Troubles with LabVIEW and the SR830 Lock-in Amp.

i'm quite new to LabVIEW and am trying to use the sr830 instrument drivers
to control the Lock-in from a computer, but the instrument drivers don't
seem to want to send or recieve any data. if anyone who is more proficient
in VI programming couild help me out with this, i would greatly appreciate
a response. thanks.

Are you using the instrument driver downloaded from Nat Inst ??
If you are this thing looks terrible, but should work.
You could try building a simple VI to see if all the communication is working
properly.
Check to make sure you have the correct GPIB address and that all the cables
cards etc are properly connected and working.

  • Controlling a chemical process with LabVIEW and the SC 2075 board

    Hi,
    I am a degree student and one of my projects is to control a chemical process using LabVIEW and the SC2075 board. The process variables i must control are temperature, pH and also several motor. Is this viable using the SC 2075 board and if so does anyone know where i can attain information on using the board. Also if anyone has suitable sample vi's that may be of use to me it would be very much appreciated. My email is [email protected]
    Kind Regards,
    Derek

    Hi Derek,
    Bellow is a link the the user guide for the 2075.
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371217a.pdf
    You should be able to aquire data from you sensors but you might need some signal conditioning depening on the voltage levels they return.
    For sample vi's try going to Help>>Find Examples... within LabVIEW or goto the following link to search our developer exachange.

  • Troubles with messengers and the battery

    hi! i'm from russia. have been using the new ipad for 2months or so. could anyone recommend a good messenger with a working mail.ru agent account? the mail.ru agent itself doesn'work well - it always goes offline! (though it's from appstore!!!) im+ doesn't meet my demands eihter... i'd appreciate it if anyone could help... at least i hope they read these trouble reviews in apple and will do sth!!! it's become almost impossible to communicate by changing messages online! and the other question - after upgrading to ios6 the battery doesn't live for long... what should i do with that??? thanx in advance, maria

    Apple are working on it, many people have been having this probleme mainly on 4 an 4s. All you can do is wait for an upgrade, check this link for better battery lifehttp://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html or pick up a mophie juice pack.

  • How can i work simultaniously with labVIEW and Excel ?

    Hello . I study engineering and need some help with labVIEW, and the connection to microsoft excel.

    Hi
    NI offers an "Report generation toolkit". You get some VI's with this toolkit and so you can directly create your reports from LV.
    Another possibility is the communication through ActiveX. There is a nice link with application notes and LV examples for that:

    Sorry, downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple, thus there is no official way to do so. Your phone was re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to because you hacked it to unlock it. Apple's servers detected such & re-locked your phone. You need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to if you want to get it officially unlocked.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all.

    I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.

    I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
    There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
    Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

  • I am having trouble with safari and most apps shutting down when I'm in the middle of stuff what do I need to do to resolve this?

    Make sure you have enough free space on your iPad. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    Also try a reset. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I'm Having trouble with OWA and Certs after the Rollup 7 for SP3 installation. any idea? update 2961522-

    Hi, everyone.
    I'm Having trouble with OWA and Certs after the Rollup 7 for SP3 installation. any idea? update 2961522-
    after running get-OWAVirtualDirectory or test-OWAConnectivity i'm getting a message that says "OWA it's Orphan, No Metadata information can be found."
    I only have the OWA users impacted.- anywhere users, and ActiveSync are working well.-

    Hi Fabian,
    Is there any error code when user access their mailbox on OWA. Please confirm if there is no results returned in EMS when you run Get-OWAVirtualDirectory cmdlet. Also check whether there is any Event Logs related to OWA in Exchange.
    In IIS manager, make sure the OWA virtual directory is listed in the Default Web Site. In EMC, we can navigate to Server Configuration > Client Access, select server and turn to Outlook Web App tab. Then we can click Reset Virtual Directory in the right
    Actions pane to reset OWA virtual directory.
    Additionally, please restart IIS service by running iisreset /noforce from a Command Prompt window.

  • Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance

    Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance

    First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac.  Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up.  Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread.  It should work after performing those steps.  Good luck!

    I live in NYC and have an old modem/router and keep getting kicked off the internet. I have time warner as my internet provider.

    Hello there adell723,
    I suggest taking a look at this article we have named Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US.
    Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
    Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
    Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
    Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
    If you have Mac OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion installed then I would recommend using Wireless Diagnostics tool which is on your computer already.
    Here is the article for it and how to use it to assist with wifi connectivity issues.

  • How to switch central frequency fastly with labview and USRP?

    Hello everybody,
             Recently I was making a frequency hopping receiver with labview and USRP N210 and SBX. The transmitter works on the 2.4G band, and it changes from one central frequency to another every 65536us. As I think, if I start receiving at the correct time, and  change the central frequency of the USRP every 65536us, I should be able to receive the data.
        But I find that, when usrp switch form one central frequency to a different one, it spends nearly 48ms and when it switch from one frequency to the same one, it only spends 3ms(I test the performance by modifying the niUSRP EX Rx Continuous Async Reconfig on the Fly.vi example). So if I want to follow the hopping sequency, I may can only receive 17ms data because I have to save time for switching central frequency. 
         My problem is that: why usrp changes central frequency so slow,  how can I make the process faster? If I want to follow the hopping sequency, can anybody give me some good advice? Thanks

    There is an attribute "LO Frequency" that you can use to lock down the frequency of the local oscillator.  Then, when you set the "Carrier Frequency" attribute, the difference between the carrier frequency value and the LO frequency value will be realized by frequency shift in the DSP in the FPGA.  Changing this "digital" frequency shift value is much faster, since you don't have to re-tune the local oscillator.
    Let's say you're sweeping from 2.44 GHz to 2.46 GHz.  Set the "LO Frequency" to 2.45 GHz then Commit.  Then, in your loop, program the "Carrier Frequency" attribute from 2.44 GHz to 2.46 GHz.  In the loop, it will only program the digital frequency shift, which will happen much faster.
    Another tip is to use the property node to program only the attributes you want to change, rather than the niUSRP Configure Signal.vi (which sets many at once).
    For more details, see the "Configuration:Advanced:LO Frequency Property" in the NI-USRP Help, and look at this example:
    <LabVIEW dir>\examples\instr\niUSRP\niUSRP EX Fine-Tune LO Frequency.vi
