Gpib commands for hp plotter 7470a needed?

Where can i find the gpib commands or the manual for the hp plotter 7470a?

I just did a search of HP's and Agilent's web sites. Not much there for the 7470. You may have to contact HP directly. I have worked with some of the old pen plotters, they are pretty simple for the most part. Commands include PENUP, PENDOWN, PEN #, MOVETO, etc. All of the old plotters that I've worked with had the same style of commands.
If you can't get something, let me know ([email protected]) and I'll see if I can dig up the manual for the one old plotter that we have here.

  • GPIB command for acquire simultaneous 2 scope channels?

    I am a new GPIB programmer, and I want to acquire 2 signals simultaneous from a HP54111D oscilloscope (HP) via a gpib bus.
    I can acquire a channel and after the other. do you
    know the gpib command to acquire 2 channels simultaneous and transfer data ?

    Hello,
    If you uses LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI IDEs the best way to control your instrument is to use the instrument drivers provided on our site:
    http://search.ni.com/query.html?lk=1&col=alldocs&nh=500&rf=3&ql=&pw=595&qp=%2BContentType%3AInstrumentDriver&qt=HP+54111&layout=IDNet
    If for some reason you must use GPIB commands the best for you is to request from HP the set of commands for your scope.
    I assume that you have some commands for configuration of your scope then you can enable ch1 and ch 2. then when you acquire data your scope will probablely fill a memory buffer (record) with your signals data. so i think that there is only one function for one channel and two channel. When using two channel tha data will probably be interleaved in your record i
    .e (ch1[0],ch2[0],...ch1[n],ch2[n]) .
    Hopes this helps

  • Cannot read instrument errors for Ando AQ6317B using GPIB commands.

    Maybe related to reading the status byte using GPIB commands for the AQ6317B OSA: how can I read the instrument errors, if one or more occur? Several instruments return their instrument errors in the format <errorCode>, <"error message"> as a response to the command "YST:ERR?" or similar. Not the AQ6317B optical spectrum analyzer.
    Can anyone help me with this one?
    Thanks in advance,
    Cristian

    Yes, I did this using NI MAX also and using NI IO Trace (former NISpy). Many instruments accept "SYST:ERR?" as a query to return any INSTRUMENT ERROR (hardware or firmware).
    Well, I guess my ANDO does not. it responds with an empty string, or whatever it has in its buffer from the previous query.
    In any case, be it as it may, I will close this issue (still in limbo for me), and just ignore instrument errors for the time being.
    Thank you for your answers, though.

  • Need example vi using AT commands for dialing the modem at the remote end

    Can any one give example vi for dialing up a modem and sending data to remote end

    Hi sindhu6,
    Presuming that you are connected to your modem via a serial connection:
    I did find a forum related to your enquiry: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/AT-commands-in-labview/td-p/1213335
    And I did find an example from ni.com: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2577
    Basically, what you need to do is to find out what are the AT commands used for your modem and send the command over using VISA related functions (e.g. VISA Read VI). You can send the command in a sequantial method. You can do this by using the method found in the first link. The best would be that you can create a state machine where by each case/state will consists of commands that you need to run in a sequence (let's say a sequence of AT commands for sending a message via TCP/IP communication).
    You can also use a sequence structure but I would not suggest that since you cannot stop the sequence half way and if your command is very long, this may look pretty messy for your code.
    The main question is:
    What is the version of your LabVIEW?
    What is the modem that you are using and how is your hardware setup is going to be (e.g. how did you communicate with your modem)? 
    Thank you
    Warmest regards,

  • Need documentation for writing GPIB drivers for RTOS-32 using Borland C 5.51

    Greetings,
    I need to develop GPIB drivers (using the NI GPIB card) for the RTOS-32 operating system (by On-Time). I am using Borland C 5.51 as the compiler. I am looking for info/examples on writing/porting low level drivers for the GPIB. The examples I have found come with the low levels drivers in an object file which you link in, but nothing on how to write the low level drivers.
    Any pointers on what documentation/examples that I should look at would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time,

  • Gnome 3 - command for shutdown dialog (need for keyboard shortcut)

    I'd like to create a keyboard shortcut for shutdown dialog; it's the dialog that appears when press your username (top-right corner) and then select "Shut down..." option. There was "gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog" or something similar in Gnome 2 (or so it seems by reading forum posts), but the same command doesn't exist in Gnome 3.
    I'm not rebooting or shutting down my OS a lot, but when I do, I'm automatically trying to press some keyboard shortcut.

    I started digging around more and found this option in System Settings/Power: "When the power button is pressed: Ask me". But, it doesn't work for me, because OS doesn't detect power button on my thinkpad. So it seems that I have to install acpid, but I still need to know the command for Gnome's shutdown dialog.
    EDIT:

  • Need CLI commands for WPA2 Personal Mode

    I've seen this example, but I need the CLI the gui generates. Can anyone help out please?

    Configure in Personal Mode
    The term personal mode refers to products that are       tested to be interoperable in the PSK-only mode of operation for       authentication. This mode requires manual configuration of a PSK on the AP and       clients. PSK authenticates users via a password, or identification code, on       both the client station and the AP. No authentication server is necessary. A       client can gain access to the network only if the client password matches the       AP password. The password also provides the keying material that TKIP or AES       uses to generate an encryption key for the encryption of the data packets.       Personal mode is targeted to SOHO environments and is not considered secure for       enterprise environments. This section provides the configuration that you need       to implement WPA 2 in the personal mode of operation.

  • Is thier a command for looping. somthing like sym.loop("") or EC.Sound.loop(""). I mainly need this

    is thier a command for looping. somthing like sym.loop("") or EC.Sound.loop(""). I mainly need this for two work for looping a sound file.
    Thanks.

    Hey, sabermaster-
    Not at the moment, though you can create your own loop effects by using triggers on the timeline.  What specific functionality are you looking for?

  • Need a power shell command for Front End fail over?

    We have a Lync 2013 infrastructure with 2 front ends and 2 edges. 
    The environment was setup by a partner and the servers were configured for failover in case one goes down in the pool. 
    However the last time windows updates were applied and the primary FE had to be restarted, the secondary FE did not automatically switch over as the active server and it caused a companywide outage. 
    In speaking with the contractor, they said that well no it would not automatically do this, you need to run a Lync PowerShell to have it switch over. 
    My BS radar went off, but I wanted to ask you if this sounds right or is possible. 
    If it must be done, could you give me the power shell command.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Did you solve the issue with the help of the people above provided?
    If you use a Lync server Enterprise edition, it is recommended to deploy at least three FE servers.
    If you use two Lync server Standard edition for DR,
    when one of the servers fails in the Pool Pair, the administrator need to manually failover the pool to the other member of the Pool Pair using the
    command: Invoke-CsPoolFailover -PoolFQDN <Pool1 FQDN> -DisasterMode -Verbose
    The Automatic failover and failback for
    Voice option and the associated time intervals in Topology Builder apply only to the voice resiliency features that were introduced in Lync Server 2010. Selecting this option does not imply that the pool failover discussed in this document is automatic.
    Pool failover and failback always require an administrator to manually invoke the failover and failback.
    You can refer to the link below about how to failover a pool:

    Does it help, yes and no.  FYI, we are running Enterprise Edition front ends for our single pool.  The new environment was setup as a proof of concept and we installed the bare minimum # of servers at the time.
    The articles suggested from above pretty much just say if one of your FE's goes down, bring it back up as soon as possible.  Both of our FE's need windows updates applied ASAP and it could an hour or more (likely).  Here is a quote from the article:
    If for some reason you need to bring both servers down at the same time, do the following when the downtime for the pool is finished:
    The best practice is to restart both Front End Servers at the same time.
    If the two servers cannot be restarted at the same time, you should bring them back up in the reverse order of the order they went down.
    If you cannot bring them back up in that order, then use the following cmdlet before bringing the pool back up:
    Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState -ResetType QuorumLossRecovery -PoolFQDN <FQDN>
    The last time the main FE went down for service, we left the secondary FE on but there was still an outage.  Then brought back the formerly active FE fist and service was restored.  Basically I need to know how to switch the passive to the active
    node before/while the primary is offline.  And if required once both FE's are back up, to switch the service from the secondary that became active, back to the primary server as it was before.  Make sense?  Perhaps I'm still missing something
    after reading the articles.  The powershell commands list just updating the topology after both servers come back online.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    on Keithley's website is explained :
    "The Model 263 offers a more economical, more precise alternative to the Model 6430 or the Model 236 when used as a low-current source. It is used almost exclusively as a current calibrator."
    This leads to Model 236.... A LabVIEW-driver is available @: http://search.ni.com/query.html?lk=1&col=alldocs&nh=500&rf=3&ql=&pw=595&qp=%2BContentType%3AInstrumentDriver+%2BIDNetManufacturer%3A%22Keithley%22&qt=&layout=IDNet

  • Labview GPIB Tutorial for sending commands to gen purpose equipment

    Hi
    I am reading an old NI GPIB "in-depth course" (in dos). It seems quite easy to send and receive GPIB command. Is there a GPIB tutorial for labview that will show me how to set up a piece of equipment and send/receive commands?
    Wayne

    Yes. If you have LabVIEW 6 or later, look in the LabVIEW Measurements Manual (a printed manual in your LabVIEW box, as well as a PDF installed with LabVIEW).
    First of all, there are two ways to program GPIB. You can use the Traditional GPIB VIs, or you can use VISA. Both APIs are simple, but you probably want to use VISA. VISA works over GPIB, USB, Ethernet, Serial, etc., so learning it will apply to future projects, too.
    In the 6.x version of the Measurements Manual, read chapter 20. In the 7.x version, read chapter 16. In either case, we have examples of using VISA to communicate with instruments.
    This will give you a brief introduction to VISA. If you want to learn more, there are more advanced tutorials available on NI's web site, such as
    href="http://www.ni.com/swf/presentation/us/instcontrol/">this one.
    I hope this helps.

  • I need to find the keyboard command for "PrintScreen"

    I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.
    Processor 2.4 GHz intel core 2 Duo.
    I'm just looking for the keyboard command for the "PrintScreen" function.
    Any help?

    Thanks, Niel,
    The only way that I could print all the columns on the page was to use the printscreen function. Regular printing cut off a crucial portion of the information.
    If you know of any way to bring the print screen to full size - mine would only print in a compressed version - I'd love to know that as well.
    Your answer, however, was very helpful.

  • Gpib commands

    i need the gpib commands to do, to display on my pc, to ask a frequency and display, what i see with a spectral analyser. i use matlab. i need help as soon as possible.
    thanks.

    hi tzviel
    thanks again tzviel.
    today, i had my real work. i send you.
    The main task at this moment is to create a matlab program that:
    1) Starts the communication with the FSP Spectrum Analyzer
    2) Allows obtain the value of the field value given by the FSP (for a single
    specified frequency) when sending a trigger impulse to the FSP.
    3) Allows obtain the values given by the FSP (for a single specified
    frequency) when sending a periodic trigger impulses to the FSP.
    3) Allows continuing recording to a ascii file of the field given by the FSP
    over some period of time (for a single specified frequency)
    indeed, i'm not a programmer. i say you what i will do tomorrow in order to do what it is asked.
    so
    first, i linked the pc and the sepctrum analyser
    after i write a program:
    => g=gpib('ni',0,1);
    g.inputbuffersize=50000;
    g.timeout=120;
    fopen(g); -> start the comunication
    TRIG1YNC:AD -> select the trigger source
    TRIG1OUR EXT -> the next measurement is triggered by the signal at the external trigger input
    while.... -> for the periodic trigger impulses
    do TRIG1:HOLD 500ms
    end while
    fclose(g);
    delete(g);
    clear g
    can you say me if my program coul be right or wrong. and what will you do?
    thanks a lot tzviel
    and, i don't knof if it's possible to change email here, because, i would like to work at least two times a day. so if it's possible say me.
    i wait an answer from you
    bye
