Hp 70950a osa and 8163a multimeter

Hi, I am new to this forum, I seek for help to create a basic Labview program to communicate with an old HP70950A optical spectrum analyser, connected via GPIB to a Win98 computer where Labview 6 is installed. there are no driver available, but just the HP-BASIC manual. I would like to get, via normal READ-WRITE commands, the cursor peak amplitude and eventually the wavelength. Any additional command to control the instrument will be welcomed.
I will get this data as function of measured power from Agilent 8163A multimeter,, for which there are the drivers already.
Thanks
Antony
Solved!
Go to Solution.

10 CLEAR 723 Initialize analyzer.20 OUTPUT 723;"IP;SNGLS;TS;"
30 OUTPUT 723;"CENTERWL 1300NM;SPANWL 10NM;RL -5DBM;" Set measurement range.40 OUTPUT 723;"TS;" Sweep trace A.50 OUTPUT 723;"MKPK HI;" Mark highest signal level.60 OUTPUT 723;"MKWL?;" Return wavelength at marker.
This is an example of the code I want to implement in Labview. I am now able to execute line 10 to 50, using SEND commands to the single GPIB device. The problem is line 60
I can send MKWL? as a command, but how can I get the output? With MAX it works (also ID? command works) by pressing the QUERY button, but which function to use to make it in the Labview program? RECEIVE following the the SEND does not work. I tried playing with time, to see if it is a problem of communication, but it is not.
Thanks

Integration between OSA and ECM

Hi
How does the integration between OSA 5.00 and Enterprise Compensation Management works? Could you please explain in detail? it would be great helpful if you could explain it technically.
What information goes from OSA and in which table it get updated in ECM?
Thank you in advance

could any one provide me inputs on this issue?
Thank you in advance

How can I build an animated drag and drop multimeter lead using Flash?

I am building a virtual multimeter for testing simulated circuits. I would like to be able to drag an animated multimeter test lead to a point in the circuit and drop it on a target. The static drag and drop is not my issue. I would like some suggestions on how I can animate the movement of the lead itself. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

you want something to "follow the mouse" but not be dragged?
if yes, use a loop (enterframe) and ease the object's position to the mouse:
object.x+=speed*object.x+(1-speed)*mouseX;

"New" and "old" appraisals at the same time (OSA and Perf module)

Hi All,
We currently use the old Performance Appraisals system (APPCREATE, BA object), but we are planing to switch to the new one - Objective Setting and Appraisals module (HAP00 REPLA switch).
My questions are.
- After switching the appraisal system, old appraisals will be available at the same time, too?
- Are there any transaction to view the old appraisals (APPDISPLAY, or else?)
- On IT0025 we will see only the new appraisals, or all of them?
Do anyone have experiences on this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Márta

hi Marta,
i have started directly with osa in 2006 so i barely touched the old mbo appraisals in it25 (besides a migration project). Anyway I wouldn't be surprised if the transactions were well separated, which means that you could easily copy and make your own transaction for the old appraisals, for the technical users. For the business users i would suggest to write an implementation for the hrhap00link badi, where you print out in a smartform the last one or two "old" appraisals of the appraisee.
regards, ioan.

Synchronization of TDS 5104 and a multimeter

Hi all,
I am using a TDS 5104 DPO and a Keithley 2001 digital multimeter (DMM) to capture a pulse signal.
I use a GPIB bus trig command to initiate the DMM and a acquisition setting vi (tktds5k_SetAcquisitionState.vi)
provided by the Tek to start the measurement by the DPO. The record in DPO is lagged than that of
the DMM. Any suggestions to make the instruments to start at the same time?
Thanks a lot for your help!
sucon

Sucon,
It sounds like you are using the instrument driver for the TDS 5104 DPO. There is also a driver for the Keithley 2001 digital multimeter. You can find these LabVIEW drivers here. I would look through the example VI's that are included in these drivers to see if there is any way you can trigger the instruments at the same time. In the TDS 5104 driver there is a triggering folder found in tkds5000>>Configure>>Trigger, there might be something useful in here.
Also, there is an example VI called "Basic Level Triggering of Waveforms" that you can find in the NI Example Finder. To launch this go to Help>>Find Examples, then go to the search tab and type in "Triggering", this example should be one of the first ones that shows up. If you look at the block diagram of this VI there is a "Basic Level Trigger Detection.vi". Here is the description for this vi:
Finds the first level-crossing location in a waveform. You can retrieve the trigger location as an index or as a time. The trigger conditions are specified in terms of threshold level, slope, and hysteresis. You can use this polymorphic VI to perform trigger detection on a waveform or an array of waveforms. The data type you wire to the signal in input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
Please repost if you have more questions.

Portal integration with OFA,OSA, Discoverer and Express

Dear All,
Is it possible to integrate OFA,OSA, Discoverer and Express into portlet or is there any other mechanism to fulfill those requirements?
null

David,
All the tools you mention can be integrated into Oracle9iAS Portal as portlets usind the Portal Development Kit. Check out the Oracle Portal Development Kit (PDK) forum for more information on how to do this.
The Discoverer team is working on some Discoverer portlets that should be available with Oracle9iAS Release 2 due later this year. I am not sure about OFA, OSA and Express.

OSA Pushbutton trouble

Hi,
I'm new to OSA and I am using ERP 2005. We are using ESS/MSS to allow the users to use the appraisal template and the portal versioning is NW04S SPS7 support pack 10.
I have been creating custom pushbuttons to allow for the status flow that has been required by our client. When I get to the Status "In Review" with the substatus of "Employee Year End", the pushbutton I have selected to use does not show on the portal screen.
All previous pushbuttons I have created and used are working fine ... until I get to this point.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Previous permission is for In Review
Subsequent status is for In Process
In the template itself, I have it set for The Appraisee to use
Target Status is In Process with a substatus of Part Appraisal in Process.
I have the Part Appraiser columns setup.
Roles checked are Self, Manager and Higher Manager.

OSA Fails to Launch on Windows 2000

Installing an application that runs only with Oracle 9i. The Vendor has packaged the OSA and the Oracle CDs.
The OSA is suppose to launch, using JRE 1.4.2. And setups "Install Anywhere by Zero G"
It does not want to launch the GUI as the Local Admin Account or any account local to the machine...
HOWEVER
If we Remote Desktop to the Machine; then the OSA GUI will Launch...
Question 1: Why would the OSA launch as a User Via Remote Desktop? But not Launch on itself? or by VNC either for that Matter?
Question 2: The Vendor has lists of errors with creating its database via remote Desktop, but I was thinking I could install Oracle 9i using the OSA via Remote Desktop... any issues with this? Then I'd launch the App on the local machine that creates a database, etc....

What is OSA?
Who is the vendor?
What is the product?
9i is in desupport. You are installing something that is still-born. Why?
Generally speaking Oracle management requires a "real" access. The remote Desktop has many issues.
Seems to me you should throw this software back at the vendor and find something based on 10gR2 with a guarantee from the vendor that they will always support you with currently supported versions of the database. What you are describing is a nightmare scenario.

OSA-EHP4 -Free Enhancements

Hi All,
we have implemted OSA and LSO integration through Free enhancement - AH-ADD_COURSE_FROM_LSO. We have a requirement to customise this badi .
Can any one please let me know which badi will help us to modfiy the standard program logic.(how to find the technical name of the program)
Thanks
Kumar

Hi ,
We have identified the badi - HRHAP00_ENHANCE_FR11 , can we restrict some courses under the training catalog using this enhancement area.
Based on backend setting -under course type info- when the field NOESSX is checked we do not want this courses to be displayed on portal.
Please share your inputs on this.
Thanks

OSA : Hide row element depending of specific condition

Hello,
We are using the BSP OSA, and there is requirement to hide some of the criterion depending on the ee. subgroup and other business criteria. I am aware of the configuration for "Element Access" but it is tied to the roles of the participants. I am not aware of any BADI for this (there is one for column but not for row). I wonder if there are better ways to achieve this than to intervene via modifications to the BSP, HAP_DOCUMENT ? Any ideas, much appreciated. Thank you.
Regards
Kir Chern

Hi Kir Chern,
Yes exactly but I am looking at it the other way round. Instead of trying to restrict the element based on employee characteristics, why not limit the employee to view only particular elements based on characteristics. I hope I have not confused you, I have understood what you are trying to achieve, let me know if you want more details.
This would obviously involve hard coding of elements, which could have implications if you are going to create a new version of the template every year for instance.
Regards,
Priya.

OSA on the Web not showing descriptions

Hi All,.
We have web enabled OSA and when i click on New Report option ,the frontend is not showing the descriptions for

Any help is greatly appretiated.

This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

OSA .. Assign Appraisal Models to Personnel (Sub)Areas/Employee (Sub)Groups

Hi all,
I am using OSA and I am trying to assign appraisal templates to certain employees. The old "Assign Appraisal Models to Personnel (Sub)Areas/Employee (Sub)Groups" does not seem to work.. could I be doing something wrong? How does this functionality work in the new module of OSA . can anyone help me out?
Thank you

Hi Bisu ,
Could you so nice as to tell me how exactly can I do this?
Thank you so much for your quick reply!

[P67-GD65] OC CPU and voltage. After one year I still do not understand...

It is "provoked" by this fantastic post:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=157376.0
Quote from: Bernhard on 03-March-12, 19:06:19
My CPU is able to OC to 4,5 with all settings on Auto in the BIOS...
2500K running 4500MHz 1,367V on "Auto"? I can only dream about it and I am not talking about CPU but MB!
My 2500K is running 4500MHz with "int. overvoltage" option enabled but I have to chose:
1. set multi x45, CPU voltage to 1,340V, vdrop to auto - CPU-Z shows 1,384 running Prime - it`s ok IMHO, but no drop to low, idle voltage.
2. set multi x45, CPU voltage to auto, vdrop to Low - CPU-Z shows 1,424 running Prime -
or
3. set multi x42, CPU voltage to auto, vdrop to auto - CPU-Z shows 1,280 running Prime - it`s ok
I see from table that on 4100MHz Bernhard get (assuming "Auto") 1,352V! How? Maybe vdrop was set to "Low"(?) Heh... I get 1,408V with vdrop "Low" while running 4200MHz! It is the same as running auto OC Genie/Moron with button.
In other words... I do not know what is so special with Bernhard's settings to get 1,376V running 4500MHz on "Auto". I know that test was on Z68 and using multimeter but is it possible that voltage oc settings are so different (means broken) on P67-GD65 or maybe it is just a simple user error on my side(?)

Quote from: Jack on 07-April-12, 23:31:00
Yes, that is possible and that does definately not mean something is broken.
"Definately" is a rather strange word in my opinion. Please, do not get me wrong it is (again!) just my opinion.
Quote from: Bernhard on 08-April-12, 00:20:36
I understand your question and possible frustration...
Frustration? No, no, no! I am rather happy with my gaming rig I just want to know, understand more.
So... Could You tell me your Vdroop setting? It is very strange that on "Auto" I get 1,280V (4200MHz, Prime blend, its ok) and You get 1,352V (IMHO too much without vdroop option) on 4100MHz. This is huge difference. Is it just a CPU batch difference? Mind You, when I switch vdroop to "Low" (I have only "Auto" and "Low" here) CPU voltage reading goes to 1,408V (4200MHz, way too much voltage!) testing Prime.
BTW: Older P67-GD65 bioses have Auto, Low and High vdroop settings. AFAIR Low and High was the same. Am I wrong?

E1383A VXLink Kit + E1326B multimeter

This question is about HP hardware, but I think that it makes sense asking here since there maybe some NI software available as a solution.
I have an old system composed by an HP E1383A VXI ISA Card Interface (witch I have no drivers for them, and can't find anywhere, for any operating system) and an HP E1326B Multimeter on the same system that I can't have access to it.
I was able, however, to establish some sort of connection with bits and pieces of a program named EPConnect from Radisys (dated 1994) on Windows 98, but it seems that this program and drivers are for Windows 3.11 and I can't see the board any where on the device manager of Windows 98.
I also have found drivers for the multimeter board (HP E1326B) on:
http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/techSupport.jspx?pid=1000002431%3Aepsg%3Apro&pageMode=DS&cc=US&l...
but, if I can't get access to the ISA Board (HP E1383A), how can I have access to the multimeter functions?
Is there any way that I can resolve this problem? On any operating system? How can I have access to the ISA board and the multimeter?
As a last technical detail, I have found that I can communicate with the ISA board through:
ISA Card I/O: 0x4230
VXI Module Port Address Base: 0x8230
IRQ = 10
Using the Radisys software (I can see that the board is really there).
Any help would be very appreciated, and thank you in advance for reading,
Eng. Marco Ferra

Hello Marco,
This is a big one!
Well, what can be done on our side is to provide you with a PCI-VXI or USB-VXI solution because ISA isn't on our catalog no more. This would allow you to control your VXI easily. I wish I could help you more, but there's no solution for your system. It is too hold!
By the way, thanks for posting here your questions (even on non-NI products )
You can call us and ask for direct assistance or advises if you wants to go forward.
Best regards,

Can I share Attributes/Variables between 2 different Class Driver Sessions?

I am designing a Simulator of Instrumentation following these steps:
1) re-programming, re-compiling, and re-building the DLLs from the advanced class simulation drivers included in IVI Driver Toolset 2.0 using LabWindows/CVI 7.0;
2) then i create a VI in LabVIEW 7.0 which calls an IVI Class Driver obtaining the desired simulated output data.
My problem is that I need to share variables between different DLLs in LabVIEW.
I want to simulate a circuit which consists of a battery and a resistor. I've got 2 instruments: a DC Power Supply and a Digital Multimeter.
The DC Power Supply acts as the battery providing a certain voltage level, and the Multimeter measures the Voltage and the Current in the resistor.
I've designed a VI in LabVIEW which uses 2 different sessions: one which calls the class driver IviDCPwr, and the other one which calls IviDmm.
I wish to be able to access the attributes from "nisDCPwr.c" in the file "nisDmm.c".
For example, to write a line like this:
Ivi_GetAttributeViReal64 (ViSession vi, ViConstString channelName, NISDCPWR_ATTR_MEASUREMENT_BASEV, 0, &reading));
inside the source code "nisDmm.c" of the advanced class simulation driver.
The problem is that the only ViSession accessible from nisDmm is the handle from the Digital Multimeter, but not from DC Power Supply.
Would this be possible? Is it "legal"?
I've tried another approach through the declaration of external variables, but unfortunately I get a run-time error in LabVIEW.
The only solution I've found is using auxiliary files going between, through the functions included in the Low Level I/O Library .
Nevertheless, the solution proposed above would result much more convenient, faster and safer in my application.
I hope everyone has understood my question, and anyone can help.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME!!!

Doesn't anyone have an answer?
Or any proposal?
Or even a clue?
THANKS!
