Pilot Agilent 33120A with Labview

Hello,
I have to pilot a multimeter Agilent 33120 A with Labview and my problem is that I downloaded drivers here :http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E9066659CE034080020E748...
I tried to test one of the example given with drivers but it doesn't work, does anybody has an idea of the problem?
Do you think it could be about the interface because i'm using a RS 232 wire and I didn't see this type of interface in the suggested interfaces on the website i gave by the link.
Thanks

Using Agilent 82357a with Labview

Is it possible to use Agilent 82357a USB-GPIB interface board with Labview
Linux version 7 ?

Hi
I just installed Labview 7.1 for linux on my machine after throwing away (not literally !) the Agilent card and borrowing an NI PCI-GPIB card. This works with kernels 2.4.x (tested with /usr/local/vxipnp/linux/NIvisa/NIvisaic). However, for proper operation of my machine (have bad display and mouse problems with the old kernel) I need kernels 2.6.x. The driver in /usr/local/nigpib complains that it cannot work with those. I tried hacking the INSTALL script but it keeps running up against differences (like the modversions.h file) between the two kernel series.
Can I use a newer version of the gpib libraries for linux with an older version of Labview like I am using ? I guess I will also need to get newer versions of the visa drivers for that. Though, the labview installation went smoothly with kernel 2.4.27-3 on my Debian system, I know that the newer versions of nigpib (is that the same as ni48825L.iso ?) and NIVISA are not supported on Debian. I cannot reinstall with a different distro, so please do not suggest that.
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks.

Controlling an Agilent E4428C with Labview

Hello All,
We have an Agilent E4428C Signal Generator, and I've downloaded the LV driver and set up the IP address on it. I can ping it, but I can't see it in MAX. Are there some instructions on how to set it up for use with LV? The manual doesn't say anything about LV.
Thanks in advance.

Bill,
For TCP/IP Instruments you have to add them manually in MAX. Here is Knowledge Base article that will get you up and going.
After you get the instrument identified in MAX, you can use the LabVIEW Instrument Driver that you have already downloaded.
Post back if you have any problems doing this.

Is it possible to use the agilent e3633a with labview 6.1?

Hi
at first, please excuse me.
my english is bad
if you can see in the header, i try to controll the e3633a with lab view 6.1. i´ve downloaded, the hpe363xa and controll with this vi my 3632a without any kind of problems.
could i control with this vi the 3633 too?
some kinds of modification requiered?
the vi for the 3633 requieres at least lab view 7.0, but i only work with 6.1.
thx
Wish you a great weekend.

HP/Agilent Infiniium 54831B scope - how to connect with LabView 6.0 by LAN (TCP/IP)

Dear,
I'm looking inf. how to connect Agilent Infiniium 54831B scope with LabView 6.0 by LAN (TCP/IP).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Z.Mrowka
mailto:[email protected]

Hello,
If the instrument is capable of being controlled from its TCP/IP port, it will be possible to communicate with the instrument from LabVIEW using VISA.
The VISA resource name input will need to be entered manually and is a little different from the normal Serial or GPIB format. The format is as follows:
For SOCKET connections, this is just like the traditional TCP functionality in LabVIEW. An example string that connects with the NI FTP site is:
"TCPIP::ftp.ni.com::21:OCKET"
For INSTR connection, this requires a device that supports the T&M standard LAN instrument protocol. An example of this (that we have tested with) is the Tektronix 3054 Scope. A string that connects with this scope is: "TCPIP::HostnameOrIP::gpib0,1::INSTR"
I hope this

Agilent 34401A multimeter to PC with Labview driver via RS232

Hello!
I am trying to measure a voltage with Agilent 34401A multimeter connected to PC via RS232 cable. I installed the driver. When I am starting Read Single Measurement.vi. It gives me an error:
Error-1073807346 occured at Visa Open in Agilent 34401.lvlib: Initialize.vi->Agilent 34401 Read Single Measurement.vi
Possible reason(s):
Visa: (Hex 0xbFFF000E) The given session or object reference is invalid.
I would like to ask, how can I adjust my system to use RS23 with Agilent 34401A, if it is possible? If not, should I get GPIB card and cable?
Thank you!
Yulia.

LabVIEW already comes with a driver for the 34401 pre-installed, so I'm not sure I understand what you installed. The pre-installed driver is in the Instrument I/O >> Instrument Drivers >> Agilent 34401 functions palette.
As for the control that Dennis is referring to, it's the VISA control.
As for the VISA version, you should have received a set of driver CDs along with LabVIEW. That will have the minimum VISA version required. Don't remember off the top of my head which version it is. Probably something like 4.1.

Connecting Agilent DSO3062A Oscilloscope with LabVIEW using USB

I am trying to connect Agilent DSO3062A Oscilloscope with LabVIEW using USB but the device is not recognized by MAX. I have installed the drivers for scope and it works fine with the scope software. The problem is LabVIEW dosen't recognize the scope. Please tell me the procedure of setting up the scope with LabVIEW 8.2. I am using Windows XP.

Hi there,
I think the issue is that the DSO3062A will not be recognized by LabView as a GPIB instrument through the USB connection. If you check out the 3000 series manual (http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/D3000-97016.pdf) you'll notice on page 8 it says you can't use the USB for programming, it can only be used with their scope software. You need the N2861 module installed on the back to connect via GPIB, and then a GPIB interface to your computer. I hope that helps.

Using Labview control Agilent 33120A signals generated occurs an error occurs

hello,
The signal generator is the Agilent (33120A)
In Measurement & Automation which have caught this device (see below)
But VI execution to half Shique the following error window
in Initialize.vi, there is a problem
Such as photos
Seems to be unable to distinguish the devices?
How can i solve this problem? thanks~

Hi
Noticed that you are using serial port to communicate to instrument. Would you please double-check the serial setting parameters, such as Baud Rate, Flow Controls and etc. are insistent with the configuration on instrument? Or would you please try to use other interface rather than serial port.
If you have tried everything I mentioned above and it still raised that error, please manipulate the NI I/O Trace (You could find it in Windows Start menu) tool to trace and log the communication between PC and instrument. I should be helpful to analyze the root course if you investigate into that trace log. It would be great if you post it here!
Thanks,

HP/Agilent 33120A Single Pulse Using Burst

Hello,
I am trying to trigger an on demand pulse from an HP 33120A function generator.
The pulse has to be a single, 0-5V ramp with adjustable frequency/period. I was able to get as much from the FG by using Burst and manually triggering off the front panel. Now I would like to get the same functionality from a LabVIEW VI.
While there is a driver for the device, the burst function is, unfortunately, not applicable to the model I am using. I found a similar issue on the forums and followed the SCPI code provided in the answer with some of my own midification (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/33120A-Pulse-Mode/td-p/1088106).
Unfortunately, my VI is not producing the same waveform as the manual triggering off the front panel. It hovers at the offset value and gives me a few square waves down to zero when I run the VI. The square waves are oddly spaced and I usually see 4-5 even though I specified 1 cycle in the VI. Reading through the 33120A, I get the impression that the issue is my not turning off the previous waveform but, if that's the case, I can't figure out how I would do that.
I am starting to move away from only using drivers and into modifying SCPI code but I am still quite new to this. Would really appreciate some advice on what the problem could be. I modified my original VI twice; once to configure only the burst with the FG wave parameters set manually and once to just set up the waveform with no burst. The former did not give me much better results and the latter works fine so I'm back to thinking the issue is in the transition.
I am attaching the initial VI (b) with the two modifications just in case (c, d).
Hope to hear from you,
Yusif Nurizade
Edit: Burst string should say TRIG: SOUR BUS instead of EXT although neither works.
Solved!

Sorry for the later reply fellas; I've been in contact with Agilent trying to figure out a fix.
To address some suggestions;
Albert, I've been in touch with Agilent. They've reproduced my SCPI commands on their end with their software (VEE) and got the desired output. I thought that maybe the issue was with the commands I was sending via LabVIEW so I downloaded a trial of VEE and sent the same commands that worked for Agilent. With VEE I have the same problem; some of the commands, relating to frequency, shape and amplitude are processed correctly, while the burst commands are not.
I suggested the firmware issue to them and they agree it might be what's causing the problem. Unfortunately, the device is no longer supported and it would be difficult, if at all possible, to get the update especially considering this is a time sensitive project.
Karl, I've run NI I/O Trace on both the .vi and VEE. The commands seem to be going over without issue. I am led to believe that the issue is with the instrument since Agilent was able to get the desired result using my exact commands and I can't reproduce the same using their software.
I must confess I am a bit confused as to how this could be a firmware issue if some of the commands are going through and the whole thing works if I program manually off the front panel.
Please advise,
Yusif Nurizade

How do I get HPE2078A HPIB to work with labview 6.1?

I will appologze in advance but I'm totally new to everything here, never dealt with HPIB or NI interface before in my life. The computer I have has a Agilent 82350 card and it appears to be installed correctly. I'm not sure if I need a new driver or what, but I can't get MAX to find this card. Any help to get started would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tim

MAX will only detect NI hardware. I think you will probably need to acquire drivers or a dll file from Agilent, then use LabView to make calls to the dll via ActiveX or .Net

Running 2 stepper motors with LabVIEW using RMV ST400-NT controller and driver

Hello, I am new to programming as well as motors in general so please bare with me in my attempt to explain myself. I have a project involving laser therapy and I am attempting to control two stepper motors from Falhauber, Type AM2224-R3-AV-4.8. I will be using a RMV ST400-NT controller and driver. Original plan was to use 3 stepper motors for control in 3 axis but realized 2 axis is complicated enough. My power source is an Agilent E3630A. I am new to this whole thing and from what I have read form examples and other posts is that NI drivers seem to work best for these applications. I've written simple programs from examples, reading and watching videos. I want to know whether it's possible for these to work together using LabVIEW and also a nudge to help me get started would be much appreciated. Can someone please help guide me in the right direction, I feel a bit lost when it comes to all this. Thank you for your time and consideration. Also, I will be using Windows 8 laptop with Labview 8.5. I have attached pics of components I will be using.

Hi jtarula,
I want to preface this response by saying that I am mre familiar with NI controller and driver rather than the one that you have. I am assuming that you are using the dll provided by the manufacturer here:
http://www.rmv.com/download.htm
With these, you should be able to interface with LabVIEW using the call library function node. What the controller is capable I am uncertain of. I am certain that you should be able to since another user has commented on the use in LabVIEW before in another forum post.
I also want to let you know that LabVIEW 8.5 is not supported on Windows 8, which means that you may run into some compatibility issues. Here is the compatibility chart.

Hi Guddan,
I created a RFC having a query which is taking a long time to execute. So i want to close RFC connection with portals which is via java connector(JCO) before that query and open the connction again after that query.
I guess i will need to understand your requirement a little more in detail, as i understand you have an RFC which has a query within to fetch some data and is taking a long time to do so. In the meantime you don't want to keep the connection open?
My question would be, Is the role of this RFC to only execute the query and fetch the data or does it do something else?
If it does other things and these are independent of the query execution, then you can span a parallel call within the RFC to execute the query and in the meantime the RFC does the other things (or vice versa) hence reducing the overall time taken.
If the sole purpose of this RFC is to execute the query, then you will not be able(i mean to say there is no simple and direct way of doing this) to close the connection after the Query is started and re-establish the connection after its execution, for a simple reason that - how will you know if the query has completed it's execution, so that you can establish the connection back.
Alternate solutions, make this a two way asynchronous call, 1) You invoke the RFC asynchronously and close the connection, the RFC in turn will execute the query and transfer the data to JCO via another RFC call.
If this needs to be a synchronous call, then you will need to optimize the query to its best.
Regards,
Chen

Lost ActiveX connection with LabVIEW server

I have called LabVIEW in TestStand and tried to execute the test cases .
While executing I got the following error: ( Lost ActiveX connection with LabVIEW server.
The LabVIEW adapter will try to reconnect on the next execution attempt.-18001; An error occurred accessing the LabVIEW ActiveX automation server.).

Same error. Is anyone from NI going to bother commenting on this? It's been >8 months...
