Hi Cally,

 

Good Morning and I hope your well today.

 

Thanks for your post concerning how to set the unit Ratio A/G.

 

Using the ni.com/idnet (Instrument Device Network) I can see the Audio Precision do have a driver from the ATS-1. Are you using this?

 

However, I am sure your aware you can simply write your own code in LabVIEW using GPIB/VISA commands as the ATS-1 has a GPIB interface. You must remember to install NI- VISA and NI-488.2 (GPIB) Drivers to use these VIs in LabVIEW.

 

From the Audio Precision website I can see they have an ATS-1 GPIB Programmer's Reference Manual and ATS-1 User Manaul. The reference manual for programmers should give you a list of the commands and what they do. These are the same commands their driver will use. I wonder if there is a command in the manual? I am afraid I currently can't access these manuals as I don't have a log-in. But if you do have these materials, I'd be more than happy to take a look through to help you find out if you can/and how to set the unit to ratio A/G.

 

If you are new to LabVIEW or GPIB/VISA in LabVIEW you can find some simple examples in the NI Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples..) and search for GPIB. You must use the correct address.

 

How Do I Fix Error: 1073807265 occurred at VISA Write

This knowledgebase explains how to find the instrument address of your GPIB Card.

 

Troubleshooting if you can't see the GPIB card in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX)
 If your not using an NI GPIB Board then make sure you enable 488.2 support.
I hope this advice finds you well and Please let me know your thoughts,
Kind Regards
