Labview driver for HP 8560 EC Spectrum Analyzer

I'd appreciate it very much if somebody help to find
Labview driver for HP 8560 EC Spectrum Analyzer using GPIB.

Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument either. This leaves you with one of a couple options. First, I would like you to submit a request for this driver at:
http://zone.ni.com/idnet/other.htm
We develop drivers based on demand and popularity so the more requests we have for it, the greater the possibility that we will develop one.
If you would like to try developing your own instrument driver (or modify the existing one), we have documentation, model instrument drivers, and driver templates to help at :

Where can i find a Labview driver for the "8990a PEAK POWER ANALYZER" it's not on NI's site.

where can i find a Labview driver for the "8990a PEAK POWER ANALYZER" it's not on NI's site.
if there is no driver maybe you can tell me the closest instrument that comes to this one from the list at,
http://search.ni.com/query.html?lk=1&col=alldocs&nh=500&rf=3&ql=&pw=595&qp=%2BContentType%3AInstrumentDriver+%2BIDNetManufacturer%3A%22Hewlett-Packard%22&qt=peak+power+analyzer&layout=IDNet
so i could modify and use the driver

Hello,
It looks like Agilent/HP makes the 8990A, but I was not able to find a driver for it that we or Agilent has written for this device.
Since I am not familiar with the 8990A, I cannot recommend which drivers might be similar, but you are pointed in the right direction. Agilent themselves might know more about which models use similar command sets so that you can modify a driver easily.
Hope this helps.

Where can I find Labview drivers for the RSA 3308A Spectrum Analyzer

I need to use Tektronix's Spectrum Analyzer RSA 3308A as a LabView environment
instrument for my school project, I would like to know if there are available
drivers, if no drivers are available which are the implied software/software
requirements to achieve this goal.

NI doesn't have a driver and I couldn't find one on Tek's web site. That seemed kind of strange to me so you might want to contact Tek directly and see if they have something. If that comes up blank, you have several options. LabVIEW has the Instrument I/O Assistant (on the Instrument I/O palette), that will alllow you to create a series of writes and reads to an instrument and parse results. The assistant lacks flexibility but if your needs are fairly simple, it might be all you need. Of course, you'll need to be familiar with the instrument's command syntax. A step up the assistant is to use a series of VISA Read and Write commands. These would commands similar to what you would use with the assistant - tailored specifically for your application. You gain some flexibility because you can easily vary the command parameters with LabVIEW variables. At the top of the complexity ladder is developing a full blown instrument driver yourself. NI has some great tools to make this easier than it has ever been before. The guidelines and links to the tools can be found here. Lastly, you can request that NI develop a driver here. There is no guarantee the they will develop it as they base that decision on things like how many requests they get for a particular instrument.

Is there any LabVIEW driver for the Agilent 53147A counter/power meter?

I am trying to find a LabVIEW driver for the Agilent 53147A counter/power meter, but I cannot find it. Is there any?

NI does not have a driver and a quick check with Agilent shows that they don't have a driver either.
You can go to http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/ and request a driver. You will also find links on how to create your own driver. Your other option is to use the Instrument I/O Assistant.
p.s. In the future, you should use the Instrument control board for posting questions. this board is for NI counter/timer products.

RS232 Labview driver for SR830 lockin Amplifier

Hi,
I want to install Labview driver for Stanford Research SR830 lockin amplifier for RS232 port. NI has drivers for GPIB but I could not find any for RS 232 comm port.
Please let me know how can I find driver for RS232 port.
Regards,
Nitin

Dear Jason S,
I also want to communicate with sr 830 with the RS232 interface. You said I had to rewrite the whole thing. What does that really mean? Rewrite the driver? If so, what language will it be?
JasonS' wrote:
Hello Nitshu-
As you mentioned, this driver only supports GPIB, and not RS-232. This driver was originally created in 1994, so it was not created using VISA. This means that to convert this driver you would need to essentially rewrite the entire thing. There are not currently any plans to update this driver to support RS-232, but you could easily communicate with it by adding a GPIB Interface to your system.
Let us know if you have any specific questions we can help answer.

How to build a Labview driver for a USB device?

I have purchased a USB Hall probe (a device that measures magnetic fields) and now I need to build a LabVIEW driver for it (the company that sells this device did not build drivers for it, to keep the price down I suppose). The USB device does come with an operating software, but what I need is to control the device using LabVIEW. I have some experience with LabVIEW, but none with building drivers. I don´t really know where to start, so any advice would be helpful.

To do USB in LabVIEW you'll want to get the NI-VISA driver. After you've got VISA, check out a few examples:
USB Instrument Control Tutorial
Six Things You Need to Know about USB Instrument Control
There are also examples built in to LabVIEW (under Help>>Find Examples to open the NI Example Finder, then under Hardware Input and Output>>VISA)

Does anybody already developed or knows where can I find a LabVIEW driver for a CETA 800 equipment?

Ronaldo Schwarz
Selco Sistemas Eletronicos Ltda

Ronaldo,
I just did a search of the web (and of NI resources), and I could not find any helpful pages offering information on LabVIEW drivers for this CETA 800 equipment.
The only suggestion I have is that perhaps the manufacturer of the device may have a driver, or may perhaps know of someone who does provide one.
I hope you are able to find a LabVIEW driver for this instrument. If you end up having to write one of your own, you can visit www.ni.com/idnet to find several resources on writing your own instrument drivers.
Have a pleasant day.

Does sombody have a labview driver for the Scanlab rtc2 scanner controller

From the German firm Scanlab we have a RTC2 isa card with a dll. Has somebody already written a labview driver for this card ?
greetings from the Netherlands

Hello Martin,
First, don t worry it shouldn t be very complicated I work at a reasearch center with physicist and an hospital with physicians, we probably work on something very similar, like eye surgery assisted by laser
1- First thing first, does your scanner works with the examples provided with Scanlabs? ex.: "Hpgl.exe" with an "*.PLT" file?
2- If so, have a look at my load correction subVI, I always do a reset before I start working with the scanner control, only once at the beginning. If the function returs :"0" zero, it s working if not, come back to me.
regards
Lukasz

I am looking for LabVIEW driver for MAVOLOG10 L/N/S from GMC-Instruments.

For testing power supplies we use the MAVOLOG 10 Power Quality Monitor for 3 phase Systems. So we use LabVIEW as test enviroment we need information where to find a driver.

Hello,
I just did a search of the web for "mavolog labview" and found absolutely nothing. I think just about the only place you might be able to find a LabVIEW driver for this device would be from the manufacturer. Hopefully they can help you out. If they have nothing, there are some helpful resources at www.ni.com/idnet for developing your own instrument driver.
Good luck with your application, and have a good day.

Labview driver for an EG&G Ortec 9308 time analyzer

I am trying to interface Labview to an ORTEC 9308 picosecond time analyzer. All I want to do is to set up the offset and span parameters and to start and stop an acquisition and then read back the data collected in the bins.
Can anyone help... I know that there is a DLL development kit for the insrument however it uses C++ include structures to pass data to and from the insrument.

Hi John,
Developing a new LV instrument driver should not be that difficult. An instrument driver is a collection of functions that implement the commands necessary to perform the instrument�s operations. In short, someone read the instrument user manual and implemented some of the functionality in a program for the end user.
There are example VI's in LV on Instrument Connectivity. If you go to the Help menu >> Examples.. >> I/O, you will see a couple and Examples.. >> Fundamentals for File and String manipulation.

I am looking labview driver for Tektronix TLA704 logic analyzer

I need this labview driver desperately, I am very appreciated if you have it and courtesy me a copy.
Thanks
Tys

phone: 214-480-0902

I did some looking around on the Tektronix web site.
Tek does not seem all that interested in supporting the
TLA704 in particular, or LabView(tm) for logic analyzers
at all. IMHO the Tek site sucks when you need to find
information in depth.
I looked through National Instruments site too. Now on this
site it was easy to find what I was looking for. Good job.
Developing a LabVIEW instrument driver for a logic analyzer
looks to be a non-trivial task for anything more involved than
starting a capture and waiting for the data to log. Depending
on the driver it could be real slow getting a load of data from
the logic analyzer.
It might be better to use the TLA programmatic interface
(TPI) to run the TLA704 by remote control over the Ethernet.
All the support for this comes with the analyzer software.
Though it's really painful to get it setup in Windows 98.
This way you could create a Windows program that runs
on your workstation to connect to the TLA704, set it up,
start a run, and download the data. Once the data is in
your workstation you can reformat for use by LabView.
I don't know that this would be easier than making a
LabVIEW instrument driver for a logic analyzer, but
at least all the software exists right now to control
the TLA704 remotely.
Charles.
I don't work for National Instruments,
or Tektronix or use LabView. But I use
logic analyzers way too much.
