Connecting PCs via GPIB in Labview

Is there a way to connect two PCs via GPIB, both running a Labview program? I just want to excange text files between them. The GPIB cards are PCMCIA-GPIB cards from NI.

You can, but you might not enjoy it.
I don't have the specifics for your GPIB cards, so I don't know how to do it for them, but in a previous job we put one of the GPIB cards in a non-System Controller mode. Then we could make it look like an instrument. Sorry I can't provide more details as it has proprietary code in it. But hopefully it gives you a place to start.

I am doing one Labview project. so my project is about design a interface in labview which one collect the data from keithley 2400 via GPIB connection.

Your first task should be to just be able to send commands to the instrument. Do as Dennis suggested and download the drivers for the instrument and get familiar with them. Build up small VIs that do little tasks with those drivers so you can get used to them. Then worry about your main interface.

HELP! (how to acquire two channels via gpib?)

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I have a LeCroy 4 channel OS connected via GPIB to my PC.
I need to acquire 100ms of data from two channels simultaneously, triggering
the event with a third channel.
I have installed the Labview-IVI drivers for my OS, but looking at the
application's example I find only a one-channel acquisition example, and I
don't know how to change them in order to do a two-channel acquisition.
(I' m able only to make sequential acquisitions....).
How can I syncronize the read waveform blocks?
Please help me,
Many thanks
Andrew

Since you have an IVI driver for the scope, you can use the IVI Oscilloscope class driver. Do all of the initialization and configuration for acquisition, channel, and trigger (under the configuration palette). Under the measurement palette, you can do an IVI Scope Read Waveform for one channel, and then do a an IVI Scope Fetch Waveform. The read initiates an acquisition and the fetch returns a waveform for any other enabled channel without doing another acquisition. Both the read and fetch return an initial x relative to the trigger and x increment in seconds so its easy to get the data you need from the waveform arrays. Good luck.

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.

Any one having the knowledge of communicating Agilent 81250A via GPIB

any one had done interface b/w Agilent 81250A via GPIB
I am working on Agilent 81520A
If anyone can provide me driver, it will be great help for me.
Anyone having some important document used for GPIB communication with Agilent 81250A please provide me.
thanks,
anurag

What do you have it connected to? Doesn't the optical head you are refering to require an actual instrument like the 8153?

Transfer files from scope to PC via GPIB

I want to transfer my hard-copy files from scope to my PC via GPIB link. I am using TDS684B. Is there any possible way. Thanks.

In terms of saving the data, forget that it's coming from a particular instrument (at this point that's an unnecessary bit of detail). There are just so many things you can do with data that comes into LV. You can plot it, analyze it, save it to disk, or print it out.
Save it however you, or your customer, wants to save it. There's nothing special with this data.

Carte gpib pour labview

Bonjour,
Je dois utiliser 2 appareils en même temps, gérés par le pc en même temps.
Le premier est un vieil appareil fluke Helios, utilisant le port RS232. le 2eme est un agilent assez recent, donc je dois passer via GPIB vu que le rs232 est déjà pris.
J'utilise Labview 8.6 pour commander ces 2 appareils (le premier déjà vu que pour le 2eme il me faut une carte gpib).
Cependant, je ne sais pas quelle carte choisir, j'ai jeté un coup d'oeil, sur le site de NI pour les cartes GPIB, mais il est marqué que le support Labview RT n'est pas pris en charge par la plupart des cartes.
Je dois faire une acquisition de tension durant des essais qui dureront au maximum 1h, j'aurai une tension continue et lorsqu'il y a une erreur cette tension disparaît.
Auriez-vous un conseil de carte à me donner? Je suis étudiant en dernière année, c'est pour mon projet de fin d'étude que je dois faire cela.
merci d'avance

Je n'utilise pas de controleur PXI.
Je souhaite monter un système temps réel sur un PC avec une carte d'aquisition analogique et une carte GPIB dont les communications ne seront pas déterministes bien sûr.
Mon inquiètude sur la compatibilité vient du faite que d'une part NI stipule que ses cartes GPIB PCIe ne sont pas compatible RT (voir carte ici) et d'autre part le second message de ce fil qui va égallement dans ce sens.

Cordialement.

How can I connect my Ipad Air to my PC to see the Ipad screen on the PC? I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. Thanks

I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. But now I don't know how to show the Ipad screen on the PC, as if it was a monitor / screen, so that I can then use Lync and share my PC screen with people virtually.
Thanks for any help! Regards

Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help! Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
Do I need a cable too and which one?
Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

NokiaPCSuite not connect 6230i via bluetooth while...

my nokia 62301i is getting connected from my PC via bluetooth and other devices but PC Suite is unable to find Nokia 6230i to connect via bluetooth!
Must be a PC Suit Failure!
Needs help!
Thanks.

I have the same issue.
I'm trying to use PC suite (downloaded from nokia site as the proper one for 6230i rel 7) connecting 6230i via bluetooth. Pc and phone are "associated" but when i launch the PC suite I get an error message: "It is not possible to recognize the phone".
I read a lot of post but nobody seems to have solved the issue!
From Bluetooth application I can read files on pc ... so che bluetooth connection seems to work properly; it appears as a PC suite bug .. really boring!
Nokia team can help us ?

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

MacoBook Pro connecting wirelessly via Personal Web Sharing from iMac G5

Subject line says it all... more specifically my problem is that some things seem "blocked" on the MBP when i'm connecting wirelessly via my iMac network, but then are 100% functional when I use other wireless networks.
examples:
• gmail via Mail.app [mailbox always has the ! symbol and says it's timed out]
• playing app-based online games, certian functions will not work
• using FTP software, it won't connect
Maybe this an issue I can fix with port forwarding, if so how do I go about doing this? I was told my iMac is technically acting as a router, but I don't have a lot of experience with this type of networking. Thanks!

Personal Web Sharing can be a bit tricky and yes, it's because of the firewall on the Mac that's sharing its connection.
The actual firewall software in the Mac is completely configurable, but the friendly user interface doesn't support the more sophisticated configurations. Fancier setups would require the use of commandline scripts run from Terminal.
You'll save yourself a lot of headaches if you buy a wireless base station, and forget about using Personal Web Sharing. A $60 Linksys will do the job nicely.

Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

Controlling XY stage connected to parallel port using labview

Hi,
I have a XY stage which I can control using mach3 software. I want to control a signal generator, VNA and the XY stage at the same time. I have programmed SG and VNA using Labview but I am having difficulties controlling XY stage using Labview. I have never controlled an instrument connected through parallel port using labview.
Can anybody give me some ideas to start with? How do I use VISA to control the parallel port? I really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

Hi srms,
Since your question is related to using VISA, I would try posting your question on the Instrument Control Board. You're likely to have better luck there.
