Configure Agilent E8408A mainframe in LabView

How do I configure an Agilent E8408A mainframe with Agilent E8491B IEEE-1394 VXI card and Agilent E1419 Multi-Function (Option 011) so that Labview can recognize it?

tanonev,
You can use VISA or the instrument driver you found to communicate with your instrument. Both will work just fine. Usually Instrument drivers are created because they simplify the tasks and allow you to perform common tasks for your device. VISA will allow you to send and receive commands to you device, usually these commands can be found in the manual for your device. This tutorial may help you understand how to use VISA and instruments Drivers better.

Driver Version 2.1.1
LabVIEW: 2009
Web Link: http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=309EBE8FF8BC0E76E0440003BA7CCD...
Problem: ID Query in "Agilent ESA PSA Series.lvlib:Initialize.vi". ID Answer from Instrument is not match with strings in Match Array. Somebody left whitespace at the strings end. ("Hewlett-Packard,\sE4401B\s" and "Hewlett-Packard,\sE4402B\s").
Everything else is working well.

Hi JCC,

Agilent 33250 vi for labview 6.1

Hi i need agilent 33250a vi for labview 6.1

There is an instrument driver on the Instrument Driver Network but it will support LV7.0. Since the driver is supported by NI you can make a request through support to let them convert it for you to LV 6.1

Connecting Agilent DSO3062A Oscilloscope with LabVIEW using USB

I am trying to connect Agilent DSO3062A Oscilloscope with LabVIEW using USB but the device is not recognized by MAX. I have installed the drivers for scope and it works fine with the scope software. The problem is LabVIEW dosen't recognize the scope. Please tell me the procedure of setting up the scope with LabVIEW 8.2. I am using Windows XP.

Hi there,
I think the issue is that the DSO3062A will not be recognized by LabView as a GPIB instrument through the USB connection. If you check out the 3000 series manual (http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/D3000-97016.pdf) you'll notice on page 8 it says you can't use the USB for programming, it can only be used with their scope software. You need the N2861 module installed on the back to connect via GPIB, and then a GPIB interface to your computer. I hope that helps.

Piloter Agilent 33120 A depuis Labview

Hello,
I have to pilot a multimeter Agilent 33120 A with Labview and my problem is that I downloaded drivers here :http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9066659CE034080020E748...
I tried to test one of the example given with drivers but it doesn't work, does anybody has an idea of the problem?
Do you think it could be about the interface because i'm using a RS 232 wire and I didn't see this type of interface in the suggested interfaces on the website i gave by the link.
Thanks

Bug of configure x-axis N9030A VXA Labview

I am using a PXA N9030A from Agilent, and measuring VXA Analog demodulation. I am running the driver（Agilent X-Series(VXA).lvlib） installed by "Find Instrument Drivers" in Labview 2013, When I set the X-scale manually, I got -221 error "Settings Conflict", however no errors if set the X Scale to "Auto". I checked the sub-VI----"Configure X-Axis.vi" recalled by Agilent X-Series(VXA).lvlib. And I found the sub-VI didn't send COUP 0 to PXA when I set X Scale Coupling "disabled". As you may know in most of the configuration of PXA, if you want to set parameters manually, you have to set the Auto to "0" meanwhile. This bug has been fixed at my side by writing "COUP 0" before writing other parameters as the attached. It works well if you want to set "Auto 1". Of coz you can combine the string together with other commands if you like. PS: First time posting here, hope this can help others who will use this sub-VI shorting debug time. Cheers

Thank u for ur advice.
I had the driver installed by Labview on my PC and I haven't realized there was a driver download page on NI untill you told me.
I found it and submitted the feedback just now.

How to configure the GPIB controller in LABVIEW or MAX to send UNLISTEN and UNTALK when each message ends?

In a PC to PC GPIB configuration, one PC is used as a non-controller and it reads either LACS or TACS status bits continuously. It apears that the controller PC does not send UNTALK and UNLISTEN at the end of each message. The non-controller reads and writes therefor times-out.
What is the correct message synchronisation for a non-controller?
I use Labview 6, PCIIA, WIN98SE.
Thanks.

Are you using LabVIEW as the controller, non-controller, or both?
NI-488.2 does have a configuration option to enable unaddressing. I am not sure of where it is in LabVIEW, but if you search for unaddressing, you should find some information on it. With unaddressing, NI-488. will unaddress the device after communicating with it.
If you are not using LabVIEW as the non-controller, National Instruments does have a software package called NI-Device that may help. This is an API designed for non-controllers. It does not currently have a LabVIEW interface. It works under C++ with a PCI-GPIB board.
A third option is to rewrite your device application. Your device should really not care about TACS or LACS as you read them from the status register Your device
should only look for LACS, DCAS, and perhaps DTAS (if you desire triggering). When it is LACS, it should read data. After a read has completed, it should interpret the data and get ready for a response. It is only at that moment that the device should look for TACS (and DCAS). It is hard to put a flowchart here, but if you design the flow of a standard instrument, you will see some patterns about when to look for certain status bits.

Agilent 488.2 with Labview

I have an Agilent 82357B USB GPIB and have been supplied code that uses GPIB read and write functions. I have NI-MAX and Agilent Connection Expert setup correctly. The program does not error but the write and read functions timeout and do not work. I troubleshoot wrote simple code using hte VISA functions and they work. I wrote the same code using the GPIB functions and it does not work and after I run it the code written in VISA no onger works. I know that Agilent replaces the gpib-32.dll with their version that redirects to their code.
My question is, is there anyway to make the LabVIEW GPIB calls work with an Agilent GPIB device and of course GPIB library? I believe the answer is no but I have seen a post where someone said they are doing it. I just want a definite answer before I deliver the bad news.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

While there have been some vendors that implemented their GPIB drivers with the same function calls that NI uses (ibwrt, ibrd, etc). I don't believe Agilent has ever done this and I've used Agilent cards since the time they were still Hewlett-Packard. I'd love to see the post where someone said they could use the LabVIEW GPIB functions with an Agilent controller.
So, the answer is no to the best of my knowledge. What you need to do is use VISA. Enable tulip support in NI-MAX and it should work.

Convert Agilent 34972A command to labview program

Hi,
I'm using labview to remote control Agilent 34972A.
i need to read from one channel at a higher frequency,and write the result in a file. I think the following command would do that, but I couldn't make it work in labview program.
CONF:RES 70000,1(@101)
ROUTCAN(@101)
TRIG:COUN 1000
INIT
FETC
I attached the program that I'm using right now to get data from different channels with lower frequency.
Thanks.

It was suggested at http://forums.ni.com/t5/Signal-Conditioning/reading-from-one-channel-without-mechanical-opening-and-... that you use the monitor function but I guess you didn't read that or bother to try.

Agilent Intuilink Software in LabVIEW???

Hi,
I'm using a Agilent HP 8720D VNA and the Agilent software Intuilink for this instrument. I have LabVIEW 8.2 and would like to know if anyone has designed a VI to run the Intuilink software from LabVIEW? Is this possible? Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Millie

It is much easier to use the drivers they provided or to write your own communication vi that takes a string control for the commands and responds if it is a query, than to use the Intuilink.. But that's my personal preference..
.... being old school that is

Limited time on your part is not our problem.
Learning how to program in LabVIEW isn't something that can be done overnight.

How to configure an ip camera in labview

I need to control several ip cameras in labview, but I don't know how to configure and add one of these cameras in a labview application, in order for me to get video and to take pictures.
Can someone please tell me how to do this in a way that doesn't involve a camera adapter that can only handle 1 camera at a time. And if I have to use one of these softwares, please sugggest one that can handle a minimum of 5 cameras at the same time.
Thanks in advance!

Hi nando1988,
If I Understood, you can see cameras connected to your computer but not the cameras in the local network. Am I right?
I'm sending you a manual to connect an IP Camera to your system and recognize it.

How to use and configure DAQmx software triggering in Labview 7.0

Dear NI support staff,
I want use to software triggers to start and stop acquiring an indefinite amount of analog samples (as opposed to a fixed number of N samples in most of your code examples). I don't know the correct way to configure the DAQmx property nodes and the DAQmx send software trigger VIs. In the property node VI it doesn't seem to have an entry for software trigger. So I think I am not on the right track. Would you please help me out? It would be great if you can show me an example. Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Bennett

Hello Bennett,
The example below demonstrates how to perform an analog software triggered acquisition in NI-DAQmx. The example allows the user to specify the triggering condition and the number of pre-trigger samples to acquire.

Let me know if you have further questions.
Good luck and have a great day!

Can you program a agilent 8960 rf with labview work?

does labview also work with a rhode and schwarz cmu 200 rf?

If you are using an NI-GPIB board, LabVIEW has a simple set of gpib functions available in the Instrument I/O >> 488 palette. Also LabVIEW and the GPIB driver are shipped with several examples demonstrating simple GPIB applications.
Alternately, if you are using a third-party board, you can either use a VISA distribution compatible with the board or use Call Library Functions to directly access the driver of the GPIB controller. Documentation of the dll should be provided by the vendor.
