how to use labview with gpib to connect with Agilent PNA E8362B ?i am newbie ..just started to work on labview about a fortnite bck and +i am a novice in interfacing(networking... jst know tidbits) skill ..so plzzzzz explain me in a litle detail

The first thing to do is to download the driver for the instrument here. You should also check out What is an Instrument Driver. Chapter 16 of the LabVIEW Measurement Manual (Help>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf) has some useful information as well. Before you attempt to use the instrument, you need to install the GPIB board and drivers (NI-488 and VISA).

    Sir
    We were able to solve that problem...but now could you advice as to which DC power supply we should use (preferably avalable in India) so that it can be controlled by Labview (through a gpib/rs232/any other port) to give a square wave of desired frequency/other parameters.

  • Communication problem with agilent 34401a

    Hi all,
    I' m using Labview 8.2 and visa 4.2.
    I 've connected my agilent 34401a and it is recognized, I see it in agilent connection expert and manage to communicate with it. (query *IDN?)
    But I get a problem when I want to use the control_mode vi. (remote or local).
    the error is displayed just after the Visa Read function (Vi below)
    I don't understand why. I use the RS 232 connection and it is correctly configured in the devices manager.
    Anyone can help me ?
    Thanks,
    Romain

    Sorry,
    I've forgotten the Vi.
    Now it's OK

  • Rack mount kits doesn't fit the depth of Agilent rack

    I have a PXI 1085 Chassis which I want to mount in an Agilent rack.  I purchased the front and rear rack mount kits, the height and width are great, but the depth of my rack doesn’t allow me to use both the front and rear rack mount kits.  Is there some kind of adapter I can buy which will extend the rear rack mount so that it can reach the back?

    Hi Chall,
    Unfortuantely we only offer the kits for a certain size range. If this does not fit your rack then you will have to create a custom rack mount.

  • When trying to work with Agilent 34401A multimeter (serial RS-232 connection), HP34401A Getting Started.vi gives always the message: "Error 1073807369 occurred at Old VISA Open ".

    Baud rate and parity are set correctly, RS-232 cable is also connected correctly. My QuickBasic program has no problems to read and write to the Multimeter. It is obviously a software problem: the same error is persistent if I disconnect RS-232 cable.
    I downloaded NI-VISA 2.6 for Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP frorm digital.ni.com and installed it. But it did not help.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi.
    I'm experiencing the same problem when connecting a laser controller (New Focus Vortex TLB-6000) via the Agilent E5810A to a PC.  
    There are no problems when connected through a regular serial port, but timeouts arise every few seconds through the E5810A.  I have another controller (SRS LDC501) which works very well with a second Agilent console.
    Have you managed to find a solution to this problem?
    Thanks,
    Orel.

Every time that I tried to open it, in diagnostic and use create some files, in special one named LatestCrash-WifiSurvey.plist, this one generate an incident identifier E73B0164-CDFA-4E9E-839E-A0C021BD17A2, but this incident identifier change every time that I tried to open, the last incident identifier is: DE600EB3-AB57-4C33-8DE8-71F6788A7441.
    After of it, I checked that the app had a new version available for downloading, I took a backup of my ipad and then upgrade this app, but is the same problem, all I want is to save the projects I had in this app, I´m afraid that if I delete this app and re-install it, probably I loss my projects.
    Thanks for your help indicating how I can save my projects and see them for example in an iphone for assurance that data is not lost.

  • How do I use LabVIEW to control and vary the voltage on my Agilent Power Supply and simultaneously record temp from 1 DMM and voltage from another DMM?

    I am using an Agilent Power Supply  to apply a voltage to a
    thermistor to heat an Al chassis.  I want to use LabVIEW to tell
    the power supply to apply 5V for 10 minutes, then step to 7V for 10
    minutes, etc.  I am completely new to LabVIEW, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
    In addition to that, I want to place a type J thermocouple onto the Al
    surface and use a Keithley 2000 DMM to monitor the temperature (it has
    a built in conversion from V to Temp for type J).  I will also be
    using another Kelthley 2000 DMM to record the output voltage of a new
    uncalibrated thermocouple.  I would like to collect the output
    voltage for this uncalibrated thermocouple and the temperature reading
    from the type J simultaneously.  How should I go about doing this
    in LabVIEW?  I will be using version 6.1.  The power supply
    and DMMs will be connected to a PC using GPIB.
    Again any suggestions would be greatly appreciated- I have no idea
    where to begin on such a project.  I have taught myself how to
    make a basic VI- converting temp in oC to oF, but  that is as far
    as my knowledge goes.

    What you want to do should be fairly straightward and a good way to learn labview. 
    First off, if you haven't already, I would download the drivers for the Keithley and Agilent instruments.  I found the keithley drivers at the link below.  You will need to find the labview drivers for the Agilent PS at their website.  Drivers are the VI's you will use in your program to control the insturments.
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E90B0659CE034080020E74861
    If you open Labview and go to the help menu and click on Labview bookshelf there is alot of information on getting you started coding labview.   This should get you started, if you have anymore questions just ask in this same thread and I am sure you will get all the help you need.

  • Connecting hp 8508a vector voltmeter with agilent 82357a usb/gpib converter

    Hello
    For my experiment, I need to connect to a HP 8508A vector voltmeter by using an agilent 82357A usb/gpib converter. I have a serious problem about communicating with my device using NI-VISA. I tried to do the steps indicated at following links which were indicated at the forum posts by people using 82357A:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F7C187DBF09EBE1186256F550065BD32?OpenDocument,
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/3B3626D9C1F999218625694200791AD7?OpenDocument,
    http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5990-3731EN.pdf?cmpid=1273CN.
    The version of MAX is 4.3.0f0 and i am using labview 8.5 with NI-VISA 8.2. I am trying to configure my 82357A using agilent io libraries suite 14.1. 
    First, I tried to configure my usb/gpib controller using  agilent connection expert and set the visa interface id to GPIB6 and connect to the 82357A without any problems. Then I connect this gpib converter to my vector voltmeter. The gpib adress of the voltmeter was 6(gpib address of the interface converter was 10) so visa address GPIB6::6::INSTR was assigned to voltmeter by connection expert. I tried to connect to the voltmeter from the connection expert by using the agilent interactive IO. Send *IDN? command and took the proper response from the voltmeter. The voltmeter went into remote mode and I tried to read the voltage values by using the FETCH? command of the device and got the voltage properly which means I successfully connected to the device.Then I went to MAX and enabled the NIVISATulip.dll and restarted the MAX. Then I went back to agilent connection expert and checked the box: "use agilent 488 library where possible" for side-by-side communication between the NI and agilent visa. By the way agilent visa was installed as the secondary library.  Then when I went back to MAX, I start to see the voltmeter under miscellaneous VISA resources with the address  GPIB6::6::INSTR. But the problem started here. When I tried to send commands from MAX to voltmeter with the "open visa test panel" I encountered an error which exactly says:"unable to open session to GPIB6::6::INSTR, return status code:0xBFFF009E, status name:VI_ERROR_LIBRARY_NFOUND, a code library required by VISA couldn't be located or loaded." As I said before i enabled the libraries of agilent 488 from the options of the agilent connection expert. When I went back to connection expert and unchecked the box for using agilent 488 libraries nothing changed. Also when I went to NI-VISA interactive control I couldn't see my device under the tab of VISA I/O. 
    I tried to read some posts from this forum. People are using this usb/gpib converter successfully without any problems by performing the steps I have done. I have some questions about possible subtle points specific to my application.
    First question is according to the manual of the voltmeter(this is an old device by the way from 1988):"vector voltmeter is capable of remote operation via the HP-IB which is HP's implementation of IEEE standard 488.1  "So, what I understand from this sentence is my device is communicating remotely with IEEE standard 488.1 and not 488.2 Does it make any problem? What kind of modifications should I do to my setup for overcoming this if it creates any problems? As I said before I was communicating with device very properly from the agilent connection expert. In manual there is also a sentence like "HP-IB commands used in the vector voltmeter conform to the standards set by document IEEE 488.2 1987." 
    Second question is should I install newer versions of agilent io libraries suite or MAX or NI-VISA. I wrote the versions I am using before are they compatible? Where can I install newer versions? As I know the newest version of the agilent io libraries suite is 15.1 or 2. Is is compatible with 82357a?(maybe I should ask this question to agilent people)
    Third question I don't remember how I did it but agilent visa is indicated as secondary visa resource in agilent connection expert(I think I did it while installing agilent io libraries suite.) . How can I switch between NI and agilent visa as primary visa resource? Do you think think this will help?
    I terribly need measurements from this set up and really appreciate your help if possible.
    Sincerely
    Caglar Yavuz, University of Michigan,Ann Arbor,EECS department. 

    Caglar,
    The documents you mention ahould include the proper prcedure for using this hardware in LabVIEW. Here are my recommendations:
    The version of NI-VISA  you mentioned is not valid. The most recent version is 4.6.2. I would recommend ugrading if you do not have this version. After the upgrade,ensure that tulip is enabled as well as the other settings and see if this helps.
    When talking about the instrument, the biggest concern that usually is relevant with 488.1 is that it will not respond to *IDN?. In your case, it looks like it does, and should work as 488.2 is backwards compatible. It seems to me, the issue is still with the 82357A, and we have not yet reached the voltmeter.
    In order for NI-VISA to work with your device, NI-VISA must be the primary visa driver.
    Hope this helps, let us know how the upgrade turns out. If you continue to have issues, take some screenshots of the preferences in MAX and upload them on the forum.

  • How to synchronize File Manager Server when I install Agile on distributed?

    The Environment I install is : two Agile Server , two File manager Server ,one Web Proxy Server, one DB Server .

    Now I finish install two Agile Server ,and successful make two server compose a cluster.
    Now I will install two File manager Server ,I want to ask what's the method let me synchronize two file manager Server ?
    Does the File manager has this mechanism to let the file keep synchronize on two file manager server?
    I find a PDF name "Agile PLM Capacity Planning Guid" V 9.3.1 ,it says there are two software can synchronize file manager server , is XXCOPY and RoboCopy, but the two softwares only support Windows . Is there a software support synchronize file manager server on Linux ?

    Hi I believe you have the wrong forum.
    This forum is for the Agile PLM for Process product suite, not for the Agile A9 suite. For Agile A9 or Primavera questions, you can use Oracle Support, Support Communities, Yahoo Groups for Agile API or WRAU.
    This forum is for Agile PLM for Process, which is part of the same Agile family but a different product.
    Thanks.

    it doesn't do anything, stays at the same placeIt's all about context here and there are still many unknowns here that can effect your result and that you have not told us or shown us. My suggestion to you is to consider posting an SSCCE (Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example, a condensed program similar to your current program in that it demonstrates the problem at hand, but is the smallest bit of code that still compiles and has no extra code that's not relevant to your problem.

    Also, when posting your code, please use code tags so that your code will retain its formatting and be readable. To do this, you can will need to paste already formatted code into the forum, highlight this code, and then press the "code" button at the top of the forum Message editor prior to posting the message. You may want to click on the Preview tab to make sure that your code is formatted correctly. Another way is to place the tag [code] at the top of your block of code and the tag [/code] at the bottom, like so:

      // your code block goes here.
      // note the differences between the tag at the top vs the bottom.

  • How to Reset the Sata Link Controller for Full Sata 3 speeds on an OCZ Agility 3

    So I purchased a new OCZ Agility 3 drive, installed it into the main bay of my 2012 Macbook Pro, and the drive was running at half speed. I called OCZ and spoke to the guys about how to resolve this issue, they were very knowledgeable, but they had no ideas how to make thier Linux Live Tool work on the Mac, which gives us the ability to reset the controller. Here's what I did to get the full speeds out of my OCZ Agility 3.
    - You will need a Windows computer, or the ability to create and install Windows on a Bootcamp partition on your Mac.
    - Thumb Drive
    - Lots of Patience
    1. Open Disk Utility and create one partition on your thumb drive under MS-DOS Fat 32. Click the Options tab and select “Master Boot Record.”
    2. Go to the OCZ forum and download the older Linux Live Tool version: OCZ_Tools_316-old.zip. From my experience, the newer version doesn’t work on the 2012 Macbook Pro.
    3.Download the “Universal USB Installer” for Windows, and follow the steps to install the ISO to your Thumb Drive using the instructions located on the OCZ Forum. http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?99275-NEW!-Bootable-Linux -based-tools-for-OCZ-SSD-s&p=714047&viewfull=1#post714047
    4. Once the ISO is successfully copied to the Thumb Drive, insert the USB stick into your Mac with the OCZ SSD installed in the Main Bay, Power On, and hold down the “Option” key. You should see a yellow hard disk icon that says “Windows,” select it and press enter.
    5. Once the OCZ Tool loads up, click the “Green Arrows” to put the drive into Sata II mode. Shutdown the computer, power on, and check the System Profiler. The drive should be running at Sata II speeds.
    6. Shutdown the computer and boot into the OCZ Tool, and click on the “Red Arrows.” This will reset the controller to its default mode of Sata III (Sata 6 Mode).
    7. Check the speed of the drive using the disk speed test of your choice. The drive should now be running at full speed.
    The biggest accomplishment here was actually getting the OCZ Linux Live Tool to load on a 2012 Macbook Pro. The newer version of the tool doesnt support the USB 3.0 drivers, so you loose the funtion of your trackpad and keyboard or bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
    **Note: Black Magic Disk Speed Test Version 2.0 may give you lower numbers than expected due to the compression method in testing the drive. I would prefer using XBench or Disk Speed Test Version 1.0**   
    ***Here's a link to a thread that explains how to properly install your OS onto the drive. If not done correctly, this can also cripple the speed of the drive.***

    I can almost see a big grin appearing in Bob's avatar... 
    Hopefully his reply has given you a clue already?
    If not, some explanation:
    Many settings in the standard "Media" panel (for both video and audio) don't apply for publications that need to go the Folio-way. This panel is mainly concerned with lovely Flash stuff, but apart from the Poster frame and the Markers, it is useless for Folio's.
    A quick guide: create a video with the necessary codec (H.264 for video, MP# or AAC for audio) at the required pixel size (exact width/height). Simply Place the file in InDesign, but don't scale it (or recreate and place a properly sized new video afterwards). Choose what to do with the Poster frame (and maybe some Markers), but all other settings are done in the Overlay Creator.
    Check Bob Bringhurst's Tutorials and his DPS Tips app for more info. But I guess you get the idea now.

  • Can I use the second TCP / IP port on my cRIO to drive a meter Agilent

    I would like to use the second TCP / IP port of my NI cRIO-9024 to control my Agilent 33210A pulse generator with VISA TCP/IP.
    My Agilent has only TCP/IP and GPIB ports.
    Is it possible?
    cordially

    All the MACs (from my old 2006 PPC Mini) will auto detect ethernet crossover and straight through and rollover cables correctly. They should be Auto-MDIX.
    Having said that, the FW800 (via TB) and Ethernet should be very close in terms of performance.

  • T61, OCZ Agility 3 doesn't fit in the HDD cage

    Hi all
    So, I finally bought myself an SSD for my old ThinkPad. Works wonderfully - except that it doesn't fit quite right. 
    The OCZ Agility 3 is slightly too wide for the HDD cage, on the bottom of the drive. Recall that the drive sits bottom side up in the ThinkPad, and that the cage sits on that side. My drive doesn't fit that way, however it does fit beautifully with the HDD cage turned upside down (obviously you can't screw the drive to the cage this way, but that is not a problem)
    Now for my question: there is two metal tongues in the top of the HDD compartment, that I'm quite sure should be in contact with the HDD cage - which they now are not. Is my drive now not electrically shielded the way it should be, or what is the purpose of these?
    I could cut some plastic off from the drive and make it fit the right way, but I'm pretty sure that would void the warranty of the drive, something I don't want to do. The ThinkPad on the other hand, is long out of warranty. Answers, information and suggestions is greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely /O8h7w 
    A few thoughts that fled from the head of O8h7w
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That is strange that the drive is wider than a normal drive!
    You don't really need the cage. You can get away with just sliding on the rubber boots, and put a piece of wide tape folded over on the drive so that you can pull it out if needed.
    Enjoy the SSD!
