Controlling an Agilent E4428C with Labview

Hello All,
We have an Agilent E4428C Signal Generator, and I've downloaded the LV driver and set up the IP address on it.  I can ping it, but I can't see it in MAX.  Are there some instructions on how to set it up for use with LV?  The manual doesn't say anything about LV. 
Thanks in advance.

Bill,
For TCP/IP Instruments you have to add them manually in MAX.  Here is Knowledge Base article that will get you up and going.
After you get the instrument identified in MAX, you can use the LabVIEW Instrument Driver that you have already downloaded.
Post back if you have any problems doing this.

  • Controlling a Nanomotion motor with LabVIEW?

    What do I need to run a Nanomotion motor with LabVIEW?
    LabVIEW - Controller - Driver - Motor
    The Nanomotion motor which I intend to use is a HR4, for alignment purposes in a cleanroom environment. Do you have any experience in using this or other Nanomotion motors please add a comment to this post.

    Marcus,
    some years ago I have used an NI 7344 motion control board to control a Nanomotion ultrasonic actuator. I don't remember the model type of the drive, but it has provided a +/- 10 V command input. The position feedback signal came from a quadrature encoder.
    In fact NI's motion control R&D has worked with Nanomotion to implement some features into the control algorithm of the 734x and 735x boards to optimize the control behavior for Nanomotion actuators. The most important parameters, that were added to support these motors are the foward and reverse offset voltages to configure the static friction deadzone.
    Brief explanation: There is a deadzone of approximately +/- 2 V at the command input, where the motor doesn't react to command voltage changes. The 734x and 735x boards can avoid this deadzone. Otherwise it would be very hard to properly control the actuator.
    I hope that helps,

  • Using Agilent 82357a with Labview

    Is it possible to use Agilent 82357a USB-GPIB interface board with Labview
    Linux version 7 ?

    Hi
    I just installed Labview 7.1 for linux on my machine after throwing away (not literally !) the Agilent card and borrowing an NI PCI-GPIB card. This works with kernels 2.4.x (tested with /usr/local/vxipnp/linux/NIvisa/NIvisaic). However, for proper operation of my machine (have bad display and mouse problems with the old kernel)  I need kernels 2.6.x. The driver in /usr/local/nigpib complains that it cannot work with those. I tried hacking the INSTALL script but it keeps running up against differences (like the modversions.h file) between the two kernel series.
    Can I use a newer version of the gpib libraries for linux with an older version of Labview like I am using ? I guess I will also need to get newer versions of the visa drivers for that. Though, the labview installation went smoothly with kernel 2.4.27-3 on my Debian system, I know that the newer versions of nigpib (is that the same as ni48825L.iso ?) and NIVISA are not supported on Debian. I cannot reinstall with a different distro, so please do not suggest that.
    Any other suggestions ?
    Thanks.

  • Pilot Agilent 33120A with 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

  • Controling heating/cooling element with labview and usb 6008 DAQ card

    Greetings All
    I'm looking for a heating/cooling type of element that I can control with labview and my usb-6008 card. Heating/Cooling will just be for clean water and the temperture range will be from 0 C to 100 degree C.
    Thanks
    The heating and cooling elements can be seperate products. Any recommendations

    A simple kettle element will of course be sufficient for upto 100°C
    To get the temperature down you need a cooling system, what springs readily to mind of course is a refrigerator.
    Just a note of warning, water and electricity are dangerous bed fellows.
    On that note perhaps one of those vortex air units would be safer - they blow hot in one direction and cold in the other, nominally to 100°C

  • How to control a parallel port with labview

    Hi. I'm trying to control a dc motor with a parallel port using labview. the program has to be able to vary the out put voltage of the computer (0 - 5V) through the parallel port into a circuit which will step up the voltage for the motor. Any help would be greatly appreicated. garreth

    Do you want to output and varying signal from the parallel port pins? If so you can't do it, the port pins are digital and can only be high or low, not inbetween. You can control the individual lines high or low using the In/Out Port vis in Advanced>>Port I/O. For more help on doing this search the message archives (I know I've answered a few) and NI's site, there is some good info on it out there. Try some of these for starters:

  • How can i control the Tektronix AFG3022 with LabView 7.0

    I am trying to control the Tektronix AFG3022 Function Generator with LabView 7.0. Is there a premade program I can download and use?

    If it is not in 7.0 make new thread and ask nice if someone can convert to labview 7.0.
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

    all info is welcome.

    if you are using Linux (and the Linux version of LabVIE W) it should be
    fairly easy to use the lm_sensors ( http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/ )
    libraries and source code to control a device connected to a PC's I2C bus.
    Go here http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/hardhack.html to see how to tap into
    the I2C bus of your PC. You may be able to apply info here to roll-your-own

  • Controlling a chemical process with LabVIEW and the SC 2075 board

    Hi,
    I am a degree student and one of my projects is to control a chemical process using LabVIEW and the SC2075 board. The process variables i must control are temperature, pH and also several motor. Is this viable using the SC 2075 board and if so does anyone know where i can attain information on using the board. Also if anyone has suitable sample vi's that may be of use to me it would be very much appreciated. My email is [email protected]
    Kind Regards,

    Hi Derek,
    Bellow is a link the the user guide for the 2075.
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371217a.pdf
    You should be able to aquire data from you sensors but you might need some signal conditioning depening on the voltage levels they return.
    For sample vi's try going to Help>>Find Examples... within LabVIEW or goto the following link to search our developer exachange.

  • Controlling the agilent 89441A under Labview

    I am trying to communicate with our 89441A Vector Signal Analyzer via GPIB under Labview 7.1. I downloaded the intstrument driver (v1.2) from the National Instruments website.
    The application example works fine. But this example uses the instrument mode "vector", and I'd like to use the "scalar" mode. When I change the instrument mode,  the returned data is unexpected. The shape of the plot doesn't change, but the X-data (frequency bins) are in the range -7kHz to +43kHz, were I expected 0..+50kHz. The analyzer displays 0..50kHz on the screen, but the plot on the computer is shifted 7kHz to the left!
    I have no clue on where to look: Is it a driver bug, an instrument bug, or am I doing something wrong? Please help me out here... Anyone experience with this issue? Does anyone at all have experience with controlling the 89441A?

    Yes, I have looked at the programmers manual (I even have a hardcopy ), but unfortunately that didn't bring me any further.
    I'm afraid not so many people have a 89441A, but if anyone has one, please let me know is you have any experience with remote controlling.

  • Can I get stepped out put voltage signal for controls from the BNC with Labview?

    Hi!
    I am new user to NI Labview. I am working in controls applied in Combustion sciences. I want control the Solenoid valve ( Jefferson made,230 V, 11 W) in stepped manner. BNC (2110) is used for the input signal (Piezoelectric pressure transducers) and output signal. The maximum out put voltage from BNC is 5 V. Can I get the out put voltage in stepped and increasing order to ensure the better controls of the solenoid valve?
    Also I would like to know, is it possible for me to control the working frequency ( Injecting) of the solenoid valve with the help of Lab view?
    Thanks.
    With Regards,
    Ganesh

    Just having the same issue there, which is real not fun, I have not tried to contact them, but looking at  your experience I am not sure if I should.
    My key comes from the back of a laptop o so I guess that would be a W7
    OEM, and that could explain why you can't download a ISO from their website, would that also your case ?
    Also could it be because we are attempting to get the ISO after the product became EOL ?

  • Controlling OPUS by Bruker with Labview

    I would like to control OPUS Software by Bruker using Labview, basic commands such as take spectra, anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This process is fairly straight forward, because OPUS is an ActiveX compatible program, with a wide array of DLLs to run any process you want. Simply insert an automation refnum on the front panel of your VI. Right click the arrow icon, scroll down to Select ActiveX Class, and browse through the DLLs you have on your PC. You'll want to select OPUSCMD version XX, depending on the version of OPUS you have. You now have free reign on what processes you want to control via Invoke and Property Nodes in the Application Control on the Block Diagram.
    It's pretty straight forward from there, and the sky's the limit depending on how complex you want to get with your FTIR automation. If you're familiar with Visual Basic, you can write an experiment file (XPM) file that can do anything (collect Backgrounds, Samples, Analysis, QUANT, you name it). I have attached a screen shot of the block diagram of a program I've put together that Starts a VB Macro to collect a background spectrum at 1 cm-1 resolution. Like I said, the sky's the limit. Good Luck.

  • How can i control a sensor CNY70 with labview?

     i am taking a mechatronics course and they ask me as homework to control a sensor but i don not understando what can i control from this sensor, i expect you could help me

    i would start with working out the system, datasheets on the cny70, work out exactly what is required from the question. spec out the hardware, then start writing out rough ideas. Keep looking back at the question and it will all slowly make sense. I wouldnt dive straight into coding until i understand exactly what i need to be trying to achieve.
    once you understand exactly what you need to achieve and with what hardware you can look into planning the code and taking it from there. If you get stuck with coding feel free to ask for help and post the code you have as most people on here will heppily pass contructive critisism as well as help you through the parts your struggling with
