[妮妮妹子]

hi,helping! how to control the functions of aglient Oscilloscope via USB connecting PC?  better to give example

[nyc_(is_out_of_here)]

To control via USB, the scope would need the ability to be controlled by USB. The manual would tell you that. Consider reading it.

Personally I prefer Ethernet if it was available.

actually ，i use Ethernet  to control,but i do not how to deal with .if you have any idea?

[妮妮妹子]

i do not how to solve this ,and i just prefer to use usb.

If you have VISA installed and of the scope supports USBTMC, the scope will show in Measurement and Automation Explorer.

yeah，i know ，but i mean ,i want to use  the command issued by labview to control a function of the oscilloscope , such as adjust the horizontal scan rate .how do i to do?

It would be more convenience for you to use the instrument driver to contorl the scope instead of sending single commands directly. After you install a driver, you could find and use it from the Instrument IO folder in palette in black diagram. When browse into the palette, you could find almost all the function provided by the SCPI interface of that instrument.

e.g. you should find the "adjust the horizontal scan rate" covered in some VI of that driver.

i downloaded agilent 6000 drivers from NI, but there is no Module i wished.  i can not find the "adjust the horizontal scan rate"in that driver.and so i think about designing module.

[妮妮妹子]

 can you  give me some schematic about how to find the module of "adjust the horizontal scan rate"?thanks!

I am not quite sure but would you please try "Configure Timebase.vi" in that driver?  The Timebase or Min Record Length paramter seems iswhat you are finding for.
