Hi,
I want to control my HP (Agilent) 8452A spectrophotometer by LabView 6i. The 8452A is connected via HP 82341 HPIB board. My operation system is Windows 95.
I downloaded an instrument driver from the Instrument Driver Network web site (http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/eaa35f50aabc2a9c862568ab005fbcfa). Then according to http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/e56d3d4866be0a8a86256942006626f0 , I installed HP-SICL (ver. H.01.02) and NI-VISA (ver. 2.6 runtime). I could enable NiVisaTulip.dll Passport. VISA Interactive Control showed GPIB (hp82341, hp82341), GPIB0::18::INSTR, GPIB0::INTFC, GPIB0::SERVANT. (Certainly the HPIB address of the 8452A spectropho
tometer is set to 18.)
However, I can?t understand the following steps. What should I do in MAX (ver. 2.1.3.14), NI-VISA or HP I/O config utility? And how to do?
The spectrophotometer doesn?t response at all using the 8452A instrument driver and a sample VI included in the driver. (I can control the 8452A by original HP software, to be sure.) Or, do I have to modify the block diagram of the driver VI? But I have no idea how to change it.
Thanks for your help.
