HP 6629A Driver for Labview 2009 may have a bug?

6629A config output.vi that came with the driver may have a bug.  I am pretty new to labview so maybe I am incorrect, but the current range boolean was not wired to the T/F select block with the current limits for the instrument in high current and low current mode.  Instead the voltage range boolean was wired to that block.  Maybe I don't understand the operation of the instrument fully, but this seems like a mistake to me.  Any comments/help would be appreciated.

Well, I already kind of fixed my version of it.  I will post that for now.  If you want I can post the original version of the vi that came with it when I downloaded the drivers.  The vi in question is called '6629A Config Output.vi'
This is a link to the operating manual for the instrument:

I hope that is what you needed.
Thanks for looking into this.

  • Xantrex HPD driver for LabVIEW 2009

    I've seen there are other NI products that have drivers for the Xantrex HPD power supplies.
    Does anyone have one that works for LabVIEW 2009 (or earlier)?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK.  Got it.
    Hyperterminal worked.
    It verified that port settings and command syntax was correct.
    ALL the programs in the LabVIEW examples don't get the CR function to the power supply.  When I hard coded the CR function following the command (also hard coded) it worked.  Xantrex (now Sorensen) manuals include NO simple examples - one just has to know from experience (catch 22) how to do it.
    Of note also is that one must send a both voltage and current setting commands as both are zero by default.  (If you send only one, nothing APPEARS to happen because the other is set to 0.)  That also could have been included in a beginning example.

    THANKS for your help!

  • HP 54501A - Instrument Driver for LabView v.7 or v.8

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for HP 54501A - Instrument Driver for LabView v.7 or v.8. I have NI gpib/usb controller installed, but cannot control the scope via Labveiw.
    The link I found at NI web site within drivers section seems to be broken so I couldn't download it!
    Please, anyone, suggest/help!

    The link you were given works for me. You can try it again. The given link brings you to a page where the CVI and LabVIEW drivers are listed. the direct link to the LabVIW driver is http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9455659CE034080020E748... .

    Reidl,
    Thank you for your answer.  How do I uninstall my current version?  I have looked in "Add or Remove Programs," but I don't see anything under "Xilinx" or "Spartan."  I do see an entry for "National Instruments Software."  However, when I click "Change / Remove" I don't see any entries for the Spartan Board.
    I tried running the installation program, and I received the following message:
    The NI LabVIEW FPGA Support for Spartan-3E 1.1.0 installation has failed with the following error.
    You have a higher version of NI LabVIEW FPGA Support for Spartan-3E in your system.  You must uninstall it before installing this again.
    What is the latest version number?  How do I check what version I currently have?
    Thanks,

  • Aeroflex 2975 driver for LabVIEW 8.0

    Is there a way to convert the Aeroflex IFR 2975 driver for LabVIEW CVI for use in LabVIEW 8.0?  OR, is there a driver already developed for this? 

    Frank,
     I am using the LV 7.1.1 version of this CVI driver in an application I wrote. We should be able to recompile this for 8.0. Basically as I explained with no handshaking the instrument falls out of sync with the controlling computer. Basically the only GPIB command that is supported in that driver is *IDN?. So what I have done is after other  calls I use this command and compare the return string to see if it is what I expected. If not I use a popup telling the operator that a GPIB error occurred and to reboot the IFR to clear the bus. I also have instructed the operator to run NI Spy in the background...this seems to cut down the occurance of these errors. Another way to clear the bus that is faster and usually works is to stop the application, and read the bus using MAX until you see a timeout when there is no more data available( usually twice). Then rerun the application. Depending on the application this might be a work around though not an elegant one.
     Since the driver was converted from a CVI driver it uses the call library function node. This does not allow us to control the timing between the Write functions and Read functions. If you are doing something that is relatively simple you could use the TCL command set and VISA to write a driver. Just put a wait function between the Write and Read function and experiment with the timing until it looks like it won't fail. I've considered doing this myself but have been hoping that they will actually make the instrument 488.2 compliant. I am assuming that the actual error is that the data buffer is being read by the controller before the instrument is finished writing to it. The other scenario is that the data buffer might not actually be getting flushed every time it is read. I'm hoping my first assumption is correct or they have even more problems with the instrument.
     In January of '05' they actually enabled the following commands *SRE xx, *SRE? and *STB?. I recently wrote a simple vi to see what happens to the Status Byte after using IDN? command and reading the data buffer. The MAV bit begins logic low, then goes hi when the data is available. After reading the data (i.e. "IFR Systems, 2975.....) I again query the Status Byte. The MAV bit is still in a logic hi state. I sent screenshots of the front panel and block diagram as well as the .spy files to them. All was heavily notated and they said they were going to look at it. If anyone is interested in this I can post this code as well.

  • Looking for HP 5371A driver for Labview 6.1?

    want to communicate with HP5371A by PC over GPIB port

    I think that device is too old for finding a driver for labview. If you have all the GPIB command, it's easy to program. I made it for another type of instrument.

  • Quanser DC Motor Control Trainer missing VI's for labview 2009

    Hi my name is phillip, a student developer working with labview 2009 and the Quanser DC Motor Control trainer with ELVIS II. I have failed to run the VI for speed control, it appears to be broken and says four sub-vi's are missing and they are "Intergrator.VI," "Integrator (DBL).VI," "Transfer Function.VI," "and "Transfer Function (DBL).VI.". I happen to have installed the control design and simulation toolkit but this has not solved the problem. Please help!!!!

    Hi Phillk, I have the exact same problem with the missing VIs for the Quanser DC motor control with the NIELVIS also for Labview 2009.
    Can you please tell me where I can find these VIs? Can you send them to me if it is possible?
    I would really appreciate it, 
    I need the Transfer Function.vi,  Transfer Function (DBL).vi and the integrators too.
    Thank you,

  • Is there compatible motion driver for LabVIEW 8.6?

    Is there compatible motion driver for LabVIEW 8.6? The latest motion driver seems to be 7.6 and it only support up to LabVIEW 8.5...

    If you buy LabVIEW 8.6, you will also get 2008 August Driver CD.
    NI-Motion 7.7 driver should be included in it.
    Or you can wait for a while.
    I guess NI will put on Web these days.

  • Need a HP3421A native driver for labview 5.1

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a native HP3421A driver for labview 5.1. Of course I searched in the "Instrument Driver Network" but I foundd only drivers for labview 6.0 and 7.0 or greater.
    According to this document: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/321691a.pdf#search=%22labview%204.x%20hp3421a%22 there is a such driver for labview 4.x.
    Any idea where I could find this driver for labview 5.1 ? A haven't any "Instrument Driver Library CD-ROM".

    hi there
    the driver he is searching for can be found here (LV 7.0): https://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E969E659CE034080020E74...
    the driver uses the old school GBIP functions, so it should be possible to downgrade it down to LV 5.1. do downgrade open the "HP 3421A Example.vi" and choose
    File->Save with options->Save for previous. 
    since you only can downgrade to the next prior version of LV you need a ladder of LV versions, but i'm sure that if you ask here you'll find someone who can do this for you.

  • Intersense Inertiacube, IC3, ITrax2, InterTrax2 -- third party driver for Labview

    Hi,
    I've been attempting to use the third party driver located at:
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=1540162FC7953043E0440003BA7CCD...
    to communicate with an Intersense Inertiacube via Labview 8.2.  It does work, but it causes sporadic Labview crashes as well.  Typically Labview will crash in one of the following scenarios (in order of frequency):
    - upon editing any VI after running and successfully stopping the Intersense communicating VI
    - upon stopping the Intersense communicating VI (not the halt button, but a healthy stop)
    - upon starting the Intersense communicating VI (very rare, and typically only after several successful starts/stops of the VI)
    My hunch is that this is a memory management issue related to the third party DLL wrapper (isense_dll_wrapper.dll).  Does anyone have any experience with this?  Anyone know the history of who wrote the wrapper?  Is the source code available?  Is there a way of having the DLL open/run in its own memory space, separate from Labview's memory space? 
    Is there a way of having the VI run in a separate memory space from the rest of Labview (so at least if it does crash it won't take all of Labview with it)?
    Thanks for your time,
    ~ Jay

    If anyone knows how to contact Sacha Emery, ATE Systems Engineer @ NI, he may have more information regarding this.  (He may even have the DLL wrapper source code.)  His name is in the ITrax2 Readme.txt file as the creator.

  • HP34972A Ethernet Driver for LabView 8.0

    Hi,
     I'm trying to use our new HP34972A meter with LV 8.0. I can only find drivers for HP34970A for LV 8.2 and higher that support the ethernet port. Do you have or can you make drivers for LV 8.0 that support the ethernet port on this meter? (I did find the serial port driver but would prefer not to use that interface).
    Thank you.

    Hi fireman_bob1,
    As you said, there is not an available driver utilizing Ethernet and LabVIEW 8.0 for the HP34972A. However, I recommend going to the Version Conversion Forum to see if the NI forum community may be willing to back-convert the components of the driver you have LabVIEW 8.2, to LabVIEW 8.0. Most of the driver components should be very similar, so this may allow everything to work with LabVIEW 8.0. Unfortunately, if it does not work, you may have to use the serial port driver.

  • New bootable drives for pre-2009 Mini's ???

    I'm trying to keep an old G4 mini running with 10.4.11 such as  to maintain access to Classic mode (old files and apps).
    I've been booting this (and other 'classic' Mini's) from external Firewire 400 mirrored RAID sets 'since forever' with NO issues at all (great speeds vs 2.5" internal HD)
    Recently I had one slice (drive) of this RAID set go bad.  Figuring that the other one wouldn't be far behind, I order 2 new external FW800 drives ("Ministack Classic"). (after having questioned the compatibility of FW 400 with 800 and specifying to the vendor that these were intended as boot drives for a G4 Mini and then being convinced there would be no problem).
    Only to discover (through a LONG confounding process with vendor's tech support) that the chip sets used in todays external drives will NOT boot a pre-2009 Mac Mini (neither a PPC or Intel)
    These drives DO mount, RAID is online, reads and writes, CCC indicates its bootable,  and the System recognizes it as a bootable device BUT  It will not /can not boot.
    Other (older) FW400 RAID sets do boot the machine flawlessly but not any available replacement drives I can locate.
    Neither OWC, CDW or MacMall (et al) have any drives with boot chips sets compatible with older (pre-2009) Mini's - ***?
    NOW WHAT ??? 

    1) over the years I've asked dozens of questions on this forum.  I've NEVER gotten a straight answer to any inquiry.  Just obfuscation - mostly well-intentioned, some creative - yet irrelevant.
    2) to the current issue.  Turns out that external firewire drives with either  Oxford 934 or 936 chip sets WILL still boot pre-2009 Macs, including G4's (i.e, MacMini 10,1)  running 10.3 or above
    3) Some Oxford 940-series chip sets may also still be bootable on pre-2009 Macs (only)  IF the enclosure has a switch inside that turns of support for drives in excess of 2.2 TB (and the drive itself is less than 2.2 TB)
    4) These drives ARE still available - at least from OWC  (More than one of their techs was misinformed and I'm now assured by a senior tech that the above information is correct.  If this is not correct, blame them.  I'm just repeating what I was just told and only  trying to help clarify what the situation is currently.
