Measuring intensity versus wavelength

[lasersea]

Hi all,

I would like to write or get a program in LabView to measure the intensity versus wavelength for an IR light source. I connected the a light chopper to a Lock-in Amplifier (as a reference signal) and I connected the output of the photoreceptor to the "signal A" in the Lock-in Amplifier, and the output is connected to the computer via GPIB.

Is there a code for this task? I am new to the LabView, so your help is highly appreciated.

This is a type of a task that you usually will have to write the code for yourself.

At the very least, you need to provide the make and models of all instruments. There may be existing code/drivers for them. Did you try to find them yourself with Help> Find Instrument Drivers?

Thank you both. I am using Lock-in Amp. of EG&G 5205 and I looked at its driver in the NI website but I have not found it (and I asked them to provide it). However, I found similar models (i.e., EG&G 5105, 5210).

Hi Tariq,

Firstly, welcome to the NI Discussion Forums!

As mentioned by nyc, it is unlikely that exactly the correct code exists for this particular task. Am I clear in thinking that you would like both help developing your LabVIEW application as well as find instrument drivers for you to communicate with with your EG&G 5205 Lock-In amplifier?

A great place to get started with LabVIEW would be the Introduction to NI LabVIEW guide which can be found here.

The following links may also help you with regards to the instrument drivers. Getting Started with Instrument Control: https://learn.ni.com/learn/article/getting-started-with-instrument-control-hardware-and-labview

Dear Chris.. Thank you very much for this helpful reply and information. I will start looking at these links and I think they will be very useful.

Best regards,
