• Connection of an instrument with GPIB-USB connection.

  I am trying to use a GPIB-USB adapter to control a unit of Source of LabView. However, I have problems my instrument drivers to recognize the GPIB address specified for the device. I have attached an image below the address specified by IO Keysight connection Expert. I am currently trying to initialized the EMS with the GPIB driver I have attached below. Because of my knowledge limited in LabView instrument control, how should I approach of collecting the correct address of GPIB and recognize it in my VI?

  Hi wyattcurtis824,

  Before we dig into the LabVIEW code, I would recommend a Test Panel of max aperture and trying to communicate with. Are you able to send orders via Keysight connection Expert or NI MAX and see the valid data?

  In addition, when you run the vi in LabVIEW, is pilot it returns an error in the error on the box? If so, what the error is?

  This shoule information help us to the root of the problem.

• Place HP 34401 in Local with GPIB-USB-HS Mode

  Hello

  I'm using LabVIEW 2010 SP1 to control the 34401 HP with the NI GPIB-USB-HS device. I use I/O built-in 34401 instrument drivers.

  If I plugged in everything, the 34401 will be immediately placed in "Remote" mode when I run my software. However, I would like to be able to use LabVIEW to force the 34401 to 'Local' mode Unfortunately I could not find a way to do this. I tried Close.vi, but has no effect.

  Here are my planned operation if it makes things clearer:

  1. Launch the software
  
  
  2. Initialize the 34401
  
  
  3. Place the 34401 in the 4W resistance measurement mode
  
  
  4. Pass the 34401 in "local" mode so that the end user can adjust a knob until the desired resistance is obtained while seeing the value of the resistance to change on the 34401
  
  
  5. Re-initialize the 34401 when I need to switch to another measure

  If not, is there a way to get the 34401 to permanently display how it is taken in remote mode?

  The feature I mentioned does exactly the same thing except that you have to do this awkward analysis of the address. It's a VISA function you have just used the search button to find (and have lit context-sensitive help) to obtain explanations of what he does.

• Synchronization and optimization of keithley-Labview with GPIB-USB

  I started an old thread on this subject, but I have some new problems. My vi is to control a Keithley sourceMeter to read measurements every 5 ms for 6 to 10 hours, using GPIB-USB. The vi simply sends the commands under a full script to the instrument and then bed measures (voltage and current) in a loop using the visa and saves the data and displays them in a second loop using a queue. I decided to use a queue and a second loop due to the delay caused by reading data, save them in a file + display, all in a single loop! I want to be able to see all the data with real time axis, so I used a xy chart.

  Having a shorter time in the upper loop isn't a bad idea.  Using the wait until the next ms multiple rather than just the Dequeue wait time can cause the occasional time jumps.

  I have no LV open now, so I'll try to remember your VI.  I think you picked up 3 data values and a timestamp of each 5 ms.  It is 800 items every second. If you want to save all the data but only write to the file every 5 seconds, you will have to accumulate 4000 items. Because file entries are not always made exactly when you ask them because of the behaviour of the OS, you must allocate a bit more wide open spaces.  You can initialize an array 2D as 1200 X 4 (1200 lines of 4 columns) of NaN. Place this table into a shift register.  Every time you Dequeue data, replace the next line with the data.  When you write to produce, use the subset of the array to get the part that was replaced with real data and write the part in the file.  Return the initialized array of NaN in the registry to offset and continue to replace the data.

• Agilent 82357 B GPIB/USB, problem with distributed applications

  Hello everyone,

  I am developing software that communicates with an instrument, with USB, RS232, Ethernet and GPIB interface

  On my development PC, I can communicate with my instrument using a 82357 B Agilent GPIB - USB converter, without any problem. (and other interfaces as weel)

  I have deployed the application using the Installer application on the target computer Builder. The application works with USB, RS232 and Ethernet interfaces, but I don't see the GPIB interface in the control of VISA resource name.

  I followed the advice given by OR when you use a converter USB GPIB of Agilent (Tulip active...)

  I did the following tests on the target computer:

  -J' installed MAX, and I can communicate with the VISA test panel using the GPIB-USB converter.

  -J' made a small application with the VISA resource find included

  -If I unplugged the converter USB/GPIB instrument, the VISA to find the function return resource: GPIB0::INTFC, COM3, COM4, LPT1 COM7

  -If I plug the converter to the instrument, the function of resource VISA finds return nothing.

  -If I run the interactive command of VISA, I got the following error:

  Cannot find the resource by using expression? " »

  error: BFFF003A

  Name of the State VI_ERROR_INV_SETUP

  I'm using LabView 8.5 under windows XP.

  I have included in the installer

  -Run LabView 8.5

  -VISA 4.4 duration

  The target computer is running Vista.

  Thanks for your help and your support.

  Hello everyone,

  For your information, I have solved the problem in desinstalling then reinstalling my installation software on the target computer.

  I still don't know where the problem was, but it's working now. (even with the version of the driver 15.0 agilent)

  Thanks anyway for your help.

• Driver for Keysight 34461 A DMM instruments works with GPIB, errors with USB

  I try to remotely control a DMM of 34461a Keysight using the driver of instruments located here:

  http://sine.NI.com/apps/UTF8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=21589

  The pilot of the aircraft works like a charm the DMM is connected via GPIB, but it error when connected via USB.  I've isolated the problem to "Default Instrument Setup.vi".  When this VI is called in the case of USB, the device is left in a State which translates by a later call a time-out at VISA Read.  The only way I found to get the instrument still talking after this occurs error condition is turned off.  I have an another 34461a with the same behavior, is probably not a hardware problem.  I can successfully run the example 'Agilent 3446 X series Acquire Single.vi' via USB if I remove all calls to "Default Instrument Setup.vi.

• Connectivity of VISA GPIB/USB Agilent 82357 B

  Hello

  I'm under LabVIEW 8.5 on a 8106 PXI controller.  I connect to an Agilent E3632A DC Power Supply via an Agilent 82357 B GPIB/USB cable.  I installed the Agilent IO 15.5 Library Suite and have NI-VISA 4.4.1 installed as well.  All my gear of PXI chassis and NEITHER appear in MAX.

  Activation of the NI-VISA for Tulip Passport

  For software OR recognize the Agilent material, you must activate the Passport NOR VISA for Tulip. It is a software module that is included with NI-VISA for support of Agilent material and is not enabled by default. Use the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX NOR) to activate the passport for Tulip.

  In versions 3.0 and later of NEITHER MAX, you can do:

  Beginning NOR MAX
  Click Tools > NI-VISA > VISA Options...
  In the tree, select passports.
  Select the passport for the Tulip checkbox.
  Click Save to save the settings
  Output OR MAX, wait a few seconds and restart NI MAX (you must restart NI MAX for your changes to take effect).

  For details specific to your version of MAX to OR see documentation of NOR.

  ----------------------------------------------------

  It worked like a charm.

  Thank you

• Streaming (record) data of Agilent 6674 interface GPIB-USB powered

  Hello

  I would like to save the output in more than 200 HZ to my power supply CC 6674 A Agilent with LabVIEW 8.2. Agilent 82357 A GPIB-USB interface is used to connect the power to the computer. And I used the instrument for Agilent 66XX driver I downloaded from OR.

  For reading continuous data, I put the read.vi in a while loop and data saved by writing in the file lvm. (just for the starter, not a good sense, though) Please see the attachment.

  The problem I have is that I can only save data in ~ 10 HZ then that what I need is at least 200 HZ.

  It's my first time to the instrument control and I just had a little experience in the acquisition of data before. I had some confusion as below: no I have gained a point each time the while loop is executed? If so, I guess that the time for each loop (and therefore my data rate) depends on my operating system and the computer I have.

  How many points will be acquired whenever the read.vi is run? That depends on the set 'count bytes' in vi or a single point anything? Are there other ways to get the data more efficiently? (want to write your own driver etc...) Any help would be much appreciated.

  See you soon,.

  Bohan

  The rate at which you can run the VI is dependent on the instrument/GPIB bus and use of Scripture on a Measurment file. Yes, you get a voltage reading and a current reading with each iteration and the number of bytes read is so that you can get a complete reading.

  I suggest you delete the entry in the file of the measurement of the loop to see how long takes of the instrument. That would be your maximum rate. If it's fast enough, use a different method to save the data. Architecture of producer/consumer if you pass the data to another loop via a queue would be a way.

• E4407B works not with NOR-GPIB-USB-HS

  My E4407B Agilent does not work with my NOR-GPIB-USB-HS. I tried two different E4407B Agilent and 2 different NOR-GPIB-USB-HS, so I doubt it's different devices. The E4407B will not be displayed in the solutions of measurement and Automation Explorer. I tried fiddling with the matching settings listed here, but without result. What I need to make this work? I spoke in support of agilent and they claimed it wasn't my NOR-GPIB-USB-HS, settings on the Analyzer.

  Nevermind, I figured it. The NOR-GPIB-USB-HS is apperently not make good contact with GPIB port on the monitor, even if it is screwed to the bottom. I plugged the adapter to a GPIB cable, then GPIB cable to the parser, and it worked fine.

• How to use traditional nidaq with a USB-GPIB installation

  Hello

  When I tried to install the interface GPIB-USB on my computer it tells me I must uninstall nidaq traditional, but I need nidaq traditional also.

  Is it possible to have both installed and functional? Is there a work around?

  Help, please... Thank you

  Darryl Huggins

  Thank you for your response Dennis,

  When I went back to look at the message I think he wanted me to uninstall a driver inherited NOR-488, so I advanced and uninstalled.

  But he said traditional legacy of NOR-DAQ. I was unable to see my card GPIB with Max is why I wanted to install the USB-GPIB.

  After installing now I am able to see the card GPIB and USB-GPIB interface. Must of had a bad driver, I suppose?

  So now I will run another test to make sure that NEITHER-traditional DAQ still works also. But so far so good.

  Thanks, Darryl

• Connection of GPIB USB HS TWO agilent instrument (power)

  Hello

  I'm fighting to control two power supplies (E3631A) Agilent using GPIB USB HS connection.

  But they are not detected as TWO different power supplies regardless of STAR or linear connection.

  However, when I try to set up a power source and a Tektronix oscilloscope, they are considered TWO different instruments.

  Single power supply control is also OK.

  So, I'm wondering how to set up TWO power supplies.

  I enclose the code VI to not control than a single power supply and want to extend to the version of the two instruments.

  you have configured the power to two addresses different gpib?

  This is needed!

• How old, a driver can be used with the USB-GPIB controller?

  Hello, I have a litter of Nicolet who I'm trying to control using an NI USB-GPIB controller and a Nicolet provided the program. The software were made in 1995 and told me it was made to work with the NI AT-gpib cards and I would need to use a pilot more OLD, BUT I don't have access to one of these cards for a purchased a USB-GPIB, hoping that it would work. A pilot more FORMER will support the GPIB-USB?

  Sorry for you, but not

  This is a really old software and works only on the driver to the gpib.

  Written in LabVIEW software would go from before this date.

  We have 236 Keithleu and software vision lab and GPIB-USB-HS. I had the GPIB software installed is OR-488. 2 3.1.1

  Now, I had the indication like that.

  1. in Kethely no indication

  2. in GPIB +'s got orange led in ready icon.

  3 but if I runt the program I found no results.

  So can you me the interfacing of the keithlye and alo for the GPIB and also computer.

  Regads.

  The pilot here can help you. I suggest you first learn how to set up the action manually. Then study the programming guide to understand what commands you need and the settings for them. Good luck.

• Driver XP GPIB-USB-A has not installed with NI488 - 2.8.1

  I have the DVD driver for August 2011, and I installed NI488 - 2.8.1, which should have the GPIB-USB-A driver in it. I plug it in, and Windows cannot find the driver for it. Is there a specific folder, I do so he could find the driver?

  According to the readme, it is not supposed to be the - one support and has not been supported since version 2.2.

• OR GPIB-USB-HS + NI GPIB-USB-HS vs

  I have a visual basic program 6 which measure IR using a meter of high resistance of agilent 4339 B.

  The existing work PC running Windows XP and use the NI GPIB-USB-HS and works very well.

  The original code uses the 32-bit Visual Basic Language Interface Version 1.7 of National Instruments with the DLL of NOR-488.

  When I try to use the NI GPIB-USB-HS + controller it does not work. I installed the new driver for the NI GPIB-USB-HS +.

  I uninstalled the driver and returned to the NI GPIB-USB-HS controller and re-installed the driver appropriate for her and the program works.

  I tried to implement the same program on another PC and could never get the program to communicate with the tester using the

  OR GPIB-USB-HS + controller.  That is when I decided to check the controller has worked on the original PC and discovered that it is not.

  I also had the same problem with communications with the bridges of cap and had to re - write programs using NI-VISA that the

  OR GPIB-USB-HS + works fine when with.

  I would have thought the NI GPIB-USB-HS and the NI GPIB-USB-HS + both work on the same application without any

  code changes just and necessary update the driver.

  I thank in advance for any help, you can provide on this subject.

  Thanks - I made some progress on that yesterday.

  It turns out that the initial program had the primary address of the hard coded device.

  I added logic to get the main address of the device and I have replaced the hardcoded with a variable value.
