Instrument Driver for Advantest R6243/6244

Has anyone developed the instrument driver for Advantest R6243/6244 and willing to share the driver? Thanks!

Hi Rebecca,
There are several drivers for other Advantest products in NI's Instrument Driver Network, however I didn't find any driver that specifically matched the R6243/6244 voltage/current generator, and I didn't find anything on Advantest's site that could point me to a quick solution for you. Unless another user has developed a driver that they could give you the code for, it looks like your best bet from this point is going to be to request a driver, if you haven't already. You can do this by going to the Instrument Driver Network, and following the link to "Request Drivers". Hopefully this helps you on your way. Good luck!

Looking for Keyence Instrument driver for LV.

Looking for instrument driver for LV developed for the Keyence LS-7500 series micrometer. Has anything seen any or done this already? Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW I have already checked NI's listing of instrument drivers to no success.

Hello-
There are no drivers listed for this instrument at http://ni.com/idnet. You may want to contact Programmed Test Sources to see if they have a LabVIEW driver for their instrument. If they don't, you can easily create a low-level driver by configuring an I/O assistant VI for each function in the manual. Once you have this low level driver you can just combine functions to make higher level VIs. Alternatively, you can hire an Alliance Member to write an driver for you.

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... .

Manfred,
You could look for a driver for another Keithly model or try one for a
different brand. They may be similar enough to modify easily. I realize this
goes against the idea of SCPI and standards but it is the best we have now.
Good Luck

Instrument driver for Agilent E5061A network analyzer

Is there a instrument driver for the Agilent E5061A network analyzer ? I couldn't find one neither on NIs Instrument Driver Network nor on Agilents site.
We are using Labwindows/CVI as development system.

Yes we are talking about the same driver, but i dont know why hp871x.c file was removed. However, hp871x.h and hp871x.fp are included.
Anyhow, look this comment into hp871x.cpp file:
In addition, if WIN32 is defined, _CVI_ may also be defined to indicate that the program is being compiled under LabWindows CVI.....
I guess it is not so hard to modify this source code (from hp871x.cpp to hp871x.c). Sorry for disturb you!!!

Need an instrument driver for Stahl product

Hi guys!
I need an instrument driver for the coil temperature measurement device ER-230.01B (company Stahl)!
Does anybody of you have this driver?
I have already searched in the NI Driver list and couldn't find it.
Thx,
Nobby

Hi Nobby_83,
Unfortunately we don’t have the driver for your Stahl device. You have to contact Stahl to know if they have the driver.

Looking for instrument driver for HP3561A (Using LabView6.1)

Hello,
Is there anyone out there has the instrument driver for HP3561A. I know there is one available in the ni.com/idnet however, that one runs only on a higher version. Can someone tell me is there any other options?
Regards,

Look again. There are 6.0 and 7.0 versions available for download.

Need an Instrument Drive for Elmo motion control products.

Hello,
I am going to use a Bassoon servo drive from Elmo Motion Control to control a voice coil. I haven't found an Instrument Driver for Elmo through my LavVIEW program or on their website. Does an Instrument Drive for Elmo products exist?
Thank You!

Hello JMJ,
Here are my answers to your questions:
1. Is it possible for me to communicate with the Basic Serial Read
and Write example and not develop an Instrument Drive? I see that the
write VISA VI takes a string and converts it and sends it to the
control card and the read VI receives a signal and converts it. Is the
conversion converting from the Elmo language to the ASCII code? If I
don't write an Instrument Drive will I have limited capabilities?You could use the serial example to write your entire program. If you only need a handfull of commands, then this is probably the most straighforward for you to get going. Everytime you use the VISA Write, the ascii values are written on the serial lines and transmitted to your device. Your device reads and interprets these commands and acts depending on what the command is. Some command may change a setting in the instrument. Some other command may actually ask for the instrument to write back some data. In this case, you need to have a VISA Read after the write to be able to read the data into your computer.
2.  I was informed that there is an Instrument I/O Wizard that would
potentially be easier to use and program than an Instrument
Drive.  What is your opinion on such matter? Could I use either or
neither?You can definitely use the Instrument I/O Wizard to help you . This wizard really helps in parsing the data received from your instrument. You can look this tutorial if you want to learn more about it.   You could use either one. I suggest you try both these methods and see which one seems more obvious to you.
3. If I develope an Instrument Drive are all the seperate commands seperate subVIs?
A LabVIEW instrument driver usually has a set of VIs with specific functionality. For example, you will have one subVI that will initializes the instrument. This subVI may send 1 to 5 (or more) commands, depending on what you need to initialize your instrument. You can then have one VI that set's an attritube. This one would only require sending one command.   You can look at this tutorial for developping a complete instrument driver. However, keep in mind that this may not me necessary for your application.
I suggest you first look at what functionality you need. Then take a look at what commands this will require. You will then be able to plan out your program a little better. I also suggest you post all this information on the forum, so that we may be able to help you with more specific details.
Have a great day.

How should i modify the hp54600a instrument driver for GPIB so i can use it for RS232 interface ?

I try to modify the hp54600a instrument driver for GPIB, so i can use it with RS232. But somehow it didnt work. When i try to run the initilize it, the prgoram show VISA read error (time is up before the process is finish). How should I modify the VI so I can use it with RS232 interface ?

First, check the instrument's user manual to see if the GPIB and serial command sets are the same. Also check to see what EOS(End of String) characters the instrument requires. Then, do a loopback test to test communication in LabVIEW.

Instrument driver for TDS430A

I cannot find an Instrument Driver for the TDS 430A digitizing
oscilloscope. Can anyone direct me to one or, if not, suggest a similar
instrument whose driver should work reasonably well. For example, I see
that there are drivers for the TDS 420 and TDS 460.
Thanks
John

I'm pretty sure that the only difference between the different models is the sampling rate. There is a single driver for the 420 and 460 If you need to make any modifications, it would probably be just to the horizontal config function.

Anyone has an instrument driver for Agilent E8364 50GHz PNA

Does anyone have a working instrument driver for the E8364 50GHz PNA? I am currently tryin to use the agpna instrument driver downloaded from NI but i am having errors. The PNA balks that the "query is unterminated" and then the VI times out. Please let me know if you have a working instrument driver.

Is this the driver you are downloading?
If so,
- Are you running the Getting Started VI to test communication?
- Did the ID query pass?
- Make sure you have VISA 2.6 or later installed.
- Try running NI-spy with with the Log to File option enabled and post the spy capture.

Do you have an instrument driver for E4418 Power Meter

I am trying to find an instrument driver for one of our power meters so as to be able to add a datalog capability to it to store time stamps and readings

Hi Moe,
I was able to find a driver for you on Agilents site. You can check out http://we.home.agilent.com/cgi-bin/bvpub/agilent/editorial/cp_MiscEditorial.jsp?LANGUAGE_CODE=eng&LANGUAGE_CODE=eng&COUNTRY_CODE=ZZ&NAV_ID=-11956.536880169.03&ID=1000000710:epsg:sud&JPID=/find/xbv_sud_vxipnp for the details.

GPIB Instrument driver for Keithley 2015 multimeter.

Hi,
Does anyone have instrument driver for Keithley 2015 multimeter or does
anyone know where can I find it? I didn't find it from NI web pages.
Thanks,
-Harri

Did you check Keithley's site Harri? I think I got one from there. They were anxious to know, Keithley that is, which drivers would be worth creating for CVI. Maybe you already have this worked out but otherwise talk to your friendly neighborhood Keithley rep. Hope it helps.

Instrument driver for Anritsu-MS2683A

Hello,
I am new to LabView. Does anyone has the Instrument driver for Anritsu-MS2783A( spectrum analyzer).
I am having a hard time to get it.
Thanks,

Ok. Seemingly, instrument driver for that model is not updated. As u can see only available driver is for MS2602A, which has been released in 1995. If there is no big difference between 2 models, i assume that u can use the driver of MS2602A. At least, it should be same for main features, but it is labwindows/CVi type. U might ask the venter which one of the NI certified drivers is suitable for ur instrument.

Instrument driver for agilent 8960 to run CDMA tests

Hi, just wonder if there is an instrument driver for agilent 8960 to run CDMA tests? I know 8960 has E1963 and E1968 driver, but 1963 is designed for W-CDMA and 1968 is for GSM/GPRS/EGPRS. So is there a driver designed for CDMA mode? Thanks a lot!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, it does not appear that there currently is one. When I search the Instrument Driver Network I only find the two drivers that you pointed out.
