How to use N5771A DC power supply with LABVIEW

Hello,

 

I'm looking at getting at the N5771A DC Power Supply from Keysight and am looking to control this through LABVIEW. Could someone tell me how I go about doing this? Installing the specific driver from the Keysight website would suffice or is there anything else I need to do? 

Thanks

Hi,

I will be using ST- Link/V2( debugging & programming STM8 and STM32 Microcontroller), I need to know how to get the serial number and software version of this connected device with in labview. It would be helpful if anyone can help me out.

Are there any Drivers out there for a Sorensen DLM (LXI) series power supply using ethernet protocol?

$

I have a Sorensen DLM 60-10 Power Supply.  It has an ethernet port for programming.  I've used the same series of power supplies with GPIB, but the ethernet interface has me a bit stumped.  I checked the manufacturer's website, but all I find are drivers for GPIB (from many years ago). I have the instrument identified in MAX, and I can see it in the tree, but I can't seem to communicate with it.

 

Help please.

ni 488.2 update 18.5 - GPIB-USB-B not supported and GPIB-USB-HS not talking

Hello,

 

We've just updated our Windows 10 x64 DAQ machines to NI VISA 18.0 and NI 488.2 18.5. The machines were working fine with USB GPIB adapters using v 16 of the above.  Now we find that GPIP-USB-B are not recognized by windows ('Unknown device'), while GPIB-USB-HS is working properly in device manage, but show up as generic USB device, and not as GPIB adapter in NI-MAX

 

Please advise on a fix.

Hello friends!

In the company where I work, there is a machine that uses the gpib 488.2 PCI card 188513b-01 but it has some flaws.

Soon, we went behind another plate to replace and found a gpib 488.2 188513E-01L.

I wanted to know if there are any differences that make it impossible for me to use this model mentioned.

Thank you!

Hello all,

 

now I am trying to connect a Spectrum analyzer (4395A) to the computer with a GPIB-USB-HS(National instruments)

GPIB-USB is detected in NI Max. but nothing can be detected in Keysight IO library suties.

I have checked the Tulip box in NI-VISA option (passports).

 

 

And attached below is the captured screen of my NI MAX and Keysight IO library suties.

 

Any suggestion for me?

Thanks,

Jacks.

NI488.2 versions 17.6 and 18.5 fail to install

We could not install NI488.2 on the last few Windows10 machines (Version 1709 OS Build 16299.726) that were deployed to our lab. Both versions of NI488.2 stop at the "Overall Progress 5% Complete", "Installing Microsoft Silverlight 5.1 x64" progress bars. Silverlight Version: 5.1.50907.0 is already installed, but the date changes to the date of the attempted install (under installed updates).  Multiple Uninstalls and Installs got us nowhere. This is a new problem and did not experienced this issue with new computers deployed to our lab before October. 

Reference#7756459.

Any help would be appreciated.

Read measurement and digital values from Serial Port

Hi everyone,

I am working on Labview2017 for reading the measurement & digital values from serial port of a server (which is already configured all the field side signals and send the status and measurement signals through the serial port with different address). I already test the this Server port with serial (DB9) cable connecting to my laptop by checking on IEC Test Software; I can see all those signals in IEC Test Software (pic is attached) but I want to access those signals (Digital & Measurements) in Labview and also show them in graph (for measurement signals) and states (digital signals) in Labview while continuously reading the serial port.

Keithley 2450 Continuous current measurement

Hi, I am trying to use the Keithley 2450 with LabVIEW 2014 to make a continuos measurement of the current, that it receives from "Force HI" input. Manually I select on the instrument "Quickset", than i select "Ammeter", than i select the current range to "1A", and the voltage range to "20V", and than i read constantly the current. I want to do the same thing automatically with LabVIEW and view the Current value constatly. I have tried the Example program found at this link "https://www.tek.com/source-measure-units/2450-software-11" but no one of the example does what i want. I have tried to modified one of this program, but I can't even set the amperometer function. Can anyone help me? Thanks

Hi guys

I have question about communication between two cards. In one topic I found that the card does not support the slave mode, but the last post there is from the year 2013, so if anything has changed since then ?? and if it still does not support the slave mode, how can I start the communication between 2 masters ?

 

Thank you for answers


Andor Newton CCD Camera problem

$

Hi, I have a problem that I can't solve with my camera. 

I'm using the functions given by Andor to control the camera, in order to acquire spectra from spectrograph. 

 

The camera can be also controlled by "Andor Solis" proprietary software, and data from Solis and LabView is different. Seems that from my VI I'm acquiring only noise. 

Notes: 

- I'm working in full vertical binning. 

- my VI for each column gives me a value that seems counts for each pixel (almost 300)

 

I attach a VI with a simple version of the program. It doesn't have temperature control but in the real program I'm working with CCD at the same T in Solis and my VI

Hello all,

 

I would like to modify the example code provided by Tektronix to allow the user to select either a voltage or current sweep, sweep start and sweep end values (i.e. -1V to 1V), number of steps, bias value, and then graph the entire data. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Counterfeit GPIB-USB-HS Adapter?

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

I have two GPIB-USB-HS adapters that appear to be counterfeit. When I plug them in and open up NI MAX, a message appears indicating it is not a genuine National Instruments product. Tried registering the S/Ns, one appears as a "USB-9265 4ch current output, 0-20mA, 16bit" and the other "NI PCI-GPIB/TNT5004". Took a look inside, it has the NI ASIC and everything. From what I heard, they were working when they were first purchased which was a few years ago. Since then they haven't been used until I tried connecting one of them to one of older network analyzers yesterday. I talked with our buyer, she claimed they were purchased either from an Amazon seller or from eBay. Can anyone confirm these are indeed counterfeit and not some issue with NI's drivers?

Hi, my name is Francesco

I've already tried to address the Maker hub community but no one answers
 
How can I tell linx that I use the analogue a1 pin for the thermistor? Because both the pin cable and the attack on pin a1, it always detects me 273.15 degrees
 
Below I report the photo of the sub vi
I use a 100k ohm resistor
Thank you and sorry for my bad English
