Download instrument driver problem & doubts

Hey friend, i encounter sme problems in displaying my waveform in my labview exercise..currently i am a student n wrking on proj. My present/ongoing task is to try out n understand a prev ex done by a student frm the last batch. The ex is a AM modulation ex. the driver installed by her is    54602B   4-channel Digitizing Oscilloscope however i check my oscilloscope is HP 54600B instead, my signal generator was changed but i am not sure isit the same brand model but current generator is HP 8648B 100-2000 MHz. My teacher say it is a completed n no error ex solution. but no matter how i try and change e setting on the oscilloscope i cant manage to display two match waveform. 1 is internal result another is external which came frm the scope and send the information into the com LabView ex. I even redo and follow e instruction n connection diag she have printed out but it still doesn't wrk.The only fault i thik n suspect that might lead to failure is the prob which i jus mention..so i need to clarify n confirm it..any1 who can help pls reply mi asap..Thanx alot!

(The Signal Generator Information graph should display a waveform almost similar to Modulating Signal)

  • Hp 4145B instrument driver problem

    I am having a problem with the graphics plot.vi program of the hp 4145B instrument driver library I downloaded from NI network. This Vi calls a sub vi which is data output.vi and this particular subvi is unable to send its data to the computer. Only in case of short integration time (i.e. the instrument takes measurement very fast and it is not worth always), the dataoutput.vi is able to write if the time out (in ms) is large enough. However I would like to get the data out for a larger integration time, so that the data is good enough. And although this subvi works, this is unable to send its data array to the graphics plot.vi and I get an error message from graphics plot.vi saying error with receive message problem. Could anypne help
    me with this?

    It sounds like you just need to adjust your timeout. Open the initialize VI and increase the timeout in the block diagram, the original values is set to 10000ms.

  • How to save changes to downloaded instrument driver

    I am using downloaded Tk278x drivers. The default address is different from my what I want. I tried to change the address in the VIs. But I am not lucky. How can I do it? Many thanks.

    It looks like this is a driver that Tektronix wrote and donated to the Instrument Driver library. The VIs on the palette are a mix of examples and instrument driver VIs, and the examples hard-code the GPIB address. (The instrument driver VIs have the white background on the icon, and the examples have a gray background.)
    So, if you are interested in using one of the examples in your application, I would make a copy of just that example VI. Be sure to rename the VI when you make a copy. (E.g., "My TEK 278X.vi". Otherwise, since LabVIEW only allows one VI of the same name in memory at a time, your application might link to the original VI in instr.lib.) Ensure that all of your VIs reference the new copy, and not the VI with the original name in instr.lib.
    In these examples, it appears that there's a string constant on the diagram that you just need to change from "1" to whatever your GPIB address is.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to add instrument driver on labview in Mac

    Hi,
    I used to use Labview on windows and there was a menu in Tools >> Instrumentation >> Find Instrument Drivers and then I was able to find the driver for the instrument I was working on and install.
    However, since I've been using labview on mac, there is no such menu. It only takes you to the website where I can search and download the instrument driver in a zip file, but then I'm not sure how to install the downloaded instrument driver on the Labview in Mac.
    Can someone give me a hint?
    Thanks,

    Unzip and move the folder to instr.lib.

  • Anritsu S113B Instrument Driver

    Hi,
    I'm looking for an Antritsu S113B instrument driver for Labview 6.
    I was unable to get the "awsm2" from the NI download area to work., I think
    this is an old driver which may not support the newer model S113B.
    One of the problem is that the driver expects 604 bytes from the device, but receives 608 bytes, I am not sure where these extra bytes come from.
    Some of the VI's work, others (most) don't work at all.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Heinz

    You best resource for troubleshooting instrument drivers in LabVIEW are NI-SPY, Highlight Execution, and the Instrument's manual. I would suggest making sure the flow and command structure are valid for the S113B using these utilities.

  • Connecting to the printer, driver problem

    I'm trying to connect to the printer (hp business inkjet1100) that's connected to a computer running xp (pro sp3) from my laptop running vista (home prem 64x). That just seems confusing reading that so: (printer)>>>(xp/desktop)<<<(vista/laptop). I already have a network set up and can share file with no problems, so I thought it'd be easy to connect to this printer. I was wrong.
    I try to connect to the printer by going to control pannel>printers>add printer>networked printer>printer's name after making it share on the xp computer (the name showed up on the vista computer so there's no problem there). Then vista tried to connect to the printer (bless it's heart) but had a problem (no suprise) it couldn't find a driver and wanted me to manually find the .inf file. No problem I'll just download the driver for the hp website, right? Wrong.
    Apparently there are no drivers for my printer for windows vista, however there is a workaround. You can use the drivers for the 1000 series printer and basic functions should work (hopefully that includes printing). The problem is that the workaround tells me to manually set up the printer (port, driver, etc) and then reconnect the printer to the computer (the problem being the printer isn't connected to the computer in the first place).
    Now I consider myself pretty good with computer and able fix most problems without help (and unfortunatlly end up helping plenty of the family with their problems), but this is just annoying. So I decide it's time to call in the experts (from india).
    I choose the live chat becuase it always seems faster and I haven't yet had one that would play me music while I wait (some may consider this a positive thing). The problem is that I have to find my serial number and product number. I copy down the 2 easily labled numbers, but that isn't the right combonation. So I search for "finding product number" and I get a page just like what I search for (finally some luck). After clicking on printers I get to a page called "Finding Your Product Name." At this point I give up on the hp website and just write down every number on the back of the printer. Finaly the stars align and I get to start chatting with a person. A couple of auto messages pop up and then he asks me to confirm the information I just entered (if it was wrong how did I get into the live chat?) and then continues to inform me that my warrenty has expired and it'll be $25 for support. I ask him if there is any other type of support and he says that the most he can do (probono) is give me a link to a webpage on the hp site (I've been there believe it or not), I thank him for his time and move on. Hopefully the expired warrenty doesn't matter here (but if it does just ignore that part it was a total lie just to see if you'd really help a guy without a warrenty (to test if you were really good people or just .....))
    Thanks in advance for your time

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The following worked for me, even allowing me to manually select the driver
    Alternative method 1. 1. Click on the Windows icon>>Start Search>>Type printers and press enter. 2. Click on 'Add Printer'. 3. Click on 'Add a local printer'. 4. Click on 'Create a new port:'. 5. Do not change the 'Type of port:'. By default it is selected as 'Local Port'. Let it remain the same. 6. Click on 'Next'. 7. In the small 'Port name:' window, type the following under 'Enter a port name:'
      NOTE: The names should be exactly the same. They are case sensitive.
      \\computer name\printer name   
      For instance: If computer name is 'John' and printer name is 'HPprinter', you have to type the exact name with all the characters including spaces. Hence in this case it would be the following:
    \\John\HPprinter
    8. Click on OK.  9. Click on Next and complete the Wizard. (It will now install the printer and driver) I used the 7400 series driver for my 7550 but it works.10. Try to print a Windows test page and check the printer functionality. 1 Click on the Start icon on your Desktop.2.Select Control Panel.3.Double click on the Printer icon.4.Select and Right click on HP Photosmart 7550 Printer series icon.5.Click on Properties.6.In the Properties Windows click on Print Test Page Tab it will start printing a Windows Test Page

  • I would like to know which instrument driver works for the Tektronix TDS 544A

    I am trying to use TDS544A with CVI and downloaded the driver for TDS 540 and it didnt seam to work... should it? If not, which one will???

    Hello,
    Well, it appears that you are correct in that it must be somewhat different since you are getting the errors you described. Since that is the case and we don't have an instrument driver for that particular instrument, I would recommend one of two things. Try to modify the existing instrument driver to send the commands that your instrument expects, or make regular Visa calls to communicate with your instrument.
    Also, I would encourage you to submit a request for the specific instrument driver you are interested in. I cannot guarantee when or if it will be created, but they will evaluate what can be done and get back to you. You can submit that request here:
    http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/
    Good luck

  • "undefined symbol" error while using a custom instrument driver

    Hello all, I'm facing a problem related to instrument driver creation.
    I want to pack a part of my code to a .FP to be able to reuse it in other applications of mine. This part of code includes calls to Windows API and a third party dll. I have included both windows.h and the include for the dll in the header file for the instrument. I developed the source code and next a little application that simply calls one function to test the result of my work, but I get some 'undefined symbol' errores while linking the test application with the instrument. The instrument header file is included in program source file.
    Situation is as follows:
    I can run the test application if I include the source file for the instrument directly in the project (without loading the instrument)
    I created a static library and can have the test program up and running if directly including the library in the project (again without the .fp file)
    I get linker errors when trying to use the instrument I created based on the same code, both when including the instrument at source code level and when including at library level. Adding the .fp to the project makes no difference
    Linker errors are all related to WinSDK and third-party dll functions.
    Question is: where and how I have to declare the symbols apart including the appropriate .h files in the instrument header file?
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
    My contributions to the Developer Zone Community
    If I have helped you, why not giving me a kudos?

    Being waited on to log on... how flattering
    I wish I had a simple and obvious solution, but I don't.
    The problem in this case is that, whereas DLLs (via their import libraries) carry no additional build-time dependencies to their clients, that is not the case with object files and static libraries: any project that uses those .obj and .lib files must satisfy all of their dependencies when that project builds.
    There is a mechanism, with .fp files, to advertise such dependencies to the clients of the .fp, and that is the auto-load list (Edit>>FP Auto-Load List, in the function tree editor). The caveat, however, is that these indirect dependencies must have a companion .fp that you can add to this list. And in your case, you don't have one. So the only solution I can think of is for you to create a very thin wrapper module where you would wrap all of the SDK functions that you need, then create a basic .fp for this wrapper -- you can do this semi-automatically, from the header file (Options>>Generate Function Tree) -- and then add this .fp to the auto-load list of your primary .fp. And then you'll probably have to create a second .fp wrapper for your other dependency (a non-SDK third-party DLL?).
    Once you have declared the dependency chain for this .fp, you should then be able to use it on any test application and CVI should know to link in these additional static libraries whenever it builds the test application.
    If you choose to go this route, you'll probably have to deal with a bunch of non-standard data types in the parameters of the SDK functions. I don't remember if these are automatically added to the .fp when you create it from the header file. If not, all you need to do is add them to the .fp  later (Options>>Data Types, from the function panel editor). Don't worry about providing the definitions for these data types. They're not necessary. You just need to make sure that their names are in the list.

  • Lenovo T400 screen goes dark issue, some video driver problem

    Lenovo:
    Motherboard:
    CPU Type: Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2400 MHz (9 x 267)
    Motherboard Chipset:  Intel Cantiga GM45
    System Memory: 1992 MB (DDR3 SDRAM)
    BIOS Type: Phoenix (08/19/08)
    Display:
    Video Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family 
    Video Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family 
    3D Accelerator: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 
    Problem/Issue:
    Driver problem appeard after upgrading from XP to Windows 7.
    From the Device Manager I saw that ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 was not working properly and
    a) I did the "update driver software." After restart the screen light was darker than usual. (This was usual if I was working from battery but I was plugged in this time. ) 
    As I'm not the best with computers I thought my drivers might be in conflict and to prevent serious damages, I just
    b) disabled ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 from device manager. 
    This actually resolved the dark screen problem.
    c) then I went to Lenovo support site: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-72858
    downloaded newest drivers for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 (Switchable Graphics Driver)
    and Intel 4500MHD (Intel GM45 Express Chip)
    For some reason while installine the: Intel GM45 Display Driver (version 8.15.10.2302) gives me error:
    "This Computer Does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
    Also some problem appeard when installing the new downloaded version:
    ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver  (version 8.792.5-110424b-119200C)
    d) so I went back to device manager and made an update to ATI Mobility Radeon  from there. 
    Well, I got it working, but the screen went dark again. When I disable the driver it goes back to normal
    brightness and when I enable it again, it stays normal.
    I'll try to restart and see what happens

    We had the excat same issue.
    I could get the picuture back pressing the power button until it went to sleep and then wake it up again.
    After the I went to device manager to delete all display drivers both Intel and ATI and then reboot.
    doing the reboot windows found some drivers it could use.
    I then installed the switchable driver from lenovo.
    Now windows device manger report two display drivers:
    1)
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series, Version 8.792.5.2000, Driver manufacturer ATI Technologies Inc
    2)
    Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, Version, Version 8.792.5.2000, Driver manufacturer ATI Technologies Inc
    So it seams the switchable ATI driver take over the Intel card and the Intel driver is not needed.
    At least the problem is solved for us.

  • Printer Driver problem/question....

    Using a MacBook with 10.5.1. A Linksys wireless network hooked to a desktop PC and an Epson Stylus Photo R380 printer also hooked directly to the PC.
    Problem: When the Mac is hooked up directly to the printer it works fine. However, when trying to print from it via the wireless network, the print comes out in a light, weak shade of black and colors.
    In setting up the printer, I used the only generic driver available in the list provided in the set up window for this printer, a gutenprint v5.1.3.
    Spoke to the Epson people who say that the problem is probably because I am not using the Epson driver established specifically for the OX 10.5.x...the v3.68. Therefore, I downloaded that driver and have it on my desktop.
    However, I cannot establish the printer with this driver. I am using the IP setup option. I have used the "Other" option under "Print Using" box. Then, click on downloads, then select the Epson driver, then "Open", but cannot get the driver to appear either in the list of drivers under "Select a Driver to use" or in the "Print Using" box. Nothing happens when I use "Auto" either.
    Question: How can I setup the printer with the Epson driver that I have downloaded ?
    I've spent 3 hours trying to reslve this with bot Apple Care and Epson to no avail.
    Appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

    Not sure if this helps or not, but I also have a MacBook running 10.5.1 and an Epson R380 printer. I have the printer directly connected via USB to an iMac. I then use Bonjour to print to it via my Macbook on my home network.
    With both the iMac and MacBook running Tiger, I had no printing problems at all. I had a terrible time trying to print on the R380 from the MacBook running 10.5.1 when the iMac was still running Tiger. It alternately wouldn't let me select the Epson driver for the printer, or when I could select it, the print settings options weren't available to do things like change the print quality or paper type. I downloaded the latest Epson drivers and made sure they were installed on both Macs. I also tried the gutenprint driver packaged with Leopard and I couldn't get it to print at all.
    However, when I upgraded the iMac where the printer was connected to Leopard, it started to work perfectly from the MacBook.
    I know with your set up you have the printer connected to a PC so this isn't exactly relevant. But I thought I'd confirm at least there does seem to be something in general funky with the Epson R380 drivers and using Leopard.

  • Windows 7 - HP Laserjet 8500 print driver problem

    I have tried everything imaginable to correct this HP 8500n print driver problem with no success, please help!
    I cannot correct or get rid of a reoccurring “Incompatible Print Settings” error dialog box message that repeatedly states that “There are one or more conflicting settings. One of the settings is: Output Bin: Mailbox 1, Accessory Output Bin: Not Installed”. The radio button options are “Restore my previous settings or Keep this setting, and I will change it later”. This same dialog message repeats 13 times for all the other various conflicts each time you click on printer properties to change to 2 sided printing or any other printer settings. This printer does not have any of these features attached or set into it.
    I am a volunteer that manages a number of computers on our small church LAN, 2 computers operating on MS XP-SP3, 2 on MS Windows 7 Home Premium and my 2 problem computers that came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium of which I have performed an HP OEM upgrade to Window 7.
    I have isolated this print driver problem to the Vista operating system and even when computers are upgraded to Windows 7 does not correct this driver error. I have also tried every possible print driver variant of the HP 8500, HP8550, PCL, PS to include the Microsoft versus HP versions with no success. In each case I get this error yet neither of the XP computers or the computers that had Windows 7 as a original operating system have no problems with their print drivers for this printer.
    Yes, I have repeatedly searched and upgraded the operating system and print drivers. In desperation I have even tried to find the correctly behaving Windows 7 print driver and transfer it to these Vista upgraded to Windows 7 machines. However I could not isolate the driver location.
    The only thing I can conclude is that this errant HP print driver was resident within Vista and remains resident even after a HP OEM Windows 7 upgrade. Additionally, all of these computers are configured to access this printer via its static IP address on the network.  The XP computers are 32 bit, all of the Vista upgraded to Win 7 and OEM Win 7 computers are 64 bit machines all with respective OS. 
    Can anyone please help me correct this problem?

    Hi, 
    Unfortunately I can't see your uploaded image yet as it is awaiting approval from HP.
    From what I can see you are correct that HP does supply drivers for this printer and that the drivers for your printer are already included with Windows 7.  On the machines affected, try the procedure below to see if it helps at all
    Next download revo uninstaller on the link below and install it.
    http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
    Disconnect the printer from the PC.
    Run Revo and see if it finds any  HP Printer Software installed.  If it does, right click the software icon and select uninstall.  During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries.  If you are, just select all and click delete.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once completed, reboot the PC.
    Re-connect your printer to the PC and follow the guide below.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?&objectID=c02536257
    If this helps you will need to repeat the process on each of the affected machines.

  • HP Color LaserJet 5550 and Tiger (10.4.11) Driver Problem

    I have recently acquired a Color LaserJet 5550hdn. I have updated all drivers and firmware available from the HP Website (Printer Driver, 5550 firmware and Jetdirect 610n firmware). The printer has been factory reset/cold reset etc. to purge any previous custom settings. I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver (933mhz) and Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11). I have made some test prints from both Preview and iPhoto and all have been dark and muddy with respect to colors. I have printed the same images from my wife's PC with HP's PCL 6 Driver for Windows XP and achieve satisfactory results with respect to color (that is to say, without fooling with any color settings in the driver, the image is at least within 10% of the color gamut compared to the screen image). Setting up the printer with the HP Postscript Driver for XP yields similar results as the Mac, dark and muddy colors. So is this a problem with the HP Postscript Driver? Is this a Mac OS X Tiger problem? Do users have color problems with the printer running the Leopard driver? 
    I previously owned a HP Color LaserJet 8550 (utilizing the same HP Driver for Mac OS X that the 5550 uses) and had default images (no fooling with any color settings in the driver) that were acceptable, again within 10% or less of the screen image color gamut.
    I have also downloaded HP's ICC color profiles (CMYK and sRGB) and put them in library/printers/hp/profiles.
    With respect to the driver itself, there are two areas in the print dialogue box which seem to have a bearing on color. One is Colorsync and the other is Color Options. Colorsync has two choices ('Standard' and 'In Printer') and I chose 'In Printer' to I assume bypass any Colorsync Conversion. When 'Standard' is chosen the print summary shows the HP Color LaserJet CMYK profile being used. There seems to be no way of changing the default setting in the Colorsync Utility to HP Color LaserJet sRGB. Not sure if it matters as the output for both 'Standard' and 'In Printer' seem to yield the same results. The options under 'Color Options" in the driver under the 'Show Advanced Options' have choices (Basic, Text, Graphics, Photographs, Advanced) and I have played with these to some extent. Although they seem to have some effect on the image, the print is still dark and muddy with respect to colors.
    On a final note I have tried a 'GutenPrint' driver to see if it would yield different results.....there was not one for the 5550 so I used a driver for the Color LaserJet 5500......it would only print in grayscale....the resulting image did not look very promising even if it had printed in color.
    Insights on any of the above from the community here would be most helpful!
    Thanks,
    -Ray 

    This is an update to my own post above. I downloaded the Mac OS 9 driver (yes OS 9!, but the QuickSilver is Dual Boot) for the Color LaerJet 5550 and printed (no changes to any of the driver settings) the same image (photo) as I used in Mac OS X. The image was still dark but not as poor from Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger). Although I prefer not to use color management, I used the Colorsync tab in the driver and chose to match to Colorsync with a generic sRGB output profile (no other settings were changed in the HP color options tab). The resulting image was +/- 5% within the color gamut of the screen image (yeah!!!) In Tiger the options under the Colorsync tab in the driver are 'Standard' or 'In Device' and regardless of the choice, the print result is the same, very dark and muted colors. There is no option for sRGB and if set to 'Standard' the print summary always shows a CMYK profile being utilized. Given that the HP Color LaserJet 5550 is an sRGB printer as per HP, perhaps that is a problem? I would assume the 'In Device' option would bypass Colorsync (since there seems to be no other way to turn it off) and use sRGB, but that does not seem to make a difference in the image being printed.
    My good success with an OS 9 driver leads me to believe I have a driver problem in Tiger. However, I have no problems with other printers (HP All in One, DesignJet Color Plotter and wide format Epson inkjet....all of which are older) with respect to poor color output. Given this is a current model in the HP line-up and I believe in service during Mac OS X Tiger, it seems hard to fathom other users do/did not experience a problem.
    Again, do Leopard users have a problem with color issues on this printer with default driver settings? Does anyone have driver settings/other insights they could share with respect to Tiger to at least get the print image somewaht close to the screen image? As it stands now, regardless of settings, the printed image is dark with muted colors.
    Thnaks to anyone who can respond, even if it is to say they have no problems in Leopard/Snow Leopard as I am upgrading to a new Mac soon.

    I am visiting a home that has a HP LaserJet P1005.   I need to install the driver on my MacBook Pro Retina using OSX (the latest version: Mavericks).  The owner of the printer has an install disk for the driver but these new MacBook Pros no longer have an internal optical drive.  So I need to download the driver from the internet.  The printer is now out of warranty, not that it should matter.  The HP site says to get the driver from Apple using Software Update but Apple does not have it.  The HP site says if Apple does not have the driver that the older driver on your computer will work - but I don't have that.   So I have not been able to find any support post that helps me.  I tried calling the 800 number and was on hold waiting for half an hour before I gave up.  Please help!  I need to print some documents in the next few days before year end.  Thanks.
