Hp driver for labview for hp8156a attenuator

I am looking for a hp8156a driver for labview. There is not one posted in the driver section of this site. Thanks

Here is a link to the programming manual. Section 8 shows the commands. It will take some work, but you can write your own drivers.

  • Has anyone ever written a driver for LabVIEW for Omega CN9500 process contollers w/Modbus protocol over RS485?

    Omega has a protocol manual to facilitate this on their web site

    Jay,
    Most folks use an OPC Server, such as Lookout Protocol Drivers (sold under package "IA OPC Servers") to communicate with devices using the Modbus protocol from LabVIEW. The KnowledgeBase below describes this method in detail.
    Drivers for Communicating to PLCs, RTUs, and Other Industrial Hardware"
    As for direct Modbus protocol VIs for LabVIEW - I have never personally used them, but I have seen many Developer Exchange posts in the past where folks have used and recommended them. Simply search this developer exchange for "modbus AND labview" and numberous discussion threads on this topic will be returned.

  • Trial Version for LabVIEW for Mac

    I got shinny new MacBook Pro for Christmas and am itching to try out LabVIEW for Mac.  Is there a trial version available?  I still have to develop for Windows (got VMWare Fusion for that), but I'm still curious how the Mac version behaves.

  • Arial font substitution for (LabVIEW for) Linux

    Hello,
    as LabVIEW was not capable of keeping the font size and spacing constant when running a VI under different Windows versions, screen resolutions etc, I have never used the "application", "system" and "dialog" font options in LabVIEW but have fixed all fonts to Arial 14 pt. This worked wonderful on all Windows systems - without that unnerving problem that control lables overwrite each other and things like that (what always happened when using LabVIEWs "application" font option).
    Now, when running the same VIs under LabVIEW for Linux, the font looks terrible, as there is no Arial font in Linux. Does somebody know an easy way to solve this problem without setting all fonts to "application font" in LabVIEW? For instance, any "ini file type" setting in Linux telling the operating system which font to use when Arial is not present, or any free font substitution that we could add to our installer routine that the operating system would use automatically instead of Arial?
    Best regards,

    Unfortunately, your problem is a version of a generic problem faced by GUI programmers of all types - how do you handle varying system fonts?  There are various solutions, based on who your customers are.  You are using one of the easy ones that works well until you start doing cross-platform development.  The main options are, in order or increasing complexity:
    Lock the font to a specific font and size.  This works well if your customers are limited to a single platform and are not visually impaired (do not want to use large fonts).
    Use system fonts and allow extra space.  This is a compromise that only works in most cases.  Use about 50% extra for small strings and 10% - 20% for larger strings.  This also gives you extra space for localization, should you need it.  Visually impaired customers will run into space issues, because large fonts can be 2X or more larger than the default, system fonts.  Note that the different Windows variants have different font sizes as well.  Windows Vista increased default font sizes, especially for some Asian languages, such as Japanese.
    Query the font size on entry into a GUI VI and rescale everything appropriately.  This is hard, since it must be done for every VI with a GUI.  Some system dialogs do not handle large fonts well, so you will probably end up replacing them with your own versions to get good appearance.  You could probably write a system to handle this sort of scaling, but to my knowledge, no one has (please prove me wrong ).  I have always used custom code when needed.
    No one really does this well.  Change your system font on a Windows OS to large fonts and note all the problems you run into.  I would recommend option 2, unless you have a lot of extra time.  Your customers will love you if you pull off option 3.
    More tips to help.
    Do your development on the platform with the largest system fonts.  If this is not possible, change the LabVIEW system fonts of your development system to match the largest size you support.  I usually develop using 13pt Verdana, since it is one of the largest of the variable spaced fonts.
    Check your work by using large fonts in Windows.  If it looks good there, it will probably be OK for most uses.
    Good luck!

  • Driver for Labview for ATE-100 pressure calibrator from Ashcroft Inc

    Guys,
    I need a subVI to communicate a pressure calibrator model ATE-100 from
    Ashcroft (http://www.ashcroft.com/products.cfm?doc_id=348) with a
    Labview application. The equipment has been originally shipped with and
    old exe file supposed to do the job, nut I could not manage to make it
    run. So I was searching for a way to exchange data it reads with the
    Labview application I am writing. It seems to be standard RS-232
    protocol.
    Can anyone help or give me some hints?
    Thnaks a lot,
    Pixinguinha

    The NI Instrument Driver Network doesn't have an instrument driver for this unit, so it looks like you're going to have to write your own drivers. You will, of course, need the programming manual from the manufacturer. This isn't all that difficult as there are tons of examples. You can just pull down, say, an instrument driver for a multimeter with a serial interface to see how it's done. To just try out serial communication you can use the "Basic Serial Write and Read" available in the LabVIEW examples. From the LabVIEW menu select Help->Find Examples. Change to the "Search" tab and enter "serial" in the search box. You'll get several examples.

  • Is there an existing balance and vibration monitor program for LabView for rotating machinery?

    I want to test generators for ballance and vibration, and shaft critical frequency. The data is to be collected automatically and reports generated preferably with LabView. Can I buy a written program as a starting point? I know of the Sound and Vibration Toolkit, and am willing to buy it, but still prefer to start with a verified package. Currently we are using a Bently-Nevada standalone system that is limited in its capability. We are installing a new data collection system so have a lot of flexability.

    Good Morning,
    Yes, we can put together a written program for collecting balance and vibration data for generators. There is a new tool to be announced April 30th, that goes beyond the sound and vibration toolset for machinery monitoring. We can use LabVIEW and our Dynamic Signal Acquisition hardware to capture accelerometer data, encoder/keyphasor data, and other rotational parameters. We can provide an off-line analysis set of software as well, or report the data to any existing Computer Machine Maintenance Software (CMMS) you need us to work with.
    I'd be happy to discuss this with you further.

  • Where can I find GPIB drive for Stanford SR830 lockin amplifier for labview 6?

    Hi I am trying to work with the lockin amplifier (Model: Stanford Research SR830). Unfortunately, my computer only has labview 6 installed. Could you please let me know where I can download a SR830 driver of GPIB version for labview 6? I have checked the NI website. Only drivers for LabVIEW 8.0 and up are available here. http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=240C113D3165071BE0440003BA7CCD...
    Please let me know. If any one could upload one, that would be so great. Thank you.

    Hi Wayne,
    I am assuming you obtained the drivers from ni.com/drivers webpage? You can ask someone to convert it for you on the version conversion board and you should be good to go. If you create a new thread there please post the link to it over here so we can continue assisting you. Thank you and good luck!

    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,

  • 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.
