Hey Naser,

Have you tried searching NI's Instrument Driver Network (www.ni.com/idnet)? I did a quick search for "1002B" and came up with this driver:

Tektronix TDS 1002B

Have you tried running NISpy?

There appears to be minimal setting, have you have used an Auto scope setting or default setting? Also how is it handling any errors?

[Naser1363]

Thank you.

What is NISpy? I don’t know about NISpy.

I use default setting what is Auto scale for x and y. It has not error. VI is running without anything in scope.

This is output of NI I/O Trace.

please find the attached file. without error.

Is CURV?" the command sending back the data for the chart?

If so what is in the VI to convert the data into the correct format for the chart/graph?

[Naser1363]

Would you please tell me how can i convert data into correct format for chart/graph?

If this is the data, then you will have to convert the string to decimal.

65.  VISA Read ("USB0::0x0699::0...:C062162::INSTR", 100000, "#12...")

Are you fimilar with LabVIEW?

Are you able to look at the block diagram of the VI you are running?

Dear Ray Farmer

Thank you so much for your helping. I will try to convert the string to decimal.

I want to know what means 65.  VISA Read ("USB0::0x0699::0...:C062162::INSTR", 100000, "#12...")?

I know "USB0::0x0699::0...:C062162::INSTR" is for Tektronix device.

But I dont know about 100000 and '#12...'.

Would you please tell me about this data?

Thank you much again
