Labview program connecting waveform generator to Scope

NMSU — Mon, 27 Jun 2005 15:21:55 GMT

HI THERE:

I'M LOOKING FOR A LABVIEW PROGRAM CONNECTING A WAVEFORM GENERATOR WITH AN OSCILISCOPE. I WILL APPRECIATE IF THERE IS ANY. TIPS ARE HIGHLY WELCOME TOO.
THANK YOU MUCH

Hi NMSU,

In order to answer your question I need to know more about your configuration.

What kind of Scope, and what kind of generator do you have? Are these devices National Instruments products, or are you communicating with them through GPIB?

Additioanlly, what version of LabVIEW do you have available?

Best Regards,

HI EVAN R:
THE WAVEFORM GENERATOR IS TEKTRONIX AWG 2021 AND THE SCOPE IS ALSO TEKTRONIX TDS5104. AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CONNECTED BY GPIB.

THE AVAILABLE LABVIEW IS 6.1.

Hi Sami:

The best thing to do here is download the instrument drivers for your two devices. You can search for instrument drivers at from the folling site:

Instrument Driver Network

Below are the links you can follow to get to the specific instrument drivers you are looking for:

AWG 2021
TDS 5104

For the 2021, you will notice that only LabWindow/CVI drivers exist. What you will need to do is download these drivers then import them into LabVIEW. This can be done in LabVIEW by going to Tools->Instrumentation->Import CVI Instrument Driver. After this you can find the VIs in the Instrument Driver subpalette within the Instrument I/O palette on the block diagram.

You've hijacked another another thread with a question that is completely off the original topic and you've posted to the wrong board. Please post this as a new question and make sure that when you click the 'Post Question' button, you select the Instrument Control board. This board is for NI signal generators.
