for the Keyence LS-7500 series micrometer. Has anything seen any or done this already? Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW I have already checked NI's listing of instrument drivers to no success.

Hello-
There are no drivers listed for this instrument at http://ni.com/idnet. You may want to contact Programmed Test Sources to see if they have a LabVIEW driver for their instrument. If they don't, you can easily create a low-level driver by configuring an I/O assistant VI for each function in the manual. Once you have this low level driver you can just combine functions to make higher level VIs. Alternatively, you can hire an Alliance Member to write an driver for you.

I am looking for an instrument driver for a Barnant Model 689-0015 Temperature controller with an RS232 port.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have done an extensive search of my resources and was unable to find any. At this point I doubt if there is one out there. Have you contacted Barnant to see if they have a driver in house that they might give to you?

Looking for instrument driver for HP3561A (Using LabView6.1)

Hello,
Is there anyone out there has the instrument driver for HP3561A. I know there is one available in the ni.com/idnet however, that one runs only on a higher version. Can someone tell me is there any other options?
Regards,
Daniel

Look again. There are 6.0 and 7.0 versions available for download.

HP 54501A - Instrument Driver for LabView v.7 or v.8

Hi all,
I'm looking for HP 54501A - Instrument Driver for LabView v.7 or v.8. I have NI gpib/usb controller installed, but cannot control the scope via Labveiw.
The link I found at NI web site within drivers section seems to be broken so I couldn't download it!
Please, anyone, suggest/help!

The link you were given works for me. You can try it again. The given link brings you to a page where the CVI and LabVIEW drivers are listed. the direct link to the LabVIW driver is http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9455659CE034080020E748... .

SCPI Instrument driver for LabWindows/CVI ?

Is there somthing like a plain SCPI instrument driver for LabWindows/CVI
that works with all SCPI-DMMs ?
Thanks,

Manfred,
You could look for a driver for another Keithly model or try one for a
different brand. They may be similar enough to modify easily. I realize this
goes against the idea of SCPI and standards but it is the best we have now.
Good Luck

Instrument driver for Agilent E5061A network analyzer

Is there a instrument driver for the Agilent E5061A network analyzer ? I couldn't find one neither on NIs Instrument Driver Network nor on Agilents site.
We are using Labwindows/CVI as development system.

Yes we are talking about the same driver, but i dont know why hp871x.c file was removed. However, hp871x.h and hp871x.fp are included.
Anyhow, look this comment into hp871x.cpp file:
In addition, if WIN32 is defined, _CVI_ may also be defined to indicate that the program is being compiled under LabWindows CVI.....
I guess it is not so hard to modify this source code (from hp871x.cpp to hp871x.c). Sorry for disturb you!!!

looking for instrument driver for PTS 160 Frequency Synthesizer

"Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument at http://ni.com/idnet. This leaves you with one of a couple options. It may be possible to modify an existing driver to work with this instrument. Otherwise, http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/other. htm states a few options to obtaining a driver. NI only writes drivers for standalone instruments in the eight IVI classes(DMMs, Scopes, Function Generators, Switches, Power Supplies, Power Meters, RF Signal Generators, and Spectral analyzers) that communicate via GPIB, Serial, or TCP/IP, so a driver cannot be written for your instrument. It would also be beneficial to notify the instrument manufacturer, they often have drivers for multiple programming languages. If they do not, you may want to hire an
Alliance Member to write an driver for you.

Need an Instrument Drive for Elmo motion control products.

Hello,
I am going to use a Bassoon servo drive from Elmo Motion Control to control a voice coil. I haven't found an Instrument Driver for Elmo through my LavVIEW program or on their website. Does an Instrument Drive for Elmo products exist?
Thank You!

Hello JMJ,
Here are my answers to your questions:
1. Is it possible for me to communicate with the Basic Serial Read
and Write example and not develop an Instrument Drive? I see that the
write VISA VI takes a string and converts it and sends it to the
control card and the read VI receives a signal and converts it. Is the
conversion converting from the Elmo language to the ASCII code? If I
don't write an Instrument Drive will I have limited capabilities?You could use the serial example to write your entire program. If you only need a handfull of commands, then this is probably the most straighforward for you to get going. Everytime you use the VISA Write, the ascii values are written on the serial lines and transmitted to your device. Your device reads and interprets these commands and acts depending on what the command is. Some command may change a setting in the instrument. Some other command may actually ask for the instrument to write back some data. In this case, you need to have a VISA Read after the write to be able to read the data into your computer.
2.  I was informed that there is an Instrument I/O Wizard that would
potentially be easier to use and program than an Instrument
Drive.  What is your opinion on such matter? Could I use either or
neither?You can definitely use the Instrument I/O Wizard to help you . This wizard really helps in parsing the data received from your instrument. You can look this tutorial if you want to learn more about it.   You could use either one. I suggest you try both these methods and see which one seems more obvious to you.
3. If I develope an Instrument Drive are all the seperate commands seperate subVIs?
A LabVIEW instrument driver usually has a set of VIs with specific functionality. For example, you will have one subVI that will initializes the instrument. This subVI may send 1 to 5 (or more) commands, depending on what you need to initialize your instrument. You can then have one VI that set's an attritube. This one would only require sending one command.   You can look at this tutorial for developping a complete instrument driver. However, keep in mind that this may not me necessary for your application.
I suggest you first look at what functionality you need. Then take a look at what commands this will require. You will then be able to plan out your program a little better. I also suggest you post all this information on the forum, so that we may be able to help you with more specific details.
Have a great day.

Instrument Driver for Advantest R6243/6244

Has anyone developed the instrument driver for Advantest R6243/6244 and willing to share the driver? Thanks!

Hi Rebecca,
There are several drivers for other Advantest products in NI's Instrument Driver Network, however I didn't find any driver that specifically matched the R6243/6244 voltage/current generator, and I didn't find anything on Advantest's site that could point me to a quick solution for you. Unless another user has developed a driver that they could give you the code for, it looks like your best bet from this point is going to be to request a driver, if you haven't already. You can do this by going to the Instrument Driver Network, and following the link to "Request Drivers". Hopefully this helps you on your way. Good luck!

Trouble using the instrument driver for the "hp8753b"

I am using the instrument driver for the "hp8753b", specifically the "collect and display data" driver. I manually set my settings to the analyzer and run the VI (i.e. set start frequency to 500 kHZ and stop frequency to 1 GHz), when the VI runs with the "collect and display data" it defaults to start frequency 1 GHz and stop frequency to 3 GHz. I have tried to modify the driver to only collect data and not to modify any settings on the analyzer but I run into errors. Any help on this is appreciated.

Hello,
I have installed the instrument driver you mention in your post. I am looking at the Collect and Display Data.vi, however I need more information from you to determine why your sweep is defaulting back to 1GHz-3GHz.
When you say "I manually set my settings to the analyzer" are you making these settings directly on the analyzer? The Collect and Display Data.vi seems to read all of the settings from the hardware, I did not see any configuration in the VI. What modifications were you making to the VI and what errors were you getting?
Can you see the range on the instrument? If so , can you determine at which point the range defaults back to the higher range? Running in highlight-execution mode in the VI and running NI-Spy (Start->All Programs->National Instruments->NI-Spy) to perform a capture of the GPIB commands can help to determine at what point the errors are occurring. It will also let you see if there are any commands being sent which cause the instrument to be reset.

Looking for HP 5371A driver for Labview 6.1?

want to communicate with HP5371A by PC over GPIB port

I think that device is too old for finding a driver for labview. If you have all the GPIB command, it's easy to program. I made it for another type of instrument.

Need an instrument driver for Stahl product

Hi guys!
I need an instrument driver for the coil temperature measurement device ER-230.01B (company Stahl)!
Does anybody of you have this driver?
I have already searched in the NI Driver list and couldn't find it.
Thx,
Nobby

Hi Nobby_83,
Unfortunately we don’t have the driver for your Stahl device. You have to contact Stahl to know if they have the driver.

Looking for a serial driver for an agilent 4395A to work with labview

Can only find one for gpib I have no interface for gpib on my PC but i do have a rs232/gpib converter and was wondering if I could get a serial driver for the agilent 4395A for this.
Thanks

I've only used the RS232/GPIB converter to go from a GPIB bus to a serial instrument so I can't speak for going the other direction but I would give it a try. However, you have big problems with the driver if its the same one I just downloaded from NI. It's not really what I would call a driver at all but an application program meant to be used stand alone. There is no breakout of instrument functions into subVIs and none of the controls or indicators are on the connector so you can't even use the high level app as a subVI without a lot of work. It is a contributed driver but I'm surprised NI accepted it because it doesn't follow any of the published rules for an instrument driver. It's not even a good example of program design, imho. There is a VISA dr
iver available from Agilent here and I would try that instead. To use a VISA driver with a serial port, you just specify the VISA resource name for that port instead of the GPIB resource name. For example, a GPIB resource name of an instrument with an address of 5 would be "GPIB::5::INSTR". To communicate to your instrument over com port 1, the VISA resource name is "ASRL1::INSTR". If the instrument has a serial port in addition to the GPIB, you could also try skipping the converter. Some VISA drivers work fine either way.
