I Want to Capture Waveform from Agilent Scope using GPIB interface: with VISA

[srinivasan.accent@gmail.com]

Hi,

For my application i have to capture the graph waveform from AGILENT Oscilloscope DSO6032A using GPIB - USB interface.i don't want to use Express Instrument I/O Device. Instead of that i have to use VISA Configuration i can give the command throught Write VISA and Read the data from Read VISA.

For the command as :wav:data? it'll give capture the waveform from Scope i wanna display in GRAPH in Front Panel.

You should convert output from VISA READ to interger( use convert function in String tool).

You should really be using the driver. Ask for it to be downconverted.

The conversion process is a bit complicated. If you want to use the binary format, look at how it is done in the driver. Image below.

Hello,

        I highly recommend that you use the existing LabVIEW Instrument Driver for your instrument.
