agilent 34410

[AnnaOTS]

I am programming with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 in C#, and I need to do an application to get 1 sample every 100 usec during 5 min using USB’s communication.  I have currently read 50000 reading from the internal memory. But It would be very grateful to know how can I get 10000 reading every second directly to the PC.Can you help me?   

Sincerely,  

Anna.

There are two drivers listed here that you could use. I'm pretty sure that Agilent has a driver as well. For future reference, the Instrument Driver Network is where you would start serching for drivers or an explanation on what a driver is and how to use. Also for future reference, you posted to the wrong board. This board is for NI DMMs and not for DMMs in general. Yould would want to post to the Instrument control board.

You'll also want to review the instrument manual to verify that a 100usec interval is even possible.

 edit: just looked and it appears that for the 34401, the maximum count setting is 50000.

A DAQ card would not only be cheaper and faster, but you would not have the sample count limitation.
