help talking to hp 4141

[Adam G]

Hello,

What problems are you running into? Have you been able to communicate with the device using Test Panel in Measurement & Automation Explorer?

Best Regards,

Foremost, thank you for your rejoinder. I have been able to communicate with the HP 4141B on MAX but on a limited number of commands. If I send the command string ID; to the write visa, and press on read it gives back a read out however this is not always the case as the read visa gives out a timeout error (especially for commands such as XE,TI). I have been looking for VI for the HP 4141 but to no avail, do you know where one can source them or do I have to reinvent the wheel. Thank you

Hi Danowam,

Looking around on the Instrument Driver network, there isn't a pre-built instrument driver for the HP 4141.

If you want, you can request for the instrument driver by going to:

http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/

From there you can click on the request instrument driver link at the top.

Thank you!

Hi

I am also attempting to communicate with this instrument. Would anyone have a vi for this istrument that I could use, or even a partial vi to develop further?

Thanks very much

Hi bj,

Unfortunately National Instruments doesn't currently have a driver for the device.  However, if you would like National Instruments to write a driver in the future, you can visit the Instrument Driver Network page and click the Request New Driver button.  The more people request the driver, the higher the likelihood of us developing one.

Did you try looking in the Instrument Driver Network? http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=1145

[dabao]

yeah，but it's not supported.I'm in China,maybe there have restrictions.

[smercurio_fc]

What's not supported? Accessing the page, or downloading files? If you can't download files, then how are you going to get it, even if we put a copy as an attachment to the message?

Did you try again? The NI.com web site was having problems earlier.
