Lecroy 6100 Ethernet Control by Labview

Hi All,
I'm just new here and just starting in LabView. I really appreciate if someone could help me. This is the situation: I want to communicate/control a Lecroy 6100a oscillsocope using LabView on my PC. I've already studied some tutorials for GPIB communiation between LabView and an instrument. Actually, i have succesfully done this using a VI to control a GPIB controlled instrument. However, the Lecroy 6100a that we have here doesn't have the GPIB port i needed. I've already installed the driver for this instrument on my PC, but since there is no GPIB Port available on the Lecroy that we have, i can't communicate with the instrument.
With the help of some search here in the forum, i was able to know that it is possible to control the Lecroy 6100a using the Ethernet port. I tried to look for some tutorial on this but unfortunately, i can't watch the video provided by NI. Then, i decided to go back here in the forum.
Could someone here give me any instruction on how to configure/control the Lecroy 6100a oscilloscope using LabView through an Ethernet port? or is this possible?
Many Thanks in Advance!

Hi All!
I had already make this thing work! By the way, thanks to All!.
Maybe if i had future problem regarding the Lecroy 6100a and LabView, i'll just consult again.
Thanks!

Pb communication TCP/IP avec un oscillo Lecroy 6100 et librairie Visa

Hello,
I am trying to communicate with a remote Lecroy 6100 scope through TCP/IP, using the visa library.
I have configured my device with MAX but it can not
open an INSTR session. I have check the IP address, my
device respond to a ping. I have installed a VisaServer
on my device but from my PC, no INSTR session can be
opened.
Does someone have any idea ?
Thank you.

Hello,
First of all, I advice you to use the instrument driver for your device:
* WR 6100 - WaveRunner 6000 series Oscilloscope
http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/DF35A33EF5129A8586256E920052E226?OpenDocument#rank
NI-VISA 2.5 (and higher), on Windows32 platforms only, allows you to connect to ethernet instruments via TCP/IP. This is done by specifying a TCP/IP Instrument (INSTR) Resource or TCP/IP Socket (SOCKET) Resource. The syntax for each is as follows:
TCPIP[board]::host address[::hostname][::INSTR]
To use the INSTR resource type, the device must support the TCP/IP Instrument Protocol, also known as VXI-11.
TCPIP[board]::host address[::host name]:ort:OCKET
The SOCKET Resource exposes the capability of a raw ne
twork socket connection over TCP/IP (usually, but not restricted to, an ethernet interface). Without TCP/IP Instrument Protocol support, you must use the SOCKET resource type.
If there is only one interface type present on the host machine, then the board type is optional. For example, "TCPIP0::..." is the same as "TCPIP::...", because 0 after TCPIP is optional. Also, host name has to be used only when there is more than one hostname (instrument) in the host address.
Refer to the link below for more informations:

Is it possible to create user defined control in labview

in .net we can create user defined contol in which i can put more then one control and,, can use it as single control when needed,, but,, how this possible in labview,,
actually in my program i have a tab control and,, in that tab control there are 8 pages,, now there are 5 different kind option selection for each page lets say "a" "b" "c" "d" "e",,,,,.,. so,, when i select "a" configuration for tabpage 1 should show.. "a"(control collection) on tabpage1....and,, same should b possible for all 8 pages............................. this can possible if its possible to create user defined contorl in labview
while in .net its very easy task i m confused here,..,.
i put these controls in another 5 different VI,,,, and tried to call in subpanel but,, i dont find the solution,,,

Hi,
I've tried to open you attachment but LabVIEW tells me it's not a vi... could you check it and repost please ?
I'm not really sure of what you need but you CAN customize you control in LabVIEW, it is not hard, you just have to know how it works
Sometimes being good at another programation language confuse you more than it helps because you try to do as you are used to... the difficulty it to "translate" functions from a language to another.
I do know how frustrating it can be when you think "Damned, it would take me only 5 minutes to do that with language a and after 10 hours with language b it is still not working "
You have to get in LabVIEW way of thinking, I wish you good luck !
A quick exemple... this might not do exactly what you need but it may help you anyway.

How can i use activeX Control in labview?

how can i use activeX Control in labview?
please describe me step by step.
thanks.

Well..that was quite helpful..but now I'm encountering certain problems. I've attached the VI I've made.
I don't need sound at the moment so I dropped it. (Although I tried to play it..but all I could hear was a very annoying sound.) Secondly I don't want to display any date or time..so i dropped that property too.
Now when I run this Vi...the webcam turns on, the screen of videocapx pops up..then the webcam light goes off..and another pop up appears saying..labview is not responding..and i have to close it reluctantly.
I haven't placed the stop capture property in this vi. i checked it by placing it too..but that doesn't work.
I would like to notify that my actual task is to acquire image and then compare it with another one already present on my pc. I want you to please help me out..solve my first query then I'll proceed with the latter part.

Turn Ethernet off using LabVIEW or DOS prompt

Does anyone know of a method to disable an Ethernet port using LabVIEW or a DOS prompt? In an automated test, I need to be able to turn off one port of a dual port Ethernet PCI device, then turn it back on and do the same to the other port. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

One tehnique is using the System Exec.VI issue an IPCONFIG comand (with correct parameter): -
(see the very bottom)
USAGE:
    ipconfig [/? | /all | /renew [adapter] | /release [adapter] |
              /flushdns | /displaydns | /registerdns |
              /showclassid adapter |
              /setclassid adapter [classid] ]
where
    adapter         Connection name
                   (wildcard characters * and ? allowed, see examples)
    Options:
       /?           Display this help message
       /all         Display full configuration information.
       /release     Release the IP address for the specified adapter.
       /renew       Renew the IP address for the specified adapter.
       /flushdns    Purges the DNS Resolver cache.
       /registerdns Refreshes all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names
       /displaydns Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache.
       /showclassid Displays all the dhcp class IDs allowed for adapter.
       /setclassid Modifies the dhcp class id.
The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP.
For Release and Renew, if no adapter name is specified, then the IP address leases for all adapters bound to TCP/IP will be released or renewed.
For Setclassid, if no ClassId is specified, then the ClassId is removed.
Examples:
    > ipconfig                   ... Show information.
    > ipconfig /all              ... Show detailed information
    > ipconfig /renew            ... renew all adapters
    > ipconfig /renew EL*        ... renew any connection that has its
                                     name starting with EL
    > ipconfig /release *Con*    ... release all matching connections,
                                     eg. "Local Area Connection 1" or
                                         "Local Area Connection 2"

Auto Tune prior to running motion control program (LabVIEW)

Hi,
I am controlling Parker Compumotor (404-LXR) linear servo table via GV6 drive and PCI-7344 motion controller.
The problem is that I always have to run automatic tuning in MAX when I turn off all the system and restart it.
Before I use the automatic servo tuning in MAX, the servo table buzzes and oscillates wildly. Cabling seems to be successful as linear servo motor is completely controlled by LabVIEW after auto tuning in MAX.
I wonder how I can just run my LabVIEW program without running Auto Tune step.

Hello Gino,
Thank you for using our discussion forums. Yes, you can programmatic load the PID parameters from LabVIEW. Tune your servo using auto tune, once you are satisfied with the response look under the Control Loop tab for the PID parameters. In LabVIEW use the Load All PID Parameters.flx and use the tuned parameters from Measurement and Automation Explorer as the PID Parameters input for this VI. Place the VI before the multistart.vi. This will make sure the correct PID settings are used. I hope this helps you out. Have a nice day!

Fast low level Ethernet communication with LabVIEW

Hello, I want to read Ethernet packets with LabVIEW (an private protocol, not UDP or TCP or others). The hardware writes 40 000 packets per second. I want to use winPcap API to capture data. I’ve seen the example «packet_sniffer_project » (and others). It’s an great job. But the soft reads only 1 packet at each time (wrapper dll calls « pcap_next_ex » function) and I lose packets. With my computer, I read 25 000 packets per second. How can I read more than one packet at each time? (or all the Ethernet buffer) Thank You

Do you know a unicast protocol for the Ethernet control plane?

Hi,
Does anyone know a protocol for the Ethernet control plane which has a unicast destination address?
MVRP, MMRP, MSTP, RSTP, all these protocols have a multicast reserved destination address.
Perhaps we have to look non-802.1Q control plane protocols.
Best regards,
Michel

Hi Peter,
> I wonder if any of the OAM protocols, especially the one providing the loopback/ping test is unicast-based.
In G.8013 (07/2011) section 7.3:
"The Ethernet loopback function (ETH-LB) is used to verify connectivity of a MEP with a MIP or
peer MEP(s). There are two ETH-LB types:
• Unicast ETH-LB.
• Multicast ETH-LB".
> In any case, think of LOOP frames sent by Catalyst switches to detect self-looped ports. In these frames,
> the source and destination MAC address are set to the unicast MAC of the egress port.
As I said above, it's a good case for my little study.
The LOOP frame, from Cisco, was certainly interesting and important before 2004.
Since 802.3ah-2004 we have the OAM remote loopback (in link OAM, and not network OAM as ETH-LB).
Best regards,
Michel

Off the shelf XY gantry system controlled with LabView

I am looking for an XY gantry system that I can easily control from labview. I need a workspace of 11 by 16 inches with minimum clearance of 6 inches. I was wondering if anyone has used a commercially available XY gantry or has any experience with an XY gantry.
I have found these two tables/brands that already have LabView drivers
http://www.zaber.com/products/product_detail.php?detail=G-LSQ450D450D&tab=Series%20Features#tabs
http://www.techno-isel.com/tic/Catdas/Gantry3.htm
And this one that looks promising too
http://www.animatics.com/en/products/table-top-robot/animatics/table-top-robot/2-axis-ttr-xy-configu...
Both Zaber and Techno Linear do not know of anyone in my area (Loveland, Colorado or Denver area) that I could go visit to see a table and I would like to see a working system before making a decision to buy a new system. I have not been able to talk to an engineer/technical sale representative at Animatics yet.
I am looking at using the XY gantry to position a sensor over a tray of parts to measure some properties of the parts. The system I am designing does not need an high accuracy table (+- 0.005" is fine). I would prefer to spend about $10K for a XY gantry table including any required controllers and hardware.
Thanks,
Brian

You have a good start, but 2 other things that you need to consider are your load and speeds required. This will determine the mechanics of the gantry(ball screw, acme screw, belt, bearing type, etc.). It will also determine if you need servos or you can get away with steppers. You then need to figure what kind of motion you need. Point to point moves can be accomplished with non-interpolated controllers, but any kind of coordinated motion will need a motion controller that can do true interpolated motion.

Simple motor control with Labview

Can anyone suggest a simple motor to be controlled by labview. I am interested in making a small scale elevator that is controlled with a labview interface. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. - Bryan

Attached is the vi for the program. I will also try and attach the C code for the project. It took a lot of failed attempts to get it working so I hope this works for you. I don't have a schematic for you, but if you look over the C code it should let you know. Also I used the CCS development kit 16F877A. I'm not great at programming in C so there is a good chance you can clean it up a bit.
I'll keep an eye on this post if you have any questions, when winter comes I'll probably work on this some more.

Manual setting change on Tektronix 3014 Phosper Oscilloscope when it is control by Labview IVI driver. Is it possible?

In my labview test program, I would like to allow manual setting change on Oscilloscope like moving cursor position but other part is still controlled by IVI instrumental driver. Is this possible. I found the oscilloscope is locked once it is controlled by labview and don't allow any setting on the scope front panel unless I power off and then power on the scope.

There is a GPIB command called "Unlock" that will unlock the front panel (see page 2-32 of the programmers manual). You will need to send this using a Visa function call since it is not supported by IVI. Unlocking the front panel may cause problems if you are using IVI state caching because if settings are changed (other than cursors) the state cache will be out of synch with the actual settings. So, I suggest you disable state caching using MAX. This will degrade performance somewhat. I also suggest you lock the front panel again ("Lock" command) after the manual settings.
