GPIB/Solartron 1250

Hello

I am looking for information on the extraction of a data file of the bascially solartron 1250 Analyser.The file is a scan frequency of 99 points. I am in communication with the Solartron via card NI GPIB/488.2.

I can communicate successfully between the Solartron and the GPIB using Labview and the default template of GPIB.vi in Labview.Also using VISA OR interactive control allows me to communicate successfully.

Communication via the GPIB.vi or the VISA allows me to read the first line/point of the data file created from the frequency of scanning on the Solartron.I can produce results of 1st line/tip of the frequency sweep in a txt file using the viReadtofile within interactive control of VISA. However I can't out all the points of the sweep in a txt only once file.

If I scroll to the next point/line on the solartron, I can read that point by using the GPIB.vi and with VISA Interactive Control, write that in a txt file.

However, as mentioned I can not all points of the sweep in a txt output file at the same time.

Should be changed to read all of the points on the solartron VI. Can this be achieved easily? Is there solution VI for the extraction of all the points of the solartron data file?

Thank you

  • Solartron 1250 driver

    Hello Sir

    I already send a request to the dll for the driver solartron 1250 for Labview software. You didn't give any reply.in this instrument they provided GPIB.but it does not react with the fom of PC control

    can you find or make new driver /details or simply to give details for «how can I fix/make the drivrer»

    If you did an ask a pilot, OR develops drivers based on demand. If the 1250 is like instruments Solartron who do not have a driver, so it's really old and if a driver has not been developed in the last 10 years, it is not likely NOR will develop one now.

    You have two options. You should first ask Solartron if they have anything. You can develop a pilot yourself. The homepage of The Instrument Driver Network , are links that explain what a driver is and how to develop one. You can use the Instrument i/o Assistant. You can hire someone to develop the driver for you.

    If you need help in debugging the code you have written, you will need to provide more details - such as the sent commands, error codes reported, etc..

  • Using NI USB-GPIB controller Zeiss C90 CMM control

    I have a Zeiss PCDMIS CMM running 32-bit on Windows XP with PCI GPIB (488.2 2.7.3)

    If the controller is 8 bits, but work with my 32-bit system already, can I export the config VISA file, change on a 64-bit of Windows 7 with a USB to GPIB computer, and import this file into a newer version of the driver 488.2?  (change of bits or a more recent version of 488.2 will be a problem?)

    Hi Ryan,

    As long as you save this export config file, you should be able to load it into the second computer MAX.  I can't find anything that says that there will be problems with the little change.  If you are really worried about it however, give it a try without getting rid of your original computer.

    It seems that you already know how to transfer the settings above, but here's a KB on how to do this http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/BF528312C9A5423A862565BC00731EC0.

  • 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.

  • GPIB-USB-HS shows no MAX after that I used the wizard NI VISA DRIVER

    I accessed GPIB USB HS in the MAX software. As I was not able to communicate NF RLC remotely, so I tried Wizard DRIVER VISA OR according to tutorial Assistant pilot NI VISA , however, thnings went wrong and I am not able to see same GPIB to the MAX software now. What should I do now?

    The first picture below shows the GPIB USB HS as shown in the software MAX and the other image shows no GPIB USB HS.

    Yet once I installed driver USB GPIB link below:

  • 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.

  • VXI by GPIB on LV 2009 + Windows 7 help

    Hello.  I have no experience with VXI.

    I have a client who got hired to encode a VXI product that has been marketed as controlled by GPIB (the chassis contains a GPIB interface).

    I was informed late last night I have to use Plug and Play VXI drivers to make it work.  (Long story and I am not happy about).

    I'm coding LV2009 SP1 on Windows 7.

    I installed NI-VISA and NOR-VXI.  I can see the GPIB instrument in MAX.  I can even run the SCPI via Max and LabVIEW controls.  (The problem is that they have apparently not applied specific GPIB commands that they published).

    They provided a VXI - PNP driver and very vague instructions.  I installed this driver and I have imported their .fp file in LabVIEW.  When I run the init code with the right GPIB resource passed into the function, I get the same error when I call a non-existent GPIB device - even if it takes more time to get back.

    I searched for VXI tutorials on the site of NOR and there are a LOT of things to go, and I'm not even sure that I have all the necessary drivers.

    Anyone know a good place to start to read up?

    (And Yes, I'm dogging people instrument to help me too)

    Hello

    You will need a driver OR to communicate with a hardware OR. The driver you need is NEITHER 488.2 and can be found here for Linux:

I want to set a new IP address for her, but I was not able to know what is the default IP address, so that I can put IP my computer and subnet mask to allow me to find it on the local subnet. I have read the manual on the device and searched the forums and knowledge base, but could not find anything. I know I saw it somewhere in the past when the setting of some of them before. Does anyone have this info? Thank you.

    Holmes,

    How do you try to connect to your device? You connected directly via a cable crossed, or connected to the wall? If you have not tried to connect directly, please try this.

    Many KnowledgeBase articles for this device have been archived and are is no longer being updated, which may explain the difficulty finding. Try the one below for setting up if you have not already.

  • GPIB-USB-HS and USB-8451 communication issues - appearing only in VISA

    Hello

    I recently started a new job and have had communication problems between my adapter GPIB-USB-HS, my VISA or MAX-Labview and USB-8451 I2C/SPI interface.  I installed LabView to 32 bits, OR-488. 2, the driver for the 8451 on my windows desktop and VISA 16.0 7.

    In the windows Device Manager, the 8451 appears as a device USB of NI-VISA and Gbspecifications FOR-USB-HS presents itself as a GPIB Interface of NOR.  Two of these instruments are recognized NI Max so but communication Gbspecifications FOR add-in adapter (and connected instruments) fails and he can't find the instruments and the self-test fails with a hardware error unknown gpib (-37052).  The watch also neither device VISA Interactive Control.

    The ready light is lit on the GPIB-USB adapter and the 8451 flashes green as if nothing is wrong at the end.  I uninstalled all the software of NOR and reinstalled, and I run MAX as an administrator.  Is there possibly some computer settings I could neglect or need to change to open a communication?  Any other ideas on why I can't communicate with devices?

  • Data acquisition using the USB-GPIB 82357 B interface for 4395 impedance Analyzer has:

    Hi all

    I tried to communicate Analyzer 4395A impedance with interface USB GPIB 82357 B using the command of expert keysight and Labview module tutorial. I couldn't able to find orders of SCPI (Standard for programmable Instruments orders) for 4395 A impedance Analyzer in the expert keysight command. Please help me on the subject of what are the other possibilities to acquire data from the Analyzer of impedance 4395 A using the interface USB GPIB 82357 B.? Is it possible to get LABVIEW plug & play drivers for USB-GPIB 82357 B interface? Our main goal is to control the parameters of impedance measurement and draw F vs IZI and theta vs F as well as get parameters of equivalent circuit on a PC with LABVIEW GUI.

    Can't wait to help.

    Hello!

    I agree with 'heavy '. For more information on how to program a 3rd device contact the manufacturer because they have the knowledge. Unless there is already a LabVIEW driver for this device, you would have to implement that yourself and need information from the manufacturer.

    Regarding your question if the GPIB-USB is unsuitable, it is quite easy to answer: If you want to communicate with a peripheral GPIB NI GPIB-USB can do this. But you would probably need a driver to use the GPIB of meaningful communication bus.

  • GPIB has not detected when connected to the internet

    Hello

    I have keysight power supply connected to the PXI-8880 via GPIB, it does not detect when it is connected to the internet & it was detected when its not connected. Any body can help me to solve this problem.

    Hello

    This problem occurs because of a conflict in present multiple network adapters in the system. It was a question that has used for detection of targets ethernet to the system that has been resolved. But then this question has also resolved to do the same thing. You can follow the link on how to change the order of the present network adapters in the system.

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/FD9E1AF5AB1343098625736F0076DE6B

    You must also make sure that the IP addresses of the network adapters are different, otherwise conflict can happen also.

  • GPIB-USB-HS will recognize any instrument in LabVIEW but somewhat done in MAX - help

    Hello

    I'm having a problem getting my GPIB-USB-HS device to recognize instruments in LabVIEW.  The unit has been running year last on many instruments.  I tried the GPIB-USB-HS other materials too just to make sure it wasn't a defective unit.

    NOTE: I installed the latest drivers for NI-VISA 5.1.1 and 300 of NOR-488. 2 for Windows XP

    See the images below:

    It's the idsplay to the MAX:
    I'm not sure why there is a yellow "!" next to GPIB0::INTFC, I think it's an indication of my question.  However, note that the instruments connected to my GPIB-USB-HS are counted in MAX.  As you'll see LabVIEW 8.5 does not recognize them.

    I get this error Max warning when I try to open TOOLS > NI-VISA > VISA INTERACTIVE CONTROL:

    It comes to the image of my LabVIEW 8.5 window when I try to select a VISA of an instrument (including MAX recognizes):

    Thank you all for your help,

    Problem solved after hours of uninstallation and reinstallation of all devices/software from National Instruments.

    Once all programs have been uninstalled (with a disk cleanup on my unnecessary hard-maybe records)

    LabVIEW 8.5.1 has been reinstalled

    NOR-DAQ has been reinstalled

    NI-Visa 5.1.1 has been reinstalled

    NOR-488. 2 worm 2.7.3 has been re-installed (correctly)

    Now, LabVIEW recognizes all ports/devices and connects to the instruments properly once more.

    My question must have been installing LabVIEW 8.5.1 after already installing LabVIEW 2009.

    Somewhere during the installation of 8.5.1 - main post problem occurred.

    Currently, I am trying to connect to a controller PI E-712 has an ENET port on a windows 7.

    I have a converter NI GPIB-ENET/1000 and a GPIB-USB-HS cable and want to use the ENET end for the controller and the GPIB for contact with the computer, but is it possible? Or does only for GPIB-devices of connection for calculating rusing ENET?

    I have the drivers on my computer, namely the NEITHER-488. 2, IMAX can detect the GPIB connection and the cable has a light orange on the loan. Lights green ENET-converter for power, ready and the positions of the Act/LINK but nothing either of the GPIB for speak and listen to the lamps.

    Thank you for your adivce.

    I am sure that tha the device does support ethernet. The problem is, however, that we cannot connect the ethernet to the computer itself. We do not actually use Labview but a program called DMACS, that's why we want to use GPIB on the end of the computer.

    The NI GPIB-ENET/1000 will not work for you. It is an Ethernet to GPIB device. Your instrument is not a GPIB interface.

    I'm not familiar with DMACS.

Any idea? Thank you.

    It is a very old and unsupported. I have not downloaded so I don't know if it uses VISA or GPIB low-level functions. You specify a name, address or the resource before you run it? What is the error you get?
