le croy wavereunner 104 xi : how can I see it on MAX

[thibaut_del]

       Hello everybody

First I'm french, so excuse me if my english is not perfect.

I have problems to pilot lecroy waverunner 104 xi through Ethernet : I downloaded the VICP passport, I configured my network and it does work (when I send ping requests they communicate together) I downloaded the last version of NI VISA 4.5, I downloaded the drivers for this scope. In spite of all of this, I don't see anything in the Max tree and I don't understand why.

When I enter the IP adress on MAX, there's an error : VISA error.

If anybody can help me, it would be very very nice because I need to achieve that for an internship.

Bonjour Thibaut,

Alan from LeCroy Tech Support here... Let me say first that your English is much, much better than my French!

To allow the scope to be visible in the tree in MAX as a TCP/IP resource, you will need to use the scope's LXI interface instead of VICP. I've attached an application note that describes LXI and how to add or automatically find LXI instruments in MAX. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  We also have tech support available in France; their email address is applications.fr@lecroy.com

Best Regards,

Alan

Hello Alan

I succeeded in piloting the scope and I thank you for that. I had to upgrade my firmware to use the scope, what I've done successfully.

I have another problem, which is smaller : I pilot the scope in order to read mesaurements from it. I've succeeded in doing this. Yet, I'd like to have more displayed numbers : If the frequency is 9.2154 Hz, it displays only 9.  And when the frequency is 302.487Khz it displays 302.

I've used Lecroy examples to do this.

Thanks for answering.

Hi Thibaud,

Which VI are you using?  I find that the driver returns a floating point result.  The problem might be that your indicator is setup to be an integer, or that you do not have it setup for any decimal places.

Best Regards,

thanks for all alan but I achieved to solve my problem. It was a problem of . instead of ,   I 've used a box whiwh seeks a string and remplaces by another.

And it works, it was not a problem with the scope but a problem with Labview.

Thank you again
