Data Acquisition with Agilent U2356A

[jason.lariviere]

I am a first time user of Labview and am trying to write a program to utilize an Agilent U2356A multifunction DAQ.  I can't find a specific Labview driver for this model so I am using an IVI driver.

At this point I've been able to initialize the unit and configure the channels I want to scan, but I am having trouble reading the data from the unit.

Any help at this point will be greatly appreciated.   I have attached the base of which I am working with.

Thanks again,

Jason

Jason,

I have been playing around with this for awhile and also reading through the U2356A Help and Examples.  Agilent provides a C# example that does an aquisition, and I have tried to translate that VI into LabVIEW.  Since I don't have an Agilent DAQ, I cannot test this out in any way, so no guarantees.

Ben,

Thank you for the response but unfortunately I can't open the file.  I am currently using version 8.5 which won't allow me to open your file.  Would it be possible to re-save the file? 

Thank you again.

VI saved for LabVIEW 8.5

Ben,

Thanks but when opening the new file I again receive the message:

"LabVIEW load error code 9:  VI version (8.6) is newer than LabVIEW version (8.5)."

Sorry to be an inconvenience.

It's no inconvience.  I must have posted the same VI again.  Try this.

A certified LabVIEW driver for Agilent U2300 Series will most likely be available in Q1 2009 on IDNet.

Any update on when this might be available?

The driver might be finished by the end of March. Please check again in mid-March. Thanks!

Any word on the driver for the Agilent U2356A?  I'm purchasing this unit, and I need a driver quick!  Thanks a lot..
