Agilent infinium scope scale setting problem!!

I have a vi that sets the frequency on an arbitrary waveform generator and the output of that arb is connected to chan1 on the Agilent infinium scope. When the scope gets the frequency, it Autoscales and then if sets the scale to the right divisions per second on its own, now the problem I have is that if I put lets say more than 10MHz on chan1 of the scope, the Autoscale sets the Scope's scale to lets 50ms/div and I want to be able to programmatically set the scale on the scope to what I want, can someone tell me if its possible or do I have to stick with Autoscaling?
The thing is that I want to be able to read a certain voltage on the channle, lets say I want to be able to read 500mv pk-pk, if the scale of the scope
is on lets say 50ms/div, it takes longer to find the pk-pk voltage that I want and sometimes it may not find it...
Can anyone help?

You can turn autoscaling off and use the Configure Channel.vi function to set the vertical range. Autoscaling before every measurement will increase your test time and is something you might want to avoid in any case but what I don't understand is the other problem you're having with the autoscale function. If the scope is not correctly autoscaling and the signal is clipped, then you might want to talk to Agilent and see if there's something wrong with the scope.

  • Scope scale problem!!!

    Hi all.
    I´m new to labview and currently using version 8.5! My problem is as follows:
    I am connected to a agilent DSO6014A scope through GPIB to USB cable. I used the "Fetch Analog Waveform.vi" in my program for transferring 4 channels signal from scope to PC and write average signal measurement to a file. I am able to retrieve the wave into labview but the scale is not as expected. From 4 channels I send around 2.4V dc signal (with small noise) to labview but with scaling in range 1000 -9000 with different reference (i mean all signal ground is not same in the labview program). I add the image of labview waveform output and expected output and scope output. I expect shortly 4 signal at the same ground/refence around 2.4V.
    I don't know what to do now. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I unfortnately do not have that scope next to me and so I cannot try to replicate this on my end.  However Things that I would verify are:
    1. Verify that you are actually getting the signal that you are expecting at your Oscilloscope. with either the scope display or another scope that you may have present. 
    2. Connect a known voltage to your Scope (1.5 V battery or something different to verify that we can pull that voltage in appropriately).
    3. Write a quick VI with the Agilent Driver to do a simple voltage measurement from 1 channel and gets either 1 value or subset of waveform data to verify that that work sproperly - making it a problem with your VI instead of the acqisition process
    I would give these couple things a shot and see what is actually causing this to occur.  Let us know of the results of these troubleshooting steps.

  • LabView drivers for Agilent 54830B scope or E4402B Spectrum Analyzer?

    Where can I find LabView drivers for the Agilent 54830B scope and the E4402B spectrum analyzer, or at least a driver for another instrument in the same families that I could modify? There are none on the NI site or the Agilent site.

    One thing that I have done several times is get a LabWindows CVI
    driver from Agilent. You will be provided with a .fp file. LabVIEW
    has a link under the Tools>>Instrumentation menu that allows you to
    "Import CVI Instrument Driver." This will take the function calls
    from CVI and build a set of VI's with the same name. The vi's will be
    wrappers for a dll that is used by CVI and other text based languages.

  • Is there a reason why SVG's are importing in at a scale setting of 10% ?

    Is there a reason why SVG's are importing in at a scale setting of 10% ?
    I'm saving elements out of Illustrator CC2014 into Edge CC2014 as SVG's but they come into Edge at 10% which are the right size in Edge but when previewed in a browser look bitmap-ish.
    So I have to set the scale to 100% and then reset the width and height back to what it was at 10%.
    Very frustrating.

    Hi ,
    In Edge Animate CC 2014 we have addressed the SVG Pixilation issue which was observed when any SVG content is animated with "scale up" transform. To solve this problem we are scaling up the container div by a factor of 10(which is by default) and then using image filtering to reduce the resolution based on the inverse scale. Hence , the property panel will show this inverse transform scale since that is the transform scale applied to the svg element. The svgAntiScaleFactor parameter is provided in the AppPref.xml file in the user preference directory of Edge Animate.You can modify this value.
    Win: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Edge Animate\4.0.0\
    Mac: /Users/{username}/Library/Prefrences/Adobe/EdgeAnimate/4.0.0/
    Are you still observing pixilation on browsers?
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Using translate function to correct character set problem....

    I have a table(TBL_STOCK) on Oracle XE.
    Rows come from sql server 2005 with a trigger on sql server table via the linked server.
    But there is a character set problem with some character like İ,Ş,Ğ.
    They change to Ý,Þ,Ð. in Oracle.
    How can i correct these ? Do you suggest the TRANSLATE function ?
    What do u think, if i create an After Insert trigger on Oracle table(TBL_STOCK) and convert these character using the Translate function when they inserted from sql server.
    Anyone have any other ideas that can be more efficient. Any thoughts appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    PS:The NLS_CHARACTERSET of Oracle is AL32UTF8.

  • JDeveloper IDE simple setting problem

    Hi,
    Recently we switched to JDeveloper from Visual Cafe .I have a simple setting problem.How can I set the options so that IDE gives, the core java classes and packages,and our application classes and packeges, prompts in imports as well as in code.Where to set the options.
    eg: when I write
    import java. it should prompt all the pakages.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am not sure I understand what you are requesting, but ...
    You can configure JDeveloper projects to include various libraries by default.
    This is done by selecting menu Tools | Default Project Properties.../ Libraries tab.
    You should define a library for your classes.
    You can import any of the packages / classes from all the libraries which your project includes.
    It would be incorrect for a tool to automatically add a bunch of import lines at the top of every file because each file should import what it needs and just as importantly, not import what it does not need depending on the component type (e.g. a servlet should not include javax.swing.* ).
    An easy way to import elements into JDeveloper is to type in something like:
    import java.
    // and then type in Ctrl Space
    and this launches the package browser, you can select packages or classes to import.
    You can also do this at the variable declaratiton point such as typing in:
    foo() {
    Frame x
    // Press Control Alt Space
    and this will correctly change the type (Frame) to the type you select in the package browser and add the import statement.

  • Nested Sequence issue: keyframe scale setting changes after rendering?

    Hi,
    I'm using PremierePro CS5.5, and have been having this same issue since CS4. After nesting a group of clips, I make the timeline effects entries to animate the nested sequence. For this example, let's say I start at 00.00 with the scale set at 150%, and end the sequence with the scale set to 300%. Just zooming in. Looks OK, so I hit return and render the nested sequence. It plays back, all is good, but after it stops the 00.00 setting magically changes to 100% or some other percentage.  I've tried everything I can think of, from selecting Hold or Linear for the keyframe, to deleting all the keyframes and redoing the settings. It only happens with nested sequences and it seems to only be the scale setting that goes flukey. Anybody else have this happen and could you tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Christy

    Thanks for checking it out Jim. It doesnt happen every time, you know how that goes... just often enough to drive me batty. I'm doing animated whiteboard videos. Lots of short bits of video layered with graphics and stills, some effects, then all that is nested and sometimes the rate compressed. Then I zoom in a bit and that seems to be the last straw. Maybe I am just doing too much? It's a simple, uncomplicated look to the finished piece, but it takes a lot of cuts and tweaks to get it that way.

  • Chart x scale update problem

    LabVIEW  8.5.1
    Sweep Chart Problem
    The x scale values do not update until after the 2nd sweep.  The red line cursor gets to the end of the sweep and starts the next, but the scale numbers do not update until the next sweep starts.
    It appears to be a problem with the chart, since it happens with any vi with a sweep chart.  I've used versions 6 through 7 for years and never seen this.  I've only recently moved to a new job with a new machine and version 8.5.1., so I'm not sure what to try.
    I've included a simple example.
    Thanks much,

    You have a typical race condition!
    There is no data dependency between the property node and the while loop, so in your case the loop starts executing first and the property node starts slightly later, immediately erasing the first point. Execution order is not defined.
    All you need to do is add a data dependency, e.g. as with the error cluster in the image. This forces the property node to complete before the loop is allowed to start.
    (Execution order is enforced even if the wire value is not even used inside the loop )
    Try it!

  • Reflection function is not working, unable to click on it at all. Need help! Setting problem?

    Hi all, I seek for your kind expertise advise on my Keynote. Once I've chosen a slide to open, any type of slide at all, my Reflection button or function is unable to be clicked on to perform that function. However, Shadow function facing no problem.
    I can see the Reflection button but it's blurred like not allowing me to click on it at all. Is this cause by some software problem? Or setting problem? iWork has just being installed.
    Appreciate your expert advice and help!

    Thanks Kelly... That's very helpful. Appreciate that very much!
    By the way, if I may ask further, do you know how to how to make the animation like Steve Jobs did during his presentation on Ipad or Ipad2 where the "word" will drop from top onto the centre of the slide with effect or sort of like smoke or dust floating off and dissolved at both sides of the "word"?
    Will be more than grateful to be hear from again! Cheers and thanks again.

  • Oracle 8i us7ascii character set problem - help required urgent.

    Hi frnds,
    I have a oracle 8i database server installed on sun solaris os. The database character set is us7ascii. In one of the tables TIFF images are stored in a long column. I m trying to fetch these images using oracle 9i client and visual basic(oracle ODBC drivers). But i m unable to do so. I can not fetch special characters.
    Is it because of the character set problem? but when i run my code on the server itself, i m able to fetch the images. I tried to fetch the images using oracle 8 i client on windows XP machine but could not do so. Are there any special settings that i have to do on the client side?

    Indeed, it's an ODBC issue. Read this statement from Oracle:
    From ODBC 8.1.7.2.0 drivers onwards it's NOT possible any more to
    "disable" Characterset conversion by specifying for the NLS_LANG
    the same characterset as the database characterset. There is now
    ALWAYS a check to see if a codepoint is valid for that characterset.
    Typically you will encounter problems if you upgrade an environment
    that has NO NLS_LANG set on the client (or US7ASCII) and the database
    was also US7ASCII. This incorrect setup allowed you to store characters
    like èçàé in an US7ASCII database, with the new 8i drivers this is not possible
    any more.
    Basic problem is the 'wrong' characterset US7ASCII in the database. As long as no characterset conversion happens (that's the case on the unix server), special characters are no problem.

  • DB Creation(character set Problem)

    HI,
    I am in the process of creating new database from the full export dump file which i got from client. In the export logfile i can see,

    I am creating the database manually at my site and planning to import that full export dumpfile from the client.
    Do i need to create the DB with national character set WE8MSWIN1252 or can i also use character set as AL32UTF8
    I want to se the correct character set so that my import doesn't fails because of charactor set problem.
    Please help me.

    Oracle Version at my site:9.2.0.1

    Thank You..

    I can't answer your question because of several things.
    The first is that all versions of 9i are currently in desupport and it has been years since I've seen one.
    But if I was forced to work with 9i I certainly wouldn't do anything at all until I had patched to 9.2.0.8.
    My recommendation would be, unless someone else can help you, to try it and see what happens.
    Nothing ventured nothing gained.

  • Agent control character set problem

    Hi,
    here's my problem :
    i've got the grid that's running on a RHES4 with an agent. On another RHES4, i've got 10g databases that run and another agent.
    The repository database is configured like this :
    nsl_language = AMERICAN
    nls_territory = AMERICA
    character set = AL32UTF8
    all the uploads from the agent on the RHES4 where the grid is installed are ok.
    On the other server, as soon as there's an UTF8 character in a xml file (like " é " ou " ' "), the upload fails and the agent stops.
    in the logs, it s clear it comes from this. I've deleted all the occurences of UTF8 characters in the xml file and restarted the upload and it's ok...
    I've tested different configurations but without success.
    Any clue ?
    Alivetu

    Thanks for the reply,
    NLS LANG is set on the 2 machines with FRENCHFRANCE.WE8ISO8859P15
    I've added the line '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>' at the beginning of the xml file that doesn't work and made a 'emctl upload'....it has passed and the agent has stopped arrived to another UTF8 xml file...
    So, it really is a character set problem but where to set it ???
