TEK DSA8200 Programming Help

Sorry IF I have broken a forum rule, but I also posted this in the Labview forum. I really need help. Thank You

 

I am very new to labview programming. I am trying to make a VI that controls a TEK DSA8200. I have the tek instrument drivers installed. I have reviewed a TEK DSA 8200 programming supplement that walked me throught this VI; however, this simple VI example only shows me how to display one channel on the scope.My question is how do I set multiple channels to be displayed while using labview. When I try to connect two controls to the "set channel to display" icon, I get an error saying two controls cannot connect to the same data source. Is there a way to build an array, matrix. cluster...something (again I am very new to labveiw) in order to set multiple channels to be displayed. I have attached a screenshot of what I am trying to accomplish incase I did not explain it correctly.

You need to have two set channel functions.

 

Before you do anything else, take the LabVIEW 101 tutorial. Then go to the Instrument Driver Network to learn what a driver is and how to use one.

I am using the VIs, provided by the "tktds8000" driver to interface to the DSA8200, but the initialize.vi is producing an error, "Error -1073807305"

Using MAX>>Devices and Interfaces, I can see the DSA8200 device under Network Devices and GPIB-US-HS

 

OS: Windows XP sp3

LabView v12.0f3 (32bit)

NI-VISA 5.2

 

What is your set up like?
