Making of FDD adjuster GPIB of Agilent E4438C

Hi guys, I am very new to Labview, but very interested to use it to control my Agilent E4438C signal generator. IM generating a signal to 2.7 GHz with a bandwidth of 20 MHz. Im interested in the FDD, so I had planned to produce another signal at 2.4 GHz.------.

The problem is, I only have one of this generator. It is-

-Can I use labview to control the signal generator to generate a signal to 2.7 GHz and store in labview and generate another 2.4 GHz signal and store it. Then the multiplex in labview itself and then control/inject the signal in the generator of signals for transmission.

IM generate this signal signal Agilent, software studio.

Please advice on this. Thank you.

Can I use labview to control the signal generator to generate a signal to 2.7 GHz and store in labview?

Yes

Generate another 2.4 GHz signal and store?

Yes

Then the multiplex in labview itself?

Yes

and then control/inject the signal in the generator of signals for transmission.

Unfortunately no.

As I understand it, a signal generator or a function generator can generate a signal which is a function of time. For example: Sin(2*pi*t*f)

Where f must be set as in your 2.4 or 2.7 GHz signals. Because we want to do is combine the signals to give a resultant of the 2.4 and 2.7 GHz signals, there's no single f conponent. so we can not specuify for the signal generator.

How ever there is something called an arbitrary signal generator, where you can spend the waveform data, and this can generte the signal. LabVIEW can certainly gather your two signals combine both and then pass it to an arbitrary signal generator. But unfortunately the signal generator can not do the job.

So I guess that there are a number of options.

Buy an Arbutary Signal Generator... or another generator of signals.

Sorry I could more than summer help, but if you have any further questions, the questions or points we give a cry.

  • Can not find the tourmalines usb gpib interface (agilent io suite) max

    Hello

    I try to use my USB-GPIB Interface of 63488 TAMS in LabView.

    There is a manual for the use of the TAMS Interfaces in LabView. You must uninstall all Suite of IO with the exception of the CLCL-pieces. The problem is, this option is not given in the new versions of the suite that run under win7 (14.2 +). And according to driver download site, you need to install Suite 14.2 +. It is misleading. On my request for a manual for the use of a newer version of the suite I don't got no answer so far, so I'll try on own and with your help, I hope.

    To do this, I have installed on my Win7 x 86 system:

    -LabView 2009

    NI-VISA 4.6

    OR-488. 2 2.73

    -Measurement & Automation Explorer 4.6.2

    -Agilent IO Suite 15.5

    -TAMS pilot 63488 v1.2

    The driver of the TAMS works on my system. The Agilent connection Expert I see the interface and the device connected. And I can connect through this connection.

    To use this interface in LabView, I activated the NI-VISA for Tulip passport, but I had no new device in MAX I tried to activate the Agilent GPIB cards for 488 programs in the Expert of the connection, but it was not the solution.

    So I checked the DLL. The GPIB - 32.dll is replaced by Agilent, so cards Agilent must be enabled for 488 programs. But the info for the t6348832.dll says "TULIP DLL for the USB/GPIB T63488". If the 488 option can take effect, but why I have no effect on the activation of the passport for a Tulip? Any ideas?

    Thank you for your help and support.

    For someone who has this particular problem:

    I have found a small workaround to solve this problem. For this you need a Suite of Agilent, which will uninstall VISA without CLCL (review of Agilent IO libraries M.01.01 should be the last). With a tool like 7Zip, you can unzip the single installation file to get the installation files. Now you must enable the compatibility mode for Windows XP on the installation application before you install the libraries. After that, you can proceed as described by TAMS:

  • 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.

    LabVIEW is currently not able to see my 3632 on the bus A VISA, but the Agilent connection Expert he sees very well.  I am at a loss as to why NI-VISA do not.  Help, please!

    Thank you

    Sean

    Thanks for the replies, but I found it finally.  The Agilent IO 15.5 Suite library helps:

    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.

  • Cannot read the GPIB of Agilent 8757D

    I am unable to read a 8757D Agilent. I can write commands to the device, but the answer has expired errors when starting to read or the device displays HPIB ERROR and crashes. I tried all known applications in LabView to try to establish the comms. The device does not recognize the * IDN? command sent to VISA during the execution of the measurement and Automation Explorer. Here, any help would be appreciated. PS IR not a programmer please KISS thanks for your answers.

    First of all, MAX does not use VISA when you try to locate an instrument on the bus. It uses the functions of low-level GPIB. You can thus use it in MAX and send the order to the IO. That's what the instrument uses instead of * IDN?

    Second, make sure that you send the correct end character. In MAX, add the command above with a \n. It is a line break and that's what the manual says that you should use.

    I know it's possible to use LabVIEW with this instrument, because I wrote a pilot for him returns with LabVIEW 4. I don't have the code, however.

  • Problem to run Agilent GPIB with NI-VISA card: recurring at Agilent VISA 32 report of open conflict that all things set correctly...

    Hi developers OR,.

    I have a recurring problem to correct my installation using a labview and Agilent GPIB card.

    Of course, the well-known configuration tips are generally defined:

    -Agilent VISA a VISA secondary (by-side mode)

    -the passport for tulip is enabled in NOR-MAX

    -OR-488 support active in Agilent librabry suite 16.1

    I uninstalled and reinstalled any component twice, but still get the same error message when I want to talk to a Keithley 2400 EMS:

    -Firstly, the agilent GPIB interface is correctly recognized expert Agilent connection and NOR-MAX

    -Then the instrument of 2400 keitjley initially works correctly in Agilent connection Expert and NOR-MAX

    BUT: when I try to send a command to the device (whether through the wizard or VISA using the Labview instrument driver), the tool returns an error (error "Application incomplete" punch followed immediately by a second "Invalid while in the local" error code)

    At the same time, the Manager (32 open report VISA) conflict in expert Agilent connection says "NI-VISA has returned an error. "There is a conflict of interface between NI-VISA and VISA Agilent". He suggested that the conflict occurs when different interfaces receive the same number of interface in the two VISA.

    Therefore, aware of the conflict that can occurs in a side-by-side installation, I tried to change the ID of Interface CLCL's Board of Directors in the Agilent connection Expert (from gpib0 to gpib9) and restart, but it did not help.

    So can you help me solve this recurring problem?

    Is it necessary to also change the VISA interface ID, or address of the GPIB Board Agilent GPIB in connection Expert? Wouldn't be the same address (9 for example)?

    I really do not understand.

    Sorry for this new message on the configuration of this topics, but I found no useful advice in the forums.

    See you soon,.

    Yoyo87.

    Finally, I got my system running after several tests, although I couldn't use NI-VISA as first VISA (allowing the tulip passport) with agilent VISA (permit for programs OR-488) at the same time.

    I uninstalled it all components of NOR and the agilent and re - install in the correct order (OR first, followed by agilent): nothing has changed.

    I check for updates of agilent and NOR and use several different versions of VISA at the same time: nothing has changed and I still communication errors when you try to send the order through NI-VISA Interactive control or labview (although it worked well by expert agilent of connection).

    I don't really know why, but I solved my problem by installing Agilent VISA primary visa. In this way, even if I do not see the Council of Agilent in NOR-MAX, I can always send control of GPIB instruments by labview using their VISA address or aliases defined in connection expert Agilent...

    I am always interested to understand why I was not able to run the two VISAs on my system with agiulent only one card PCI GPIB... so if one of you sees a clear reason for this...

    Thanks in any case, even if I don't have a lot of response on this topic...

  • 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:

    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.

  • Activation of passport tulip (GPIB) in MAX made series buffer flush fail?

    Hello

    I apologize for my English is not my mother tongue.

    My situation:
    I use labview, and I want to measure the voltage using a multimeter to 34401 HP with GPIB (using an adapter USB-GPIB to agilent). In addition, I want to order an engine using the interface RS232 (ISEL engine control unit).
    Therefore, I use the RS232 interface of the computer (on the motherboard). Both tasks were developed separately and work fine enough independly. My task is to join the two parts and that was I have problems.

    Problem:
    Case 1:
    In MAX, I activate the Passport (NiViAsrl.dll) VISA series (disable all others)
    -> In Labview: all the Subvi series work very well.

    Case 2:
    Activate the Passport VISA GPIB (NiVisaTulip.dll), Max (disable all others)
    -> In Labview: all the Subvi GPIB work very well.

    Case 3:
    In MAX: Activate both at the same time
    -> In Labview: the GPIB works well, but not the Subvi series. The "VISA of e/s Flush" VI says error-1073807299 (mask of the invalid buffer).
    Here is a link to this error: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AD03F1520934D67F86256D4B001DC2CE
     
    Of course, I checked the mask and that's as it should be (16). And it works again as soon as I disable the passport of Tulip in MAX.

    More information:
    -It is only related to this Passport GPIB in MAX, the GPIB device should even be connected.
    -Serial connection settings are default and as it appears for the engine control unit.
    -L' effect also takes place in the minimal examples (init the device and directly try to rinse)
    -J' tried another computer with Setup and it fails too (same software involved, including all Passport/drivers).
    -J' tried to reinstall labview and passport/driver, always the same.
    -L' computer: its a windows 7 64-bit company, but a 32-bit Labview 2014.

    My guess:
    The passport of tulip mess with tampons and I do not find the option to change this.

    I tried searching the forum and the internet, but I couldn't find a solution. Any ideas?

    Best regards

    Hello @ all,

    as a result of what we were doing right on the site:

    the problem occurred because the rest of the Agilent IO has caused a sort of driver problems. It seemed that it is not a problem of LabVIEW but an Agilent. Instead of using the most recent version, we went to the ' Agilent IO libraries Suite v 16.2.15823.0. The relevant question would be: why this version? Because this was often used by me in other projects without any problems and the installer was available...

    If anyone is interested to dig deeper into the problem, do not hesitate. For now, it seems that the old version does the job.

    Greetings from Berlin.

  • GPIB initialization

    Hi all

    I am a beginner in LabVIEW, especially on the control of my instrument (vector Network Analyzer, HP8714C) using the interface GPIB/USB (Agilent 82357 B). I can get the information about the interface GPIB on MAX, but I have an EVDR error when I run the LabVIEW<->GPIB.vi.  I try to initialize this GPIB using GPIB initialization function, is this correct? When I run this VI I found error again. I don't know what kind of error. I just joined the GPIB initializaion according to the MAX.

    How can I solve this problem? Thak you.

    Looks like you are trying to use the GPIB to lower level functions. You should not need to do. You must, instead, try to use VISA. Is the 8714C just a version of different frequency of 8714B? If so, you can try the drivers that are available on the IDNET.

  • Reentrancy in ansynchronously called live

    Hi all

    Recently, I developed an application that uses widely one communication GPIB Subvi, who writes a query and reads the responses of a single machine. To avoid collisions, I deliberately put this VI as not reentrant.

    The Subvi is called by another VI, of course.

    Now, please look at this situation: I have run several instances of the appellant in an asynchronous way? We'll respect the policy of non-reentrancy?

    I have hard times debugging the monstrosity that I created and I think I'm on collisions here.

    Please, share your ideas. Thank you.

    EDIT: I would be grateful if someone would like to share also a method of verification instruments GPIB (namely Agilent ENA) is ready for the query. I would implement this mechanism just to be sure that the non-reentrancy is respected.

    Dear McTom

    Yes, when you call a non-reentrant VI anywhere in your code, even in calls asynchronous, only one copy will exist, so all calls to this function will have to wait their turn before the end of the call running.

    If you need a more sophisticated approach, let me suggest your communication GPIB of migrating to another loop. You can create a queue to send requests to this loop and pass the reference of the queue all the asynchronous calls. This way, you have the possibility to monitor the State of the loop (number of items in the queue of the current item, status) as well as some manipulation of advanced queue (priority, hunting queue messages).

    Kind regards:

  • LabVIEW: Failed the request for Identification

    Hi all

    I am new to LabVIEW and all of the subject instrument interfacing.

    First of all, I am trying to connect my HP8110A pulse generator from my computer using the GPIB/USB (Agilent 82357 B) interface, and I NI-VISA (5.4) and Agilent VISA all installed respectively. I have NEITHER-488. 2 installed as well (3.1.2).

    When I connect the machines together, I can find my Instrument and GPIB on config MAX and IO and LabVIEW I can find the Alias for my insturment in the menu dropdown. I guess that this suggests that they are well connected.

    What I doubt is that when I connect my insturment and find on MAX, so I try to find the instrument for LabVIEW Driver, I can see my instrument under connected Instruments > HEWLWTT-PACKARD

    When I click to install it, I find (in fact it me does not conduct research, because it cannot identify the manufacturer).

    So what I did, I installed Agilent 81110 it supports rather than I can see model HP8110A. Is it bad to do?

    Other that that, when I run the Test VISA Panel on the instrument, I get an error when I try to read and it the error message: timeout expired before the operation is complete.

    I tried to change the time-out and the bytes to be read the settings but still nothing changes.

    Finally, on IO config when I try to activate Agilent 488, I get a window asking me to restart computetr thr and try again. I did this and still had the same thing.

    Can you please help me with all these problems, and tell me if they are related?

    Concerning

    Of course, you will get an error in query ID as you use the HP81110A driver to control a HP8110A. The driver expect to receive the HP81110A of the * IDN? query, so it will generate error-1074003951 (0xBFFC0011) if the received string is different. Any wire a Boolean constant False on the pod ID query the Initialize vi in order to bypass this check.

    Note that some old devices do not meet the * IDN? Request, but I don't know if the case of the 8110 has. Regarding the compatibility of a driver, you will need to check the manuals to see if they use the same commands.

    It's a shame that we don't know anything about your system, but it's the way things work here so I can give you some general tips about this message:

    If you mean see messages like this:

    No disk, Exception Processing Message c0000013 parameters 75b6bf7c 475b6bf7c 75b6bf7c

    Some people think that people there may be to not to use the device safely remove feature (and maybe), but I never use Safely Remove Hardware with external USB devices and I don't have this message for you if you can't understand it and other things work very well, you can tell XP simply can't show this message when there is no reason.

    Until you can determine what the 'real' problem is with your hardware, you can disable the pop-up message by making a registry adjustment.

    Before making changes to the registry, back up your registry with this free and easy to use tool popular:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Regedit

    Click OK to open the registry editor, navigate to the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows

    In the right pane, check the value of the ErrorMode setting.

    If ErrorMode is set to 0, double click on ErrorMode and set 2 (2 = disabled).

    Click OK to save the changes, and then click file, exit to close the registry editor.

    Reboot your system and check the things now.

    2 to the parameter ErrorMode stops at pop - up message but still material error log in the Event Viewer log.
