Agilent 8164 Lightwave measurement system pilot b

Hi all

I have some problems with an Agilent 8164 b Lightwave measurement system, is there a driver for this device to work with labVIEW?, the Programming Guide it says I should "convert", but I think that this option is available only with older versions of labVIEW (I have 8.6).

In fact, I am able to see the unit with MAX and perform read, write, and Query commands.

I hope you could guide me through this and start working with this unit.

More details:

-In the course of running on Windows 7

-LabVIEW 8.6

-Use the GPIB interface

Thank you very much in advance for your time.

-Gozto-

PS: of course I ask here because there was no driver available on ni.com

Do not confuse the plug-and-play driver with LabVIEW envelope. Plug-and-play driver (dll, etc.) must be located in the IVIfoundation folder. In the \instr.lib folder should be the llb of LabVIEW functions which are of COLD LAKE to the dll. Attach an image of the windows Explorer you will fix any image.

  • RT or-9148 how to build a distributed measurement system

    Hello!

    I just intend to build such a system, based on the cRIO 9014 and 9148. My problem is that I don't know how to link these two devices by Ethernet. Cannot add the Chassis 9148 to cRIO9014 (it may have a single chassis). All modules IO 9148 Chassis are managed by FPGA and FPGA is to read the data of these modules. How do I send data via Ethernet to another controller cRIO?

    Is there a technical sheet or training touch?

  • How to connect the generator of signals of Agilent N9310A chauffeur?

    Hello

    I have a N9310A of Agilent connected via USB to a system using Labview 8.2 and the Agilent driver.  The system goes into remote mode, so there is a communication. I tried to change the example of "Agilent N9310A RF Output" to exit BF (low frequencies) so that I can check the control of the signal using an oscilloscope gererator.  I get the following error: Hex 0xBFFF0015 timeout expired before the operation is complete.

    I must then disconnect and reconnect the USB cable that the example can not find the device.  What happens here?

    I'm new to using Labview with tools

    -Thanks for any help

    -Matt

    Thanks for your help guys. The problem ended up being with the firmware of my Agilent N9310A signal generator. I got the A.02.03 firmware version and an upgrade to the current version (A.02.05) fixed something called an unstable connection between the PC and the N9310A.

    This works.

  • Measurement of low-cost input analog (4-20mA) with data acquisition

    Hello

    I would like to have a very low cost measurement system loop which I can plug in my laptop current:

    I have a load, which is connected to a circuit of air conditioning/signal booster, which output a 4-20mA. I want to measure this current loop signal.

    An idea for the lowest cost system? I think that the most NOR DAQ are too expensive and too exaggerated.

    I have LabVIEW.

    Use of remote sensing current low-value resistance, then measure the fall of voltage through it with the help of an acquisition of data 6008/6009?  They have about $150.

    You will probably need to amplify current-sense with a MAX4372 or similar resistance to achieve a result that allows you to use a reasonable scale on data acquisition.  I measure the current through our products in almost all of our equipment to test in this way.  The size of the resistance of meaning as a result.  The 6008 is accurate enough, but it is not the fastest nor well presented.  But starting at $ 150, they are hard to beat.

  • Premiere Pro system Resouces not beign used when exporting

    Hi all

    I've been editing this video and last night I started to make. However, it is far from quick reading. Estimated time remaining SOUL shows, it's 65 h!

    However, this is not the worst. My CPU, RAM, disk and even GPU are not beign used. The use of the system measured during the export of this same clip is:

    • 15% OF THE CPU
    • -2 GB OF RAM
    • Images of 1 MB/S Hard Drive (out of maximum 50 MB/s)
    • GPU consult the tips @90 %, 40% on average.

    Features of the project:

    • Complete sequences almost 2 hours long.
    • Maximum of 2 layers.
    • RAW clip images: H264 1080 p DSLR Footage.
    • Red Giant Denoiser II (accelerated GPU) on 50% of the clips.
    • The included body curves RGB and STL on 50% of the clips.
    • Export to H264, 1080 p 30 fps, VBR 1 package, 15Mbps (18Mbps max) using Adobe Media Encoder (body 'Export' option isn't even run).

    System Specs:

    • AMD FX-8350 (x 8) 4.5 GHz
    • 16 GB of Ram DDR3 1866 MHz
    • NVIDIA Geforce GTX650 (2 GB of GDDR5 memory)
    • Windows 8 x 64 OS.
    • Cache, OS and Suite CS6 Adobe drive: Samsung 840 PRO 128 GB (500 MB/S R, W 480 MB/S)
    • Images & export Drive: Seagate 1 TB (don't know the exact model)

    I know that my graphics card is not the best for this task, but this isn't even beign used... My first thought is that there is a bottleneck HHD, because he is not fast at all, but my use of measurement system I found is not the sweet string this time. What I am doing wrong?

    BTW, I use CS6.

    Thanks in advance,

    Gonzalo Ruiz.

    MAC Adobe (digital video applications) are heavy throughout the chain of material resources, and bottleneck stifles all this at the speed of the slowest part.

    People usually gauge how they think that their system should respond based on the processor, RAM and GPU. Those who have all their place... but they only works on things that can get through the process in/out of the storage media, that means your discs.

    What we want to see is that you have only two disks, one for OS/programs/cache and another for both circles AND exports... which is 95% full. At this time, the RAM/CPU/GPU are almost irrelevant.

    The program uses several types of main file. This first group is heavy with simultaneous reading AND writing files, and the best recommendation is to put each on separate if possible disks, using two internal connections or with eSATA or Thunderbolt connections for external drives. USB3.0 is NOT enough speed for reading/writing to these files. The other recommendation is to put the points 2-4 on 4 or 5 disc based on hardware RAID 0 or 5 table.

    (1) program file & library program (normally on the C drive or the system tools;

    (2) current work cache; database;

    (3) project files for each project;

    (4) samples;

    Now one-way operations...

    (5) media;

    (6) exports.

    The last two can be connected via USB3.0 necessary, especially when the other options aren't there. Note, however... to avoid the bottlenecks at export, have them on SEPARATE drives/devices gives a huge advantage. There is even a high-speed flashdrives USB3... as the unit of PNY 128 Gb I've got, that can work for both media or export, for about $40.

    If everything you changed was to load your media on a flash drive that I had used a second for exports, and got this second hard disk up to 50% of free drive, this project will literally several times faster.

  • Error caused by the remote control?

    Hello

    I just got a great help here, and everything worked.  However, now when I run the code, I get error caused by the remote command on my counter (Agilent 34461).  However, when I run in debug mode by clicking on the light bulb, this error occurs.

    The change I made was that I initialized the measure outside the while loop so that I didn't have any initiialize it for each iteration, and I added a reading?

    Any ideas why this would cause this error?

    After reading the Manual , I found that you really want to use "configures: currentC ' for your installation command.  Apparently, the measurement system causes playback to occur.

  • About precision (NI 9216 & NI 9217)

    Gurus,

    I'll have a test machine custom built by an outside company that is to include a cRIO OR with a few different DAQ modules; including 9216 NI and NI 9217 RTD modules. Our requirements of uncertainty (accuracy) for measurements of air temperature and liquid (RTD) are and 0.15 ° C 0.2 ° C, respectively. After looking at the technical details of these modules, I'm afraid they will show the temperature of 0.15 ° C justesses for the single module (4-wire mode). This seems to leave no room for uncertainty of RTD himself. I guess we have to take into account the error of stacking between the sensor itself and the data acquisition module. I am wrong in my reasoning, is there a DAQ card more specifies who may be specified, or are we simply not be able to meet the requirement of precision specified? Thanks in advance for any idea that you all have.

    Hello ckc8302,

    Thanks for posting your question because it always a good idea to ask and make sure that the devices meet the specifications.

    Looking through the sheets of these two devices, it seems that the modules themselves will not be able to meet your specifications.

    NEITHER 9216 Factsheet - http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/376921c_02.pdf

    NEITHER 9217 Factsheet - http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374187a_02.pdf

    In addition, I already tried searching throug our other c series modules and other materials listed in section below.

    Choose an RTD or thermistor measurement system - http://www.ni.com/white-paper/3643/en/

    The article also lists the 9226 and the 9219, but the two still do not seem to meet him your spec.

    It seems that the only capable card would be NEITHER SMU-4357, but at this point, you may need to revise your system configuration.

  • Negative results with strain gauges

    When I run my VI the results are always negative. I use the NI9237 with the NI9945. I wired my installation as one quarter bridge. There are three wires from the strain gauge. I went on the wires and I think it's okay / characteristics of NEITHER. Is there something in the MAX that I should be looking. Not sure why the values are negative.

    Thank you

    Harry Stone

    Hi Harry,.

    There are a few things I want to clarify:

    -Traction deformation is positive and compression deformation is negative, what is described a high level in the tutorial below.

    Strain with gauges
    http://zone.NI.com/DevZone/CDA/tut/p/ID/3642

    As strain compression is negative, you would see negative within MAX results if your strain gauge knows any compression. Please keep in mind that a shift can be associated with each transducer, that's why some sensors use a calibration certificate. It is produced by the manufacturer and is provided with the sensor as is the specific sensor. The sensor goes through a testing process to determine its actual response compared to the ideal. In this case, a scale of table can be created to include these values.

    How to do a custom able scale & Automation Explorer (MAX)?
    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/3F6558112FD2C776862575B5004F7F87?OpenDocument

    Not all manufacturers of sensors provide a calibration certificate. Or you can create your own table by placing known quantities of pressure, force, etc. on the sensor and map it to the corresponding voltage, or you can create a linear scale in MAX adjusting the intercept (b) the value necessary to remove any compensation.

    You use the NI 9237 that compensated supports deletion. A null offset is executed with the sensor fixed without load placed on the sensor. Actually, a measurement of voltage is taken and this value is subtracted off the coast of each subsequent measure therefore removing the start offset. This takes up space you creating a linear scale and in doing so manually.

    The two links below show how to use a custom scale created in MAX in LabVIEW, as well as coding the custom in LabVIEW scale to remove the dependency of MAX.

    Acquisition of DAQmx with custom scale
    http://decibel.NI.com/content/docs/doc-3706

    Create a linear scale customized for each channel AI in LabVIEW using DAQmx
    http://decibel.NI.com/content/docs/doc-11136

    I recommend using a task sequence. Input parameters for the information about your strain gauge needed to perform the conversions of strain. There is an example of a measure of deformation in the example Finder LabVIEW (* open LabVIEW * help > find examples) designed specifically for the NI9237 that incorporate deleting the offset and shunt calibration devices. If you do not have external wires connected for calibrating shunt such as cited in this document , you will receive an error. Here is an explanation from the NI-DAQmx help Shunt calibration (start > all programs > National Instruments > NOR-DAQ > NOR-DAQmx help) to help better explain this feature.

    Shunt calibration (adjustment of Gain)
    You can check the output of a measurement system based on a bridge by comparing the measured output bridge with a calculated value if the physical load on the sensor is known. NOR-DAQmx can then use the difference (if any) between calculated and measured values as a factor of adjustment of gain for each measure. You can simulate the application of a load at the bridge by connecting a significant resistance in parallel with the bridge. This resistance, known as a shunt resistance, compensates for the voltage from zero of the bridge. Because the value of the shunt resistance is known, you can calculate the physical load corresponding to the voltage drop of the resistance.

    Use the Shunt calibration perform the Assistant DAQ or DAQmx VI/function to perform a calibration shunt, which defines the the gain setting for a virtual channel. NOR-DAQmx then uses this adjustment of gain when you descale readings from the bridge. Some National Instruments products are internal resistance.

    This may seem like information overload, but I wanted to provide you with a detailed explanation of your understanding, in addition to immediate responses. As a logbook, I recommend that you use the 9237 strain example and use the removal compensation. Negative values are expected for compression and positive for blood. The handy Guide below gives an excellent overview of the strain gauges, which also includes a video.

  • import channels plan DAC fails

    (Sorry if I have a few names of block etc. not quite right;) I use the German version of DIAdem, where all names are translated)

    Hello

    I have a DAC scheme that needs to read two channels of digital data from the data portal and perform processing on these channels. The reading is done using the package treatment "read data" block. for debugging purposes, I have a "scope" connected block package to this block "read data". In parallel to the scope block, the data is sent to an external measurement system.

    When I put the channels that I want to address in the data portal and manually start the measurement (using the green button "Start the measure" in the toolbar of the CAD), the content of these channels is displayed in the scope, measurement system receives the data correctly and the DAC system works as expected - so in principle everything is correct so far.

    Now, all this must be controlled from a VBS script. This VBS script first runs the data portal, then wrote my two channnels in the data portal and finally loads and starts the DAC system (call SchemeLoad (...): call SchemeCheck ("Normal"): call MKSCheck (0): dial the SchemeMeasStart()). In doing so, the system fails, I do not see in the window of the scope of data and measurement system receives no data at all - as if no data was never read from the data portal.

    When I wemove the 'SchemeMeasStart' command (which is currently the last command in the script), run the script and then start the measurement manually using the button "Start the measure" above, everything works well again.

    So it seems I have a problem with access to channels of data when the DCA plan is started from a script. In I made a mistake here (e.g., lack of some script commands based on the DAC)? Or is this a known bug, and does anyone know a solution for this?

    Hello

    I created my own example in ball mode. Everything worked without problems. The script does not use the MKSCheck command. It seems that this command is not necessary to run a CAD program. When I added the MKSCheck manually, I had the same problem with the packages blocks.

    Since ball does not use MKSCheck, it must record this command simply jump and your DAC plan should work as expected.
