Hello,
I am currently trying to make a labview program that can collect waveform data from my LeCroy 9450 and dump it into a file that excel could plot. I also would like labview to display the current waveform . I set up a simple code (just for testing purposes) using the LeCroy 9420/9450 drivers here http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E933A659CE034080020E74861 and simply setup the Get Waveform.vi with a chart readout. Initially, the waveform matched and I was able to write to a text file and get the proper data. However, it seems that whenever the instrument is turned off or some other factor, the Get Waveform.vi doesn't create the proper waveform anymore (in fact is quite distorted).
I contacted NI about this issue to ask for help but they said nothing was wrong with the code and to check my hardware. I put my oscilloscope onto an old computer with ScopeExplorer software and could pull off the proper waveform so I figured the instrument is not the problem.
Being an older model, there is little discussion on this instrument so I'm at my last option of asking here for help. Any would be appreciated.
