Cursor measurement using AG6000A Driver

[Abhay_eg]

Hi,

I am using a AG6000A Driver to control my MSO6012A Oscilloscope.

Can you please tell me how to control and take the cursor measurements from the same into the LabView VI?

Thank you.

Hello Abhay,

       If you have LabVIEW 8.2.1 or later, I recommend that you use the Agilent 6000 Series LabVIEW Plug and Play (project-style) Instrument Driver.  When I searched through the instrument driver for "cursor" no results were returned.  If the cursors are purely for the manual interface, than they would not be supported in most instrument drivers.  If you are interested in getting other data about the waveform, I recommend that you look at the Read Waveform Measurement VI.

       If there are cursor commands in the programming manual, you can add them to your copy of the instrument driver.  That is one of the many reasons that the source code is included.

Cheers,

NathanT

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you please direct me to the programmers reference manual for the driver?

Cheers,

Abhay

There is no manual for the driver (or any driver for that matter). You should be familiar with the instrument programming manual and refer to the function help and control descriptions. I would suggest you find the cursor commands in the manual and then search for the text in the driver. If the commands do not exist, you will have to write the code yourself.
