Labview driver for Sony EX frontend (also known as 01dB-Metravib Orchestra)

I am looking for information on a third party driver for the Sony EX-IF10 data acquisition frontend. I know sony made a driver as it was advertised in promotional materials. Unfortunately the division of Sony seems to have been sold.
Very similar hardware (identical) has also been sold under the name 01dB-Metravib Orchestra.
Any help is appreciated.
Heres a link to a sony promo poster: http://assets.sonybiz.net/doc/sesdatasheets/Front-end_EX-Series(brch).pdf

Hi
I’ve been working with Sony EX series professionally for many years. Sony Manufacturing Systems Corporation manufactured and promoted this system and later also discontinued it, officially because of environmental reasons in the production line. They later also went away from the data acquisition market were they had been successful earlier on with tape recorders.
So what is your current Sony EX Series system configuration, do you only have hardware or do you also have Sony PCscanIV software?
The Sony EX series driver is only for 32bit OS and EX-UT10 interface doesn’t support multiprocessor operation or hyper threading technology. I only use computers were I have disabled multicore and run on one single core. Can be run on multicore but not stable in my experience.
Regarding third-party software I had a contact with Sony Manufacturing Systems in Japan and the MATLAB mexEX subroutine were never sold or even finalized. Sony Manufacturing Systems didn’t want me to use or try it. As for LabVIEW Sony Manufacturing Systems are the supplier so only if someone else has a driver.
With the other software suppliers you only need the Sony EX driver and maybe a dongle. I use Head Acoustics Head Recorder software witch support all Sony EX modules and several other DAQ units, works with a licensed dongle.
Sony EX series was delivered with Sony PCscanIV software for acquisition and post processing. You had the option of STD / ADV / PRO / RTA on a license dongle.
The system was hardware supported up until 2015 some spare part may still be available.

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.

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. Instrument drivers are not necessary to use your instrument. They are merely time savers to help you develop your project so you do not need to study the manual before writing a program.
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 would suggest tweaking them to suit your application. Also the specific command that your instrument responds to can be found from it's manual.

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)

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.

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 AWG2021

I've downloaded the CVI/Labwindows driver for the Tektronix AWG2021 and tried to import it into LabView with Tools->Instrumentation->Import CVI Instrument Driver. The VIs are all created fine but don't work because the library file tkwg20xx_32.dll is missing. Is this file just missing from the download? How can I get it? Thanks.

I think you can compile the dll without CVI. You have the .c and .h files and LabWindows is ANSI C. You might want to look at other dependencies to see if you need any other lib. You could also ask someone on the CVI forum to create it for you. I have LabWindows but not on this computer. If I have time and can get to the pc where I have CVI, I might give it a shot but I can't promise anything.

Labview driver for agilent 8164A tunable laser

I'm working on a project that involves setting up our Agilent 8164A lightwave measurement system in labview. I cannot locate the driver software on the NI website. Please let me know where I can download the driver for this equipment. Thanks.

Actually we don't have a driver for that instrument in our website, so that means that we also don't have it in the CD. So you may want to check the Agilent's website, or as a matter of surprise, I found in our database one document that was talking about some past issue and it involved the 8166 instrument, so the author attached the driver for this instrument so we can reproduce what he found out, so I'm attaching this file here which is the file the previous Sr. mention, "hp816x", I installed it in my computer and run it and it is an Agilent made driver, so you can use this one or try to contact the Agilent people. Also you may request a LabVIEW driver been made for this instrument, please see the details at: O
ther Driver's Resources from our download site.
Good luck!
