Does anyone still deals with HP3048A Phase Noise Measurement System?

Hello,
I am currently on a project dealing with phase noise measurement. The instrument available is HP3048A(Phase Noise Measurement System)
However, I have this problem that is to extract the program codes used to control various equipment: HP11848A (Phase Noise Interface), HP3561A(Dynamic Signal Analyzer)using LabView 6.1 because I do not have the program codes to control them. The interface used: GPIB
I have the program used by HP3048A to control the instrument but the language is BASIC and the codes used does not seems to work well in Labview 6.1
For example: "RST" when input via using HP3048A can preset the instrument 3561A but does not work for LabView6.1
Can anyone out there help me?
Regards,
Daniel

Hello,
Using VISA while specifying your GPIB resource, you should be writing whatever string you send, and your instrument should receive it. This should be completely independent of the language used. I know that *RST is a rather common command, and semicolons often delimit multiple commands sent at once. Can you try *RST and *RST; just to see if they work? Can you verify the precise command(s) in the user manual? Does any other command work using VISA?
Just a few things to try as we figure out what's going on!
Repost if you're still having trouble communicating!

  • Have anyone used R&S FSEA30 with Labview for Phase Noise Measurement?

    Hi,
    I just accquired a Rohde & Schwarz FSEA30 spectrum analyser. I wonder if anyone here can share their experience in using Labview 8.21 Professional to perform Phase Noise Measurement. I believe Labview 8.21 is far more flexible and powerful than R&S' discontinued FS-K4 Phase Noise Measurement software, which is still being offered at US$3,000 (refurbished). 
    Any links to necessary info and software would be most welcomed.
    Thanks

    Hi Patrick,
    I've used LV to carry out Phase Noise measurements on both R&S and Agilent Spectrum Analyzers ( using LV6.0 to LV7.1).  I have used LV8.2 for other purposes..   I tend to prefer R&S over Agilent, especially when programming LV code.  In both cases I've used LV drivers or simply sending instrument commands via GPIB.  The FSEA30 is a very nice SA. 
    The advantage of the FS-K4 software is that it does the calculations for you, thus greatly reducing implementation time.  And for a company, it may very well be worth the investment, especially at US$3K. 
    Sharing software (vi's in this case) is / will be difficult, since the developped sw is owned by the company for whom it was developped.  For instance, I no longer work for the co where this was done for the R&S.  Recently, I implemented a routine for an Agilent SA.  It had a built-in option to carry out the measurements, so the implementation was merely setting up the SA, go into Phase Noise mode (MOV PH commands, PH_F, PH_MEAS, etc) and that was it.  I seem to recall something similar for the R&S, which was a few years ago..  but I think it also had an option to do the PN measurements..   (I will now have to visit R&S website to refresh my memory).
    All & all, using LV8.2 & R&S SA is a perfect combination.  Their LV drivers are quite useful and simple to use.  I like how they are listed on the block diagram of the tree.vi.

  • Does anyone still have problems with Premier Pro on Maverick? and is there any known fix?

    Does anyone still have problems with Premier Pro on Maverick? and is there any known fix?

    I know OSX 10.9 Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap which is meant to slow down applications that it determins are inactive (or when minimized). This would mostly likely cause problems if you're dynamically linking After Effects comps to your timeline or sometimes exporting to Media Encoder.
    Try disabling App Nap for all your Adobe App files...
    Go to your Applications folder
    Go into individual Adobe app folders (ie. Adobe Premiere Pro CC)
    Right-click on the Adobe app file (ie. Adobe Premiere Pro CC.app) and select Get Info
    When the info window opens up, add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
    Restart the application
    This fixed all my performance issues.

  • Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.

    Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.

    My 2010 Mac Pro does have built in bluetooth but I use the IOGear GBU421 instead.  That's because the built in bluetooth on the mac pro suck$ if you are more than about 3 feet from the machine.
    See the descussion: Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
    It works but you need to get used to its "quirks".  If you sleep your machine like I do the dongle is off because there is no USB power when sleeping for the dongle.  So you need some wired USB device to wake the machine.  In my case I use my wired keyboard.
    When waking up it doesn't always become paired immediately (maybe 30% of the time).  Then you need to flip the mouse switch to get it active.  Interesting enough I don't have that problem with the trackpad.
    Most of the time, in the rear occasions I reboot my machine, the mouse is ready to go.
    Once you get used to the "quirks" it's no big deal.  Hey, for about $9 what do you want?
    By the way I also always keep a wired mouse attached as a backup.

  • TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only  the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
    ...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
    Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

  • Does anyone have problems with data usage with att and Iphone5?

    Hello, Does anyone have problems with data usage or non usage I should say with Iphone 5 and AT&T?

    After 4+ months of dealing with this data usage and battery drain problem that included 3 data captures of my wife's iMac, the trigger for us regarding the problems syncing with iCloud, and 5 hours of logs off my iPhone 6 to be analyzed by Apple engineers that included times my wife's computer was both on and off to demonstrate the difference in data usage and battery drain under those conditions, I can say with very reasonable certainty that the iOS 8.3 and corresponding Mac OS 10.10.3 update has solved the problem. 
    We have now been running for about 2 weeks and data usage with the iCloud Servers attempting to sync has dropped from a rate of 31 GBs to under 15 MBs per month.  Yes, you read it right.  We were burning 2000 times as much data doing absolutely nothing important on both of our phones, a 5s and a 6.  Just imagine what that does to battery life!  The 5s would last about 5 hours and the 6 was dead in less than 14.
    The distasteful aspect of this process was how the engineers were quietly fixing the problem at the same time sending messages to my contact person within Apple that were dismissive in nature in the face of indisputable unreasonable results. I must say, this experience with the multiple times the engineers' responses were inappropriate put a little tarnish on the old Apple shine of the ‘It just works’ mantra. This was my first experience in 34 years that caused me to stop recommending Apple products without reservations and with a disclaimer.
    Since the update solved the problem, then I can only conclude that there was a logic bug regarding the reaction within the process to the incoming data that was corrected.  There was noting short of logging out of iCloud that circumvented the problem for us, Gator5000e and probably many others noted on other threads.  I am not trying to imply that this is the cause of everyones battery use problem, but it is reasonable that it was a cause for many.

  • When I try to sync my Ipad Mini, I get an error message that says "sync session failed to start".  Anyone ever deal with this?

    When I try to sync my Ipad Mini, I get an error message that says "sync session failed to start".  Anyone ever deal with this?

    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart your iPad and try again. If it doesn't work with a restart of the iPad, try a reset of the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
    http://www.adobe.com
    Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
    Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

  • Does anyone have experience with unzipping a password-encrypted ZipFile??

    Does anyone have experience with unzipping a password-encrypted ZipFile??
    My Zip Class works fine with every unencrypted file, but when I try to open an encrypted one, i get an error Message ("Encrypted ZIP entry not supported")
    Is ist impossible to unzip encrypted ZIPs???

    I've searched around a little bit and THIS IS THE SOLUTION!
    There is a (beta)version of winzip8 that uses a cli (command line interface)
    So, all you have to do is to implement a Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) in your java program to call winzip8 and pass the zipfile path and the password.

  • Does anyone have experience with Virgin or Boost Mobile?

    I have been with verizon for a long time...I have 4 lines with this service. I have since bought several phones off of craigslist or ebay just so I wouldn't have to be subjected to the tier plan. We use so much data it's crazy. I want the new Samsung Galaxy S4 so bad!!! Grrr! I've even thought about switching to Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile. We pay so much for our phones now and I know of one guy who has boost mobile and loves it. Does anyone have experience with these providers?

    BC's CRM is part of the package, Salesforce is of course more dedicated. That pretty much sum's up these sorts of use cases.

  • Does anyone have experience with using a Canon Vixia HF M52 Camcorder with Final Cut Express?

    I'm looking to purchase a new camcorder that is compatible with my Mac OS X (10.6.8) that will work well with Final Cut Express 4.0.1  I have downloaded the camcorder support info from Final Cut Express that list many capital camcorders.  I've used Sony tape based camcorders in the past.  I'm looking for High Definition.  I can stick with a tape based camcorder, but thought I would look at the Canon Vixia HF M52 as an alternative, which is listed as compatible.  I would like to download directly from the camera to FCE.  I film in the wilderness, like having an optical zoom of 20 or greater (yes, I use a small tripod). Does anyone have experience with the Canon Vixia?  And if not, but you really like another camcorder that you can recommend, what is it?

    The Vixia HF M52 is an AVCHD camcorder and should work perfectly fine with Final Cut Express 4 (4.0.1).
    The published "camcorder support list" has never been up to date and I would not take it to be a definitive list of compatible camcorders.
    One note, however, the Vixia HF M52 supports a number of different shooting modes.  I suggest sticking with the AVCHD 1920 x 1080i / 60 fps mode for use with FCE.   FCE does not support progressive modes except in 720p25/30 (which the M52 does not seem to shoot anyway); nor does FCE support any 24 fps modes.

  • How does lightroom 4 deal with lossless compressed raw files

    how does lightroom 4 deal with lossless compressed raw files

    Ok, sorry about the vague question.  My concern is centered around a new camera purchase ( Nikon D810 ) which produces huge files.  I shoot in RAW and never use lossless compression only uncompressed RAW because of my conservative nature .  But now it looks like I will be using Lossless compressed to help deal with the file size.  So the question was based on fears of data lost.  Thanks for the replies, and they confirm what I already suspected. So now I can feel confident using lossless compression.
    Thanks

  • Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie?

    Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie, requiring a force quit, which causes your rental to disappear? This has happened multiple times to me recently. Last time Apple didn't refund my money after reporting the problem. I have been using iTunes for many years but am about to give up.

    Correction: I was refunded for the previous movie freeze.
