AGENA E5071B VIs for LabView 7.0 (Evaluation Disk)
Hi there,
I had just installed a driver for a Network Analyzer (Model #: E5071B) from Agilent Technologies. The stated requirement on the download page was for LabView 6.0 and LabView 7.0 along with NI Visa 3.2.
I am currently running an evaluation edition of LabView 7.0 with NI Visa 3.3, and is facing some problems in using the VIs provided with the driver.
The error message observed is as follows:
"An error occured loading VI 'agena Interactive Application Example.vi'.
LabView load error code 9: VI version (7.1) is newer than LabView Version (7.0)"
Is there any chance that I can obtain those VIs that can be tested on my evaluation version.
Cheers.
Yariv,
Let me try to answer your question on whether does LabView takes over VB-written codes or vice versa. Now, from my experience with this E5071B Network Analyzer using LabView, Visual Basic and VBA macros, I believe any of these program can still take over the function on the ENA at any period of time (even if you have several of these running at the same instance). Actually, when I have a program controlling a ENA, I can still override the original program's setting with another program and provide a new set of commands and/or settings (but I am sure no one in the right mind would attempt to do this as it will affect the test results.)
My first concern is whether "other" programs can immediately detect the change or command that was directed to the ENA. Earlier on, I had several bad experience where the communication channel between my tester and ENA is dropped unexpectedly, resulting in a loss of control of the ENA. I am still unable to detect and resolve the cause of concern.
Continuing further, I don't think I am in position to help you with your second question, as my search around NI's website on this ENA seems rather limited. If I have any leads, I will post it here then.
On the sideline, if you are interested in running VBA macros directly on the ENAs, do check out Agilent's website as there are a list of Agilent-written codes for some of the general functions. On top of that, you may be interested in evaluating Agilent's IntuiLink. I doesn't personally use it in my line of work, but it seems to provide most of ENA's functionality through Microsoft Word and Excel.
Have you tried to direct your questions to Agilent Japan? That's where the support and development team are. If not, you can compile a list of questions, and I can assist you to contact Agilent Japan, as I am currently attached with Agilent Malaysia. It shouldn't be much of a hassle.
Cheers,
JL Chew

Where to download the exercise VIs from "LabView Basics II"?
Hello everybody,
Where can I download the files with sample Vis for "LabVIEW Basics II" course?
In the company I currently work, they couldn't find these files. I have got only books.
TIA,
Yazilim.I think you have to purchase it. Contact NI for more information.

Omega has a protocol manual to facilitate this on their web site
Jay,
Most folks use an OPC Server, such as Lookout Protocol Drivers (sold under package "IA OPC Servers") to communicate with devices using the Modbus protocol from LabVIEW. The KnowledgeBase below describes this method in detail.
Drivers for Communicating to PLCs, RTUs, and Other Industrial Hardware"
As for direct Modbus protocol VIs for LabVIEW - I have never personally used them, but I have seen many Developer Exchange posts in the past where folks have used and recommended them. Simply search this developer exchange for "modbus AND labview" and numberous discussion threads on this topic will be returned.

The link to the labview VIs for the HP 35670A is no longer valid and the search for the same returns nothing. Does anyone have the Labview VIs for that instrument?
The last post was back in 2004(see below)
The instrument driver for the HP 35670A is only
supported under LabVIEW 6 and 7. You should upgrade to the latest
version of LabVIEW in order to use the HP 35670A driver or any of the
newer drivers that we release in the future.
The instrument
driver for the HP 35670A can be found on our web site at
http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/61f1c707c2f10906862568ab005fb9ff?Ope...
Solved!
Go to Solution.Why don't you go to the Instrument Driver Network? I don't know what kind of search you did but the driver is certainly still available and can be found by using the search option there.

Example VIs for winsock with LabVIEW 7.0
Are there any example VIs for TCP communications with winsock using LabVIEW 7.0?
I would like to join the request - I would like to know how to use WinSock from within LabVIEW to use a modem to dial a number and connect to another PC with a modem. An extra complicaiton is the fact that I need to be able to vary the number (to access numerous data acquisition stations).

LabVIEW Interface VIs for SolidWorks/COSMOSMotion
Dear Sir/Madam
I am using softwares Labview 7.1, SolidWorks 2005, Cosmos Motion 2005 and LabVIEW Interface VIs for SolidWorks/COSMOSMotion. I try to solving my project entitled “Tracking of a Two Link Robot”. We give a point which includes X and Y as its coordinate system. To do so, robot will move to this point. However I have a problem to solve my project. Considering to Example(PID Example.vi from http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3402). that including one degree of freedom. I wish to solve a project with two degrees of freedom. I attached an image of my project in JPG formatting. Could you please let me have a solved problem in same case or helping me in this way?
Thank you so much for your attention.

Vernier labpro VIs designed for labview 6.1/7.0 using them in labview 8.5
Hi
I have downloaded the labpro toolkit and mass compiled them in labview 8.5.I wanted to store the vernier sensor data using labview, however the analog data collection VIs are for Labview 6.1/7.0.
The computer restarted and labview stuck when I tried to use the VIs.
How can I read data and save/store it for further analyses?
What should I do?
Is there any compatible VIs that will run without any problem , should I download patches or any labview version?Does vernier have a solution?
I am looking forward to hearing from U.
ThanksI looked at the drivers from their web site and the code structure (as you would expect) pretty much sucks and the serial io routines need to be updated to get
rid of all the compatability VIs, but right off hand I don't see
anything too dire. The one exception is that if you are using the USB
interface access is through a DLL that they wrote - that could be a big
problem. A lot has changed since 2003.
How are you interfaced to the device? USB or Serial? What OS are you running? Did I understand you to say that the computer crashed? What do you mean by LV "stuck"?

hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA
Marco,
Here are some suggestions:
1) Check the manual the Keithley manual to see how to configure the RS-232.
On some models you need set Factory defaults to USER and turn on the RS-232.
Also there may be a setting for SCPI which you want on (probably on by default).
2) On your PC - open Device Manager. See if a COM port exists and is functional.
You must get this working before continuing.
You can set the COM port parameters by right clicking and selecting Properties.
(On some PCs the onboard ports can be disabled in the BIOS)
3) If step two was OK, open MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer).
On the left side, click on Devices and Hardware.
Click on Serial and Parallel.
Go to the COM port you found in Device Manager.
Open a VISA Test Panel.
Now I don't have one I can look at right now, so this is general idea:
Configure the COM port to match the Keithley settings (should be OK if step 2 worked)
Go to the (I think) Input Output tab (you want to send a command)
The command string input should already have a *IDN? entered, if not, type it in.
Click on the Query button to send the command and check the response.
If you get an ID string back (Company name, Model, FW Version ...) then it works.
(Disregard an error saying it did not get enough charcters back.)
I hope this helps,
steve

Where can I find example LabVIEW VIs for the NI-USRP?
There are several sources of example LabVIEW VIs for the NI USRP:
We have established a NI Community "NI USRP Example LabVIEW VIs" where you can find example VIs from us (NI) and the community.
The NI-USRP driver installs a variety of example VIs to the to the following folder on your PC:
<LabVIEW Installation path>\examples\instr\niUSRP
where you should replace <LabVIEW Installation path> with the root folder of your local LabVIEW installation. For instance, my Windows 7 32-bit PC here has LabVIEW 2011 installed and the examples can be found here: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\instr\niUSRP
I've installed the NI-USRP driver, but I can't seem to find the new examples in the LabVIEW Example Finder. Where are the example LabVIEW VIs installed by the NI-USRP driver?
Although the NI-USRP driver does indeed install examples, the current NI-USRP 1.1 release does not update the LabVIEW Example Finder with entries for these examples. To find the examples, you can navigate the Windows Start Menu to the following location:
Start Menu\Programs\National Instruments\NI-USRP\Examples
This Start Menu entry includes several Shortcuts that point to folders that are the home to example VIs.
Sam ShearmanHello,
It looks like Agilent/HP makes the 8990A, but I was not able to find a driver for it that we or Agilent has written for this device.
Since I am not familiar with the 8990A, I cannot recommend which drivers might be similar, but you are pointed in the right direction. Agilent themselves might know more about which models use similar command sets so that you can modify a driver easily.
Hope this helps.

Examples for labview having sub vis
I am making some examples for labview adding to labview example directory (..\LabVIEW xxxx\examples\my own examples).
My examples contains some sub vis. As i copy example files and sub vis to (..\LabVIEW xxxx\examples\my own examples) then i see all files in example finder example files and sub vis. Is there any method that doesnot show sub vis in wxample finder. I will be very thank full to you NI. Sorry if i am duplicating post.
regardsI have a couple of thoughts about your questions:
1) When browsing by Directory, yes you will see subVIs. A common practice is to put all your subVIs in a separate folder labeled 'subVIs'. That way they don't look mixed among your examples.
2) Darren is correct that the bin3 file format is the same for all versions of LabVIEW, and that the bin3 file you created for LV 2010 will work in 2011. Notice he mentioned to put your bin3 file in [LabVIEW 20xx]\examples\exbins. This is important for LabVIEW 2011 and beyond. In LabVIEW 2010 and prior we would look anywhere in the examples folder for bin3 files. To speed up the launch time of the NI Example Finder, starting in LabVIEW 2011, you must put your bin3 file in the \examples\exbins, instr.lib, or user.lib folder. You can find this information if you click the Help button from within the Prepare Example VIs for NI Example Finder. -

Can a "object reference" type from TestStand be used for Labview VIs
I am creating a test sequence in Test Stand and I am looking to use a "object referrence" type stored in the globals of TestStand as an input to VIs that I will use later in TestStand. The object can be from .NET or ActiveX. I need to know if I can use a input that will support either type.
Hi Mcfrenzy36,
Object references can be used for LabVIEW. I have found an article that teaches how TestStand handles Activex object references. Here is the linkt o it:

Report generation VIs in Labview 6.1
Hello,
I am havinf problems with using Labview 6.1 VIs for report generations. The VIs provided by Labview are not executable! It seems as if they had internal errors, non fixed errors. Moreover, I am not able to open the diagram because it is password protected. Does someone know if there is any patch to fix this or the reason why these VIs don't work?
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
MaríaHello Maria,
are you using the report Generation Toolkit for MS Office or the standard vis that LabVIEW provides for report generation?
If you use the Office toolkit, this may help:

In any case, WHAT I WOULD TRY FIRST is to do a Mass Compile of the folder where the report vis are located.
