Ettus research N210 - NI Labview driver

I am using the Ettus research USRP N210 with LFTX/RX daughter boards. I was informed by NI representatives that it is compatible with labview if I download the NI driver software. I need assistance accessing the driver software and the installation procedure.  Thank you.

Hey!
I got an N210 from Ettus and the SBX daughterboard. My intention is to use LabVIEW with that. I used the NI-USRP configuration utility to burn the FPGA and firmware images, but the device will simply not send anything. According to what Erik replied to the initiator of this thread it might be necessary to use property nodes to configure the USRP, but it holds for LFRX/TX or the BasicRX/TX.
Is it possible that it holds for the SBX as well? If not, could you please suggest what might be wrong? As of now I have notbeen configuring the settings by using property node, because I don't know if it is obligatory with SBX board.
Thanks,
Filip

  • Who do contact about a specific Labview Driver (Stanford Research SR785)

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if this is the right place to go, but how would one find out more about a specific Labview driver if the manufacture doesn't provide support?
    In my case, I have a Labview 8 driver for a Stanford Research SRS785. The driver works great except for one thing, and I'm trying to make sure I'm using it correctly. When I contact Stanford Research, they inform me that they cannot provide support as they did not write the driver.
    How would I find out where the driver came from, where I can get more information, etc.?
    Just for your information, the driver works in every method except for one. If I want to use the "Upload Capture Buffer" (GPIB command is "CGET") it doesn't seem to work and I'm not sure why. No matter how many data points I've captured (In my case, 2 channels at 64,000 points each), when I call the "Upload Capture Buffer" VI, it returns 256,000 values of what appears to be random numbers, but exactly the same for both channels.  Sorry for giving too many details.
    All other driver functions appear to work just fine, as I've used it for other things.
    I'm just wondering, from any LV developers, how you would go about finding the author and asking questions about a driver such as this?
    Regards,
    Jeff

    I'm assuming you are talking about the driver that is available on NI's site? Then the author is someone at NI. At the download page, there is a 'Comments' link. The best forum for discussing drivers is the Instrument Control one. I'm not familiar with the instrument but if you wanted to try a little troubleshooting on your own, you might want to see what the programming manual has to say about the CGET command and what else may need to done prior to getting any valid data. The command being issued by the driver is CGET? channel#,mode and assuming that the channel number and mode are correct, the VI is returning something so it just may be a matter of doing some other inititialization to get valid data. A good way to debug instrument communication is with MAX. There you can experiment with the different commands and queries.
    Just to add a little more, Stanford Research may not provide any support for the driver but they should support the instrument and remote programming. If you say you issue the command CGET? 0,0 and get garbage data, they should be able to tell you why. You don't even need to mention LabVIEW. The commands are the same with whatever programming language you use.

  • RS232 Labview driver for SR830 lockin Amplifier

    Hi,
    I want to install Labview driver for Stanford Research SR830 lockin amplifier for RS232 port. NI has drivers for GPIB but I could not find any for RS 232 comm port.
    Please let me know how can I find driver for RS232 port.
    Regards,
    Nitin

    Dear Jason S,
    I also want to communicate with sr 830 with the RS232 interface. You said I had to rewrite the whole thing. What does that really mean? Rewrite the driver? If so, what language will it be?
    JasonS' wrote:
    Hello Nitshu-
    As you mentioned, this driver only supports GPIB, and not RS-232.  This driver was originally created in 1994, so it was not created using VISA.  This means that to convert this driver you would need to essentially rewrite the entire thing.  There are not currently any plans to update this driver to support RS-232, but you could easily communicate with it by adding a GPIB Interface to your system.
    Let us know if you have any specific questions we can help answer.

  • Where can i find a Labview driver for the "8990a PEAK POWER ANALYZER" it's not on NI's site.

    where can i find a Labview driver for the "8990a PEAK POWER ANALYZER" it's not on NI's site.
    if there is no driver maybe you can tell me the closest instrument that comes to this one from the list at,
    http://search.ni.com/query.html?lk=1&col=alldocs&nh=500&rf=3&ql=&pw=595&qp=%2BContentType%3AInstrumentDriver+%2BIDNetManufacturer%3A%22Hewlett-Packard%22&qt=peak+power+analyzer&layout=IDNet
    so i could modify and use the driver

    Hello,
    It looks like Agilent/HP makes the 8990A, but I was not able to find a driver for it that we or Agilent has written for this device.
    Since I am not familiar with the 8990A, I cannot recommend which drivers might be similar, but you are pointed in the right direction. Agilent themselves might know more about which models use similar command sets so that you can modify a driver easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there any LabVIEW driver for the Agilent 53147A counter/power meter?

    I am trying to find a LabVIEW driver for the Agilent 53147A counter/power meter, but I cannot find it. Is there any?

    NI does not have a driver and a quick check with Agilent shows that they don't have a driver either.
    You can go to http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/ and request a driver. You will also find links on how to create your own driver. Your other option is to use the Instrument I/O Assistant.
    p.s. In the future, you should use the Instrument control board for posting questions. this board is for NI counter/timer products.

  • Can Labview 7.0 control an instrument without the labview driver?

    hellow,i have an instrument which do not have the labview driver,its output signal is RS232,so can i use labview7.0 to read the signal? thanks!

    You sure can. There is a popular program to check on serial hardware, the loopback.vi. It sends out a signal and reads in a signal. You can modify the vi to send a signal to whatever you need to or receive a signal from whatever you want to. So if you just have an output signal to read in you can modify it to just read in that output signal into a graph or anything you'd like. So you could just get rid of "serial port write.vi" or that entire sequence if you wanted to. I hope that helps.

    Try this. The error was just because the functions are part of the LabVIEW distribution and had nothing to do with converting the driver.

  • Labview driver for agilent 8164A tunable laser

    I'm working on a project that involves setting up our Agilent 8164A lightwave measurement system in labview. I cannot locate the driver software on the NI website. Please let me know where I can download the driver for this equipment. Thanks.

    Actually we don't have a driver for that instrument in our website, so that means that we also don't have it in the CD. So you may want to check the Agilent's website, or as a matter of surprise, I found in our database one document that was talking about some past issue and it involved the 8166 instrument, so the author attached the driver for this instrument so we can reproduce what he found out, so I'm attaching this file here which is the file the previous Sr. mention, "hp816x", I installed it in my computer and run it and it is an Agilent made driver, so you can use this one or try to contact the Agilent people. Also you may request a LabVIEW driver been made for this instrument, please see the details at: O
    ther Driver's Resources from our download site.

  • Crossbow with Labview driver

    Hi,
    I'm using Crossbow wireless moduel with NI Labview 8.2. My system is,
    1. Laptop: Crossbow MIB 520 is connected by COM port (virtual COM port, actually it is connected by USB), and Crossbow MICAz is attached to receive signals. The received signals are processed with NI Labview driver from http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=1FB66B354ED149C7E0440003BA230E....
    2. Node #1: Corssbow MDA 320 is used for collecting signal from a pressure sensor, and Crossbow MICAz is attached for sending signals.
    I want to sample the pressure signals about 100Hz. So I made programs which are installed in MICAz for each node. I check the signals with XSniffer program which is provided Crossbow, it just shows the received signals. So I can see the 100Hz signal with it.
    Since the Baud rate for XSniffer is 115200, I changed the Baud rate in the NI Labview dirver which was 57600 to 115200. The Baud rate that I changed is in the zip file, Crossbow XMesh WSN\Private\WSN Connect to Gateway.vi. (Before I change the Baud rate, I could not see the signals in Labview.) However, Labview shows only about 10Hz signal.
    Because another program, XSniffer with same system shows 100Hz signal, but Labview dirver does not. So I guess that there might be limitation about accepting data in Labview driver. So my question is,
    Are there any sampling limitations for accepting data in NI Labview driver for Crossbow? If so, how can I fix it?
    Thanks,
    Joonbum Bae.
