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,
Daniel

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

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.

Trouble using the instrument driver for the "hp8753b"

I am using the instrument driver for the "hp8753b", specifically the "collect and display data" driver. I manually set my settings to the analyzer and run the VI (i.e. set start frequency to 500 kHZ and stop frequency to 1 GHz), when the VI runs with the "collect and display data" it defaults to start frequency 1 GHz and stop frequency to 3 GHz. I have tried to modify the driver to only collect data and not to modify any settings on the analyzer but I run into errors. Any help on this is appreciated.

Hello,
I have installed the instrument driver you mention in your post. I am looking at the Collect and Display Data.vi, however I need more information from you to determine why your sweep is defaulting back to 1GHz-3GHz.
When you say "I manually set my settings to the analyzer" are you making these settings directly on the analyzer? The Collect and Display Data.vi seems to read all of the settings from the hardware, I did not see any configuration in the VI. What modifications were you making to the VI and what errors were you getting?
Can you see the range on the instrument? If so , can you determine at which point the range defaults back to the higher range? Running in highlight-execution mode in the VI and running NI-Spy (Start->All Programs->National Instruments->NI-Spy) to perform a capture of the GPIB commands can help to determine at what point the errors are occurring. It will also let you see if there are any commands being sent which cause the instrument to be reset.

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.

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!!!

Looking for LabView driver for Suruga-Seiki motorized stage controller model D70

I'm Looking for LabView driver for Suruga-Seiki (Japan)motorized stage controller model D70, GPIB or RS232 (optional model D92).

Hi,
Unfortunately, I was unable to locate a driver for your instrument. I would like you to submit a request for this driver at: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/instrumentdriverrequest/ and with the instrument manufacturer. 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 :
http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/development.htm
We also have a syndicate of third party vendors that specialize in National Instruments' products and services. Some of the vendors specialize in driver development. I would s
uggest contacting one of the Alliance members at:
http://www.ni.com/alliance
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.
Some useful resources for your application are
ni.com > NI Developer Zone > Development Library > Instrument Connectivity

Hope this helps!

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.

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... .

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!

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.

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 HP1050 HPLC pump

I'm searching for a driver for HP1050 pump that is used for HPLC applications, I would like to use it within an application.

Hi Kmriziq,
You should definately make a request for that driver on www.ni.com/idnet.
We don't have anything available internally for that. Hopefully someone
in the community has designed something you can start with for that
instrument.
Best of luck!
