HP 54510A Digitizing Oscilloscope HPIB bus

[stefanparr]

Hello, I'm trying to make a hysteresis-measurement with a HP 54510A Digitalizing Oscilloscope. Can anyone tell me how I can get the data from the HPIB bus to be displayed on my PC? I guess I need a software program to do that?

Thanks

Stefan

Yes, you would need a program to do that. What programming language do you have?

[stefanparr]

I have Labview 6.1.

I see you asked for the 6.1 driver in the LabVIEW board. You might want to download it and attach it to your post and ask if someone can convert it.

Hello Stefan,

      I have attached the LabVIEW 6.0 version of the instrument driver.

Cheers,

thx. Is there any help file, how to build the program?

[Dennis_Knutson]

There is an example that shows how you might use some of the functions. Turn on context help and see descriptions of the controls/indicators.

The driver is pretty old, does not use VISA, and has no error handling. It would need considerable work to be even close to standard.
