Anybody has thermonics T-2500's instrument driver?

Has anybody developed the instrument driver (GPIB)
for Thermonics T-2500?

Hi,
Unfortunately, I was unable to locate a driver for your instrument at either thermonics website or at www.ni.com/idnet. I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/ and with the instrument manufacturer. We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the
vendors specialize in driver development. I would suggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:
http://www.ni.com/alliance
An instrument driver is a collection of functions that implement the commands necessary to perform the instrument�s operations. In short, someone read the instrument user manual and implemented some of the functionality in a program for the end user. Instrument drivers are not necessary to use your instrument. They are merely time savers to help you develop your project so you do not need to study the manual before writing a program.
There are example VI's in LV on Instrument Connectivity. If you go to the Help menu >> Examples.. >> I/O, you will see a couple and Examples.. >> Fundamentals for File and String manipulation. I would suggest tweaking them to suit your application. Also the specific command that your instrument responds to can be found from it's manual.
Some useful resources for your application are
ni.com > NI Developer Zone >
Development Library > Instrument Connectivity
http://search.ni.com/?col=alldocs&layout=TechResources&ql=a , to search examples and knowledge bases
Hope this helps!

Anybody has a LabVIEW 6 driver for Agilent 8510C?

Hello. I have LabVIEW version 6 and I am trying to talk to an Agilent 8510C network analyser. I seem to be able to communicate with the instrument only for sweep, number of points, etc, but I cannot transfer any data from the 8510 to the PC (to export data to Excel). I tried saving data to memory, and using the "outpdata, outpfrmt, outpraw" commands to transfer numbers to PC with no luck.
The NI site has only labVIEW 7 and 8 driver versions, so I am stuck. Has anybody developed anything for L.6? Any help much appreciated

Give this a try. In the future, if you need other drivers, it would help if you would attach the driver from NI's site. It's pretty simple to do a save for previous version assuming someone still has older versions of LabVIEW still installed. A lot of us do so it just makes it easier to do the down conversion if you attach the file you need converted.

LV driver for THERMONICS T-2500 Temperature Forcing System

Hi
I'm looking for a LabVIEW (GPIB)-driver - couldn't find
anything until now. In the past I have written similar stuff for TEMPTRONIC's TPO 4200 - but now we got "different" equipment. I saw that there was the same question two years ago.....- but no solution.
Thank you
Werner

Hello,
Taking a look at the thermonics web site, there is a library found here that looks like an instrument driver for you device.
This instrument driver is not available in ni.com/idnet, and has not been certified by National Instruments. However, as it comes directly from the manufacturer they may be able to provide support for the driver if it is necessary.

Has anybody used the microsoft JDBC 2.0 driver for sql server 2000?

Hi,
Has anybody used the JDBC 2.0 driver for sql server 2000 downloadable from the
microsoft website?When I try using it with WL 6.1 sp1 it says it can't load the
driver.I try viewing the class file from the jar file using the jar utility it
gives an unknown Zip format error.Anybody has any solution for this ?If anybody
has managed to work with this microsoft driver i will be grateful if they provide
me with a solution.
Thanks
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
You may want to download the driver again and install it again.
heres a sample xml tag in the config.xml:
<JDBCConnectionPool
DriverName="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
InitialCapacity="3" MaxCapacity="12" Name="MSpool"
Password="{3DES}fUz1bxR0zDg=" Properties="user=uid"
Targets="myserver"
URL="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://mydbserver:1433"/>
ensure that you follow the instructions from Microsoft. For using 2000
driver you will need to have
Install_dir/lib/msbase.jar and Install_dir/lib/msutil.jar in addition to
Install_dir/lib/mssqlserver.jar in the CLASSPATH.

Is any one has the instrument driver for APD-Vp series servo motor(manufacture is Metronix in korea) for labView7.1?

Please help me.
Thanks

Hong Zhang,
The Instrument Driver Group gathers requests and may or may not come out with particular drivers based on demand.
We have some excellent online tutorials that should help you out:
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/ is a must starting point for tips/information on developing your own driver. The following site specifically talks about LabVIEW instrument drivers:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzoneweb.nsf/Opendoc?openagent&64325190560C97CE86256E4A006F27F1
If you have any specific questions feel free to post back and we'll see what we can do!
(also have you contacted the instrument manufacturer to see if they have one or would be willing to develop one?)

Does anybody has a CDN491 driver for CVI?

Looking for a friendly interface to this board.

Yes, thank you, i looked into that. I seem to be having
difficulty contacting them by phone and email however. I figured
i would try NI and see if anybody has already made a compiled VI.

Instrument Driver Tool has blank Source driver list.

I am trying to create an Instrument Driver form a template using the Instrument Driver Project Tool. When I launch the tool there are no drivers listed in the Source Driver pull down list. Does anyone know why this list would be blank and how to correct the problem?

If the Templates that are installed with LabVIEW are deleted they drop down menu will be blank. You can try restoring the templates (if they were recently deleted) or try to do repair for LabVIEW so the templates are re-installed.

Anyone has an instrument driver for Agilent E8364 50GHz PNA

Does anyone have a working instrument driver for the E8364 50GHz PNA? I am currently tryin to use the agpna instrument driver downloaded from NI but i am having errors. The PNA balks that the "query is unterminated" and then the VI times out. Please let me know if you have a working instrument driver.

Is this the driver you are downloading?
If so,
- Are you running the Getting Started VI to test communication?
- Did the ID query pass?
- Make sure you have VISA 2.6 or later installed.
- Try running NI-spy with with the Log to File option enabled and post the spy capture.

I get an error when I use the instrument driver KE230x.

Good day. I am using the ke230x instrument driver connected to a Keithley 2306-PJ. I am using the USB to GPIB to communicate with the instrument
I load the Getting Started VI and when I hit run I get the following error message
====================================================================
Error - 1074003951 occured at ke230x Initialize With Options.vi
Possible reason(s):
Driver Status: (Hex 0xBFFC0011) Primary Error: (Hex 0xBFFC0011) Identification query failed.
Elaboration: Failed to Recognize Model
=====================================================================
When I place the "id query" switch into the false position, everything appears to be working. I have left the "reset device" in the true position and I see the instrument resetting.
I do not understand what is happening?
Thank you for your time and help.

Good day. Dennis - thank you for your response. My next question is if I leave the ID Query off (false) position, I still cannot get the program to work.
My guess is that I am doing something wrong (I am relatively new to LabView). I use the Getting Started vi and everything looks to be working okay. I then start the Application Example (I run the Getting Started vi before I run the Application Example to make sure that the Application Example has the correct instrument handle). When I run the Application Example I get the following error message
Error -1074130544 occurred at ke230x Configure Current Limit.vi
Possible reason(s):
Driver Status: (Hex 0xBFFA1190) The session handle is not valid.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

No longer able to import CVI Instrument Driver in LabView 2010

Hello,
I used to be able to download the Import CVI Instrument Driver Wizard in LabView 2009, but there is no wizard for 2010?
I also tried importing the driver with the shared library import, but then Binary, Slides and Rings do not come up with their values i.e. if my slide in CVI has 3 positions :
Description      Value
Item 1                 1
Item 2                 2
Item 3                 3
or if my Binary has
Description      Value
On                        1
Off                        0
they do not import the description into LabView 2010?
I tried copying the directories created by the 2009-wizard to the directories of 2010 i.e.:
from     C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\resource\CVIFpConv
to          C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\resource\CVIFpConv
and
from     C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\project\_DriverCtoLV
to         C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\project\_DriverCtoLV
and the wizard loads and runs until I specify a .fp file and then I get the error in the jpeg attached. When I try to open the block diagram (FC_RFL_Initialize.vi), it says you need a password to view it, so that stops my debugging.

Import CVI Instrument driver with void pointer

Hi,
I would like to use a CVI instrument driver that contains void pointers as parameters in LabVIEW. There are additional parameters which declare the kind of data where the void pointer points to.
If I try to import this driver to LabVIEW I get warnings that the void pointer paarameters are converted to I32 since LabVIEW do not have the void pointer.
Does anybody know if it is possible to import a CVI function with void pointers that will work properly in LabVIEW? How do I have to handle this converted void pointer?
Thnaks,
erik.

Erik,
you may have a look at this discussion forum thread.

Import CVI instrument driver in 8.0

I have CVI instrument driver which just has some c funstions and it does not communicate to any instrument.
It always worked for me in 7.1.
After getting 8.0 and I had to download and install LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows-CVI. It did not work.
I get following error.
The following instrument driver VI(s) cannot be created. This may indicate that the function in the CVI function panel (.fp) file is not consistent with VXIpnp and IVI standards. For example, the function has user-defined data types or has a duplicate function name in the .fp file.
But this works in 7.1.
What do I have to select in Class group?
Which step am I doing wrong?
LabVIEW Interface Generator for LabWindows-CVI is different from 7.1's built in generator.

Thanks.

I've been playing some more and here is where I'm at.
I
downloaded DriverCtoL.exe from ftp.ni.com. I
forget where exactly I got it and I can’t find it again. I run the program and
it installs the tool/convert cvi to vi command. When I run the command and find
the 2533.fp file it asks for, I get and error message.
“Error
-43990 occurred at Not a valid function panel file.
Verify that
the function panel file is valid and attempt the conversion again.”
Is there
another way to convert the cvi to vi? Or, what step am I doing wrong?

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.

SM240 CVI spectrometer instrument driver

Hi,
I'm looking an instrument driver for SM240 spectrometer (CVI Laser company)
to use it in Labview enviroment.
Thanks,
Miguel.

National Instruments has many instrument drivers on its webpage (follow link below to Downloads). If you cannot find it there, you can follow the link to "Other Driver Resources" where other companies place their drivers for use.
http://zone.ni.com/idnet/
If you cannot find it, you may consider finding one for a similar instrument and modifying it to work with your instrument.
