8753xx series read and graph proper calibration

Greetings for Greece,
I have a Hp 8753D network analyzer I would like to control via GPIB using labview. Actually I want to build an interface where the instrument data are displayed on my laptop and export them after. "8753xx series read and graph" example, does exactly what I want but requires a state file name along with a calibration file name. The calibration I am used to doing so far is only manually, therefore I cannot figure out what sort of file to insert in the specific field. in addition, I have nothing else but the analyzer, not even the calibration kit. Is there a way to create a path where the labview code will automatically extract the saved state and calibration saved in the RAM of the analyzer?
Thank you in advance,

Hello,
The Save/recall State functions either writes to a State file (save) or read from a state file (recall).
There are example files included in the instrument driver:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\instr.lib\Agilent 87XX Series\Examples\Agilent 87XX Series.STA
Samething for a Calibration data&colon;
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\instr.lib\Agilent 87XX Series\Examples\Agilent 87XX Series.CAL
Save-Recall State VI and Save-Recall Calibration VI.
Both of these functions has Save and recall functionality. Does it work to configure the instrument manualy and then call the functions with save.
Regards,
Klas

Do I combine them and then copy to JPEG 2000 or do I have to save each page separately which is very time consuming Please advise me how to reduce the size and send 10 pages plus quickly by Adobe without the huge hassles I am enduring

What kind of software do you use for the conversion to pdf? Adobe Reader can't create pdf files.

I have a neslab chiller and want to read the temperature by sending ASCII characters and graph the results, any advice?

I am having difficulty having the chiller recognize (RT[CR]) which is the signal recognized by the chiller to read the temperature. The signal that is returned is (xxx.xx[CR]) which is the temperature. I am attempting to be able to read the temperature and graph this vs time and possibly be able to change the setpoint as well from the UIR.

I agree with Randy that Hyperterminal is a good starting point to test cabling and communication.
In your program, be careful to serial port initialization (how to set baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bits depends on the language used) and to termination character ([CR] means Carriage return: if you are usng CVI it DOESN'T add CR to the message unless you esplicitly put it in).
Another interesting point is the time the instrument takes to respond to the message: it can vary from message to message and is usually described in the instrument's documentation. If you test for a shorter time, you catch a false 'no response'. You could make a while loop and test in it the number of bytes received, then decide whether to end the loop for timeout or answer recei

To continue help you, we need some details of your developing environment (CVI or LabVIEW?) and of problems you are having at present.
Hope to hear you soon

When I try to use 'Stacked Column Bar'. with data assigned in the graphs, and want to see it in the 'Preview' mode in Xeclsius, I unable to see the graphs apart from the Axes ans Series Value, the graphs becomes totaly invisible why So ?

Hi Ranendra,
For basic understanding of Dashboards and Models you can use standard Templates or samples which ll come along with dashboard designer(Formly Xcelsius) installation.
For path File-->Templates(or Samples).
Under Templates you ll have different categories and for each you ll find the dashboard Templates.

Graph Types getting shuffled when use Series for both graph types

Hi,
I have a requirement to use two Graph types in a single Business graphics UI element.
First Graph type is of STACKED COLUMN, and the second one is of LINE. When i use Series for both graph types; they are getting shuffled and not readable.
Same is happening on use of Simple series for STACKED COLUMN Graph type and Series for LINE graph type..
How can i solve this problem?
vinod.

> unfortunately when i run this i am getting the following error for all my types:
ORA-00904: "INHERITED": invalid identifier
Yep, quite rightly "unfortunate". One of my pet peeves about Oracle's o-o implementation. You cannot call inherited methods using the inherited command - it is not supported.
Which explains the Oracle error message - it is telling you it has no idea what the command (identifier) called "INHERITED" means.
There are ugly workarounds (one which I have posted in the PL/SQL forum I think in the distant past - 8i?)... but it is pretty much a hack and not something I would like to consider for production.
Not sure if recent Oracle versions step up to the mark in this case - I have not seen anything that supports calling the inherited class methods from within an override for example.
Perhaps if you show us a basic example of what you are trying achieve we can suggest alternatives?

Convert a scatter graph with multiple data series into individual graphs

I am trying to convert a scatter graph with multiple data series into individual graphs, with the series having the same formatting as in the graph when all series are together.
Normally, if I delete any series, the color scheme for all the other series vanishes. I can then waste more time in having to re-adjust the color and shape of the series, but this is tedious. This, I do not want. Is there an automated way to do this?
Ideally, of course, all series would appear in little subsections in the space of the former one graph, all with individual axes, but I can't have all, so I'll settle with having several individual new graphs, each with just one series, and with the original
formatting.
Thx.

How about creating a copy of the chart, and then setting all series except one to be transparent (no line, no marker)? Repeat for each series.

Personalized Views - Charts and Graphs?

Hi All,
Can PerformancePoint web parts and graphs be combined with SharePoint's "personalized views" in order to create personalized dashboards for each user?
Any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated,
Regards,
CP

Depends on what level you want this to be achieved. The requirements for a normal user might will be different from Power Users or BI professionals. This'll be the difference between chart parts and allowing people to use Dashboard Designer.
What level of user are you needing to cater for?

MSI B75MA-P45 "Reboot and Select proper Boot device"

Hey guys, I just had this PC delivered to me yesterday, pre-built after my specs. Been using their company for a decade and never had an issue (that said, they might very well have screwed up this time, but I would love some feedback).
So, when I plug in the PC and boot it it get stuck at "Reboot and Select proper Boot device" (and in the bottom right it blink between A2/B4 before it gets to the reboot prompt).
What I have done to try to fix this:
1) Go into BIOS and swap around the boot order. No luck with that, and I cannot find the SSD HD on the list either.
2) Confirmed it was set on AHCI mode.
3) Booted with the MSI Motherboard CD to get to Winki. In the Winki file manager I do see the SSD HD with Windows installed! But the BIOS cannot find it.
The specs:
Board: MSI B75MA-P45
Bios: E7798IMS V1.5
VGA: ASUS Geforce GTX660Ti
PSU: Corsair CX 500
Intel Core i7-3770
Corsair Cooling Hydro H55
RAM: Corsair XMS3 Vengeance CL9
Samsung SSD 840 Series 120 GB
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Win 8
So I'm left a bit dumbstruck here. It seems quite clear the BIOS cannot find the SSD for some reason, but I'm not sure how to sort this?
I mean: I do see Windows in the Winki file manager, so the HD is clearly there and readable. But on the other hand it cannot find it in the BIOS so I can't choose it as a boot drive.
Any suggestions on what might cause this and how I could solve it?
Thank you.

Wow, that was easier than I thought.. after hours of browsing internet, trying all kinds of BIOS settings, eventually I just opened the case and plugged out the SATA cables and plugged them back in. Boom, it works. Didn't expect it to be that easy since the Winki still could see the HD.
Seems BIOS is more sensitive than the Winki. But there you go, problem solved.

Reboot and select proper boot device on satellite c50-b

So i have had this satellite c50 - b series for over month and it now says reboot and select proper boot device. My laptop does not have a disk drive, an it still says the hard disk drive is available, but when i go to the boot menu it does not give me the hdd recovery option. Please help me out fixing this problem. I have even tried f2 and stilll nothing. Please reply back with some answers

f12 to reach the recovery.
No boot device can mean a bad hard drive or did something get changed in the bios? f2 to reach bios and set to the defaults.
Some laptops have a reset in the bottom of the laptop, see picture:

I've try another MB from the same series - the same result

I own 2 ipods an ipod nano series 4 and ipod series 6 I want to store different tunmes on each ipod, but when I try to sync the series 4 with I tunes I get a message that says there is not enough space on my device. How do I achieve what I want?

O wn 2 iPod nanos series 4 and series 6 I want to sync different music on each iPod but I get the message when trying to sync the series 4 that there is too much data for the sync to take place. It seems both iPods have the same name, so I guess I have to rename one, how do I do this?
Or is there another solution
Any help appreiated

It would be useful to you if they had a different name, but the computer knows they are different. Create separate sync playlists for each device and go to the Music tab when it is connected and specify which playlist should be used for the sync.

Modbus Ethernet read and write to a Eurotherm 6180XIO Modbus server using LV8.2 shared variables

I am having EXTREME difficulty trying to establish communications with a Modbus device using LV8.2 shared variables. The device is a Eurotherm 6180XIO Datalogger configured as a Modbus master. The PC and a cFP-1804 are slaves. All IP addresses are set correctly. This approach using shared variables would seem simple, but I can't find any examples or proper guidance on how to get it working. I am trying to avoid having to mess around with TCP/IP, OPC, or any other old-fashioned method.
I have read many threads on related topics but none directly apply to this situation. I have created a library containing a Modbus I/O server and shared variables bound to read and write holding registers. I have followed all recommended tips for creating such variables but I can neither read or write data. All data types are U16 due to Modbus protocol limitations. I have also applied the LV x10 factor in the most significant digit in the register offset (6 digits instead of 5).
I have a cFP-1804 on the same network which reads into the datalogger OK. The registers I use are 31000 (for CH0 on module 0, 31002 for CH1, etc) and the data can be read as FLOAT32. I have updated the firmwate on the 1804 to the latest level. I cannot even get shared variables to read SGL values. Using registers 301001 for CH0 and 301002 for CH1 I can only read U16 values, and not a 2-word SGL.
Third party Modbus simulation software is able to write to and read from registers very easily, but not LabVIEW.
Some questions are:
- do I use a Modbus master or slave as an I/O server in the library as a target for binding the shared variables?
- is there some other wierd translation in register offsets between LabVIEW and traditional Modbus?
- is this actually possible using shared variables or am I wasting my time?

Sending the whole 60-character string using a string or array would be the most efficient. I have tried both methods, and these only cause the datalogger to flag a message log but no text is displayed.
For a string variable, I have used the following binding "My Computer\Modbus Test.lvlib\ModbusServer6180\442305", where ModbusServer6180 is a Modbus I/O server configured with the logger IP address, and 42304 is the register offset at the start of the text block in the logger. I need to write to 30 consecutive registers starting with this one. I am not using buffering and have not enabled single writer.
Can anyone confirm whether this method should work in 8.2?
Does the string need a special termination character?

First attempt at Producer Consumer Architecture: continuous read and dynamically update parameters.

Hello,
I am currently working with two instruments; an Agilent E3646A and an NI 6212 BNC. My objective is to have the 6212 to be continuously taking measurements according to predefined parameters while the E3646A's parameters can be continuously updated. This simple instrument combination is intended to help me learn the necessarry achitecture; continuous measurement, dynamic output control, and more instruments will be added in the future.
I've previously posted on a similar, but more complicated, setup (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Instrument-Control-GPIB-Serial/Split-second-lag-when-controlling-two-instrum... and was advised to try the Producer Consumer Architecture. I've found relevant literature on the site (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3023/en/, https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2431), searched the forums and constructed my own VI. While my first attempt at a Producer Consumer Architecture has resolved some of the issues I was having when I first posted on the subject, however, new issues have arisen with regard to reading and stopping the VI.
I am currently able to run the VI and update the device parameters. Previously, I would get a freeze while the instrument was being updated and could not toggle parameters until it was done. This has been resolved although the read only updates when a parameter has been updated although it is outside of the event structure. Furthermore the Stop button does not work in any context. I've also gotten occasional errors regarding the Deqeue Element but the bulk of the trouble is Error -200279 "Attempted to read samples that are no longer available" at DAQmx Read. I realize that there is a problem in my Producer Loop but haven't been able to figure out how to resolve it.
This is my first attempt at a Producer Consumer Architecture and already I can see that it is a powerful tool. I read as much as I could and looked at the relevant examples but expected to have some issues in the beginning. Would really appreciate any advice so I can take full advantage of the architecture.
Hope to hear from you,

Jon,
Thank you for the response and the suggestions.
I created the Local Variable for the Stop Button and moved the original into its own Event Case. It is now able to stop VI execution although I get Warning -1073676294 which I understand to be the buffer issue. The warning says that this was incurred on VISA Open for the E3646A's Initialize VI which is outside both loops, however, which I don't understand.
I tried increasing buffer size by decreasing the Number of Samples as per suggestions I found on NI forum threads. I've brought it down as low as 1 but the graph still only updates when an Event occurs and I keep getting the same buffer error. You suggested that the problem could be that they are in the same loop; does this mean that the DAQmx read should be outside both Producer and Consumer Loops or moved into the Consumer Loop? I found a couple of links ( http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Producer-Consumer-Design-Pattern-DAQmx-Event-Structure/td-p/2744450 , http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Producer-Consumer-Architecture/td-p/494883 -first response) on dealing with an Event Structure that my own VI is based. Alternatively, I found another link ( http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Producer-Consumer-Design-Pattern-DAQmx-Event-Structure/td-p/2744450 - first response) on a DAQmx Read with an Event Structure that places the graph in the Consumer Loop.
The core of my purpose in setting up this Producer Consumer Architecture is so that I could read continuously while the instrument parameters are updated dynamically so it's very important that I understand how this works. I am particularly struggling with how the Event Structure is controlling the While Loop's Execution.
Hope to hear form you,
Yusif Nurizade

Please Help

Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub. The file will not load. Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?

You can't fix it. iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices. i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content. Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here. If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.
