Beginner question absolute to the Labview with GPIB connection device

Hi all

Firstly, sorry if my question is already posted, but I tried searching with nothing doesn't.

My situation: I have a HP digital osciloscope, a HP 54602 B using the GPIB and trial version of labview 8.6. Now, I want to communicate with her from labview. The big question is: how? Before that I used only labview with NI DAQ card and serial port for communications of the instrument.

the detailed question

1 is it important (to programming in labview later) what GPIB interface that I use in my computer? Must be of OR? I still have no interface right now.

2. I ran a search on the osciloscope Web site of NOR and find an instrument driver in:

http://sine.NI.com/apps/UTF8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E93F7659CE034080020E748...

. How do they come?

3. I know there are a few examples for the GPIB, but since I do not have the interface, I can't try it. Is it possible to simulate instruments GPIB?

Thanks for all your help and assistance

Hi opiq;

Welcome to the world of instrument in LabVIEW Control!  I'll try and answer your questions one-at-a-time:

  1. N ° from a point of view of LabVIEW, you can use any interface supported by VISA and your instrument bus.  This includes (but is not limited to) boards of NOR-GPIB, 3rd-party GPIB, USB, LAN, LXI, VXI, PXI, etc..  Of course, if you do not have a GPIB interface, I would recommend a NEITHER - this is the safest way to get the experience 'it works '.  I tend to use an adapter USB GPIB (DISCLAIMER - I work for the OR).
  2. You have two options for installing the device driver.  "" The simplest is in LabVIEW to select Tools "Instrumentation" instrument Drivers find... and use our instrument driver search tool which will be step helps you locate, by downloading and installing the driver.  The other option is to download the zip file, unzip it in \National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\instr.lib and restart LabVIEW.  So if you look in your palette of instrumentation, you should see the driver listed under instrument drivers.  The pilot will include some examples of the use of the driver (are all certified instrument drivers).

    In fact, I would recommend this driver rather than that you connected.  It is a more modern design and install examples in the viewfinder of the example ("Help" find examples...).

    Here's a video of the above process (for a different instrument, but the process is the same)

  3. Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to simulate this instrument.  I would just recommend familiarizing yourself with the examples before acquiring a GPIB interface.

  • How to open the labview with function of Labview program to stop smoking inside?

    Hi any idea how to open the labview with the Labview function program to stop smoking inside?

    I forgot to add and define the condition of the type for this program.

    If the program is an application, she closed immediately.

    If it is still the work of labview, it will go directly to editing without closing the program.

    I so need to retrieve, open it and make some changes.

    Hello

    I have a room that uses the Watlow F4 controller with GPIB connection. I want to control it by sending a recipe of Labview. I found this driver on the Web site OR:

    Not 100% sure it's the correct driver

    I intend to use a GPIB to USB converter. If anyone has a model of VI I could begin that would be great.

    Thank you very much

    LabView Newbie

    That looks like the correct driver.  Since it uses VISA, you should be able to use the serial or GPIB without having to change anything.  It should be an example in this driver as well as you could use as a starting point.

    I have Microsoft Vista Home Premium edition. I use the data card (broadband +, model - HUAWEI EC1262) to connect to the internet.
    I get error 633 whenever I try to use the data card to connect to the internet on my laptop. He says that "the modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly" and preventing me from accessing Internet.

    I tried with a different brand of card data, but still getting same error. Map data even works on another laptop with Win7.

    I did all the options like:
    1 uninstall and reinstall modem drivers
    2. release the COM port and the new port assigng

    We always get but same error. Any solution for this problem would make.

    Have you tried system restore? If you can restore the system to the date where it worked fine maybe it will work.

  • The Web of LabVIEW user interface directly to the sensor with Ethernet connection

    Hello

    Is it possible to connect to the interface user Web of LabVIEW directly to a sensor with Ethernet connection?

    By directly, I mean without using any Web Service LabVIEW VI.

    Thank you

    Marcelo

    Hello

    The only communication with other devices using the Web user interface designer is through web services, either motorized or not LabVIEW. To connect with a sensor with the generator of the user Web interface without using LabVIEW, the sensing device must be accessible via HTTP and give you a way to read its data using XML web services based on.

  • 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.

  • Question related to the entrance with pci 6221 and SCC 68 analog

    I use 6221 PCI and SCC 68 analog read of voltage between the terminals of the drain and the source of a transistor. The drain is at 0 Volt and source is connected to 5 volts via a 100 k resistor. The transistor is used as a follower of the source, and therefore the output is measured at the source of the Terminal. When I measure the voltage by using oscilloscope, I see clearly the change of output as a result of change of voltage of the door. But, when I try to acquire the same by using labview, I see nothing. I tried to change the signal to the CSR, NRSE, but nothing works. Seems to be that something related to differences in impedance. Can you please advice me on this issue? Thanks in advance

    Hi rsd111,

    I understand that you measure a circuit similar to this ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_drain)

    I also get that you use an external power supply with GND connected to the Drain and - 5V connected to the Source with a 100 k resistor.

    You should be able to measure the tension between D and S setup a differential measurement and connection Ai0 + D and Ai0 - s, in fact you can youse Ain you prefer.

    You should be able to do the same measure also at configuration NRSE linking Ai0 AiSense at the Source and drain.

    The Board's input impedance is greater than 10GOhm, it must behave as the oscilloscope in pairing mode high-impedance DC.

  • Question by using the fingerprint reader to connect to Windows 8 on Elitebook 2760p

    Hey all. The fight currently with my 2760 p to use fingerprint for you the reader connect to Windows 8 x 64. I currently have all the other pieces of the puzzle installed, because I found in older subjects, but when at the login screen, sliding my finger does nothing and it only invites me to enter a password with no option for the fingerprint.

    Installed...

    (1) validity sensors WBF driver 4.3.100.0

    (2) HP ProtectTools 8.0.2.1341 (applied the registry patch to get the install to actually work)

    (3) HP SimplePass 6.0.100.252

    It is a new installation of Windows, so no real applied changes.

    I have my fingerprints stored in SimplePass and I can save to other sites. But, if I block my computer, Windows shows an icon of a keyboard with my username next to him, said to "Verify password" and a place to enter it and another option at the bottom of the login with SpareKey screen. Sliding my finger does nothing. I checked in SimplePass and tick the option to connect to Windows with the reader. Am I missing something? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    A ditch all that HP bloatware and restart. Uninstall everything.

    All that I have a clean installation of Windows 8 Pro x 64 was to get the starter edition of Authentec Truestuie. I don't have an elitebook not sure if it's the same manufacturer, but you can get it on the manufacturer's website.

  • Backup DR with vRanger connection devices

    Having Dr. devices dealing with VM backups on-site, but one of the questions that arise is the time of the backup. It takes about 8 hours to backup the SQL files every night. Just to let you know its all upwards in a virtual machine environment.

    Can incorporating vRanger of connection or AppAssure with DR unit affect backup performance?

    Is there a whitepaper on this?

    Thank you!

    Hi Geeka,
    Depending on how you are currently using the device DR with vRanger connection, your current solution could be improved.

    If you are simply using the DR as a CIFS share there is another way.

    vRanger connection also supports the Dell RDA technology, which can provide a level of deduplication side source.

    Consider implementing vRanger connection Virtual appliances (one per host), or one per cluster, your choice, the virtual devices include technology of the GDR.

    Configure the virtual machine backups to cross Virtual Appliances and target (GDR/RDS) container on the Dominican Republic.

    The backup will be a snapshot of the virtual machine, but use hot add technology to fix the disks to the virtual appliance, data are then broadcast through the virtual appliance to the GDR DR container. At the point where the data leaves the appliance virtual it's pattern matched with data stored on the Dominican Republic. All blocks that match are not sent.

    This reduces network traffic and allows backups to do more.

    If you want to add the technology to the protection of SQL as an agent-based application, then take a look at NetVault Backup, it will be directly interfacing with SQL via VDI or VSS, providing full, incremental and differential backups. It's agents also include the GDR technology and can provide source de-duplication to a DR GDR container.

    AppAssure also has an agent and can protect the content of the full virtual machine, including the SQL instance, but it will require its own server and storage and does not directly allow the DR unit to store the initial backup data. It can create Archives of data sets that can be moved from AppAssure on the good DR database server, but it's more for long-term storage.

    I hope this helps.

    See you soon,.

    What can I do with the usb camera?

    can I change the color? hear the sound? you guys can suggest me to do if I get to work with the web?

    OK, back to topic.

    A classic exercise would be the detection of changes such as the detection of an object moving for security, etc.. Expand on that and save images when movement has been detected. Another step further, to subtract the background of the object in motion and present a sequence of images of just the moved object.

    Too exotic?

    That level down to a manually-initiated process to do a "what's new? It compares a before and after picture and shows you what has changed.
