tektronix pws4205

Hi,

 

I just got a power supply Tektronix PWS4205 with the software SignalExpress Tektronix Edition.

When I try to program/mesure the voltage and the current with LabVIEW Signal express it works fine but when I try to generate the code (by LabVIEW diagram), I only get a sequence with a stop button in the new VI...

I tried to generate another program from the example folder and I got nice VIs (from the express VI palette).

I am probably doing something wrong but I didn't find out what.

 

I am working on LabVIEW 2010 with VISA 5.1.2.and SignalExpress Tektronix Edition

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi nicocmd,

 

If you were able to get this to work with an example my guess is the problem is with your SignalExpress project. Would it be possible to post the necessary files here so I can try to replicate this problem? Also, if you could provide a more detailed description of what you are trying to do in SignalExpress so I can see if there are any minor details that may have been overlooked.

Hi Patrick,

 

I just found out why I had this issue...

I actually forgot to check the ''record'' check box for the signals I wanted to measure in the ''recording options'' tab (''signal selection'' category).

I was trying to initialize a 12V singal until the user click on a ''stop'' button, then cut the power off.

 

Thank you.
