I am currently using an Agilent 4156C Parameter Analyzer in conjunction with a Princeton Instruments Spectra Pro 2500i in a LabVIEW vi which allows me to measure photocurrent of my device vs wavelength of light. In order to do this, I have a piece of code that coordinates the following process: Adjust wavelength of light, measure photocurrent, and read measurement data. This was done using the set of sub vi's provided by Agilent.
Problem:
After 20 iterations there is an error -1074000000:
Possible reasons:
Instrument Reports: "+17 unable to display data. Not enough memory"
I have taken over 100 sets of data in sweep measurement mode so I doubt that the machine is actually running out of memory. It could be a different case now that it is in sampling mode. I am taking 100 samples per measurement iteration.
Solution?
I am not sure if there is something wrong with the way I am iterating this process or if it is actually a limitation of the 4156C I am using. The only thing I could think of for a solution would be to somehow clear the measurement data in the 4156C. Is there a way to do this through LabVIEW code? I do not see a sub vi provided by agilent which can do this. I also do not want to restart the device to accomplish this.
My vi is attached along with the heirarchy required to run it. Sorry, it is a bit messy.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I am very new to LabVIEW and could use some guidance.
Thank you.
