16902a

I would like to know how to obtain a driver to communicate my logic 16902nd with labview 8.5.

Thanks.

As you have probably found out, NI does not have a driver for it. I believe this instrument is similar to the 16700 system. It's a pc with some cards in it and a program is provided by Agilent. It is not at all like your typical instrument. If you search the forum for 16700, you'll find some discussions about using ActiveX to control the Agilent software.

Oi!
I am another problem with my logic is not contacting the labview via lan.
But all is set right with my PC give the ping command and it appears certain.
Will not have to install anything on my PC?

Thanks

I don't know what you mean by the instrument is not contacting LabVIEW. How are you trying to connect - via the TCP/IP functions?

[8845a]

Yes I am trying to connect by TCPIP.

I have no experience with this instrument but you might want to expand a little bit on what you are attempting to do. As I understand it, the instrument is a pc with some slots for cards that generate/read digital patterns. Do you want to set up a client/server connection? What kind of program is running on the instrument? What kind of error do you get?

Well I have a Logic analysis system 16902nd and I do is connect it to a computer to receive the data generated by a chip.
And I am labview 8.5 but the instrument is neither connecting to labview, I ja set the IP in the instrument but the programs the labview not detect it in the system. Will I have to install something to labview detect the instrument?
We sent the ping command and he thinks the instrument by way MSDOS.

I still don't quite understand how you are using LabVIEW to connect to the instrument. I asked if you were using LabVIEW TCPIP functions and you said yes. At this point, it doesn't matter what protocol the instrument is using, you need to provide some information on what code you've written and what functions you are using.

[8845a]

This is the code that I use.
But the mistake is in the first block.

Thank you for your help

Okay. It doesn't seem like it's LabVIEW that will not connect. It's the ActiveX method of the Agilent code that will not connect. Do you have a high level application program from Agilent that you can try? If you do and that doesn't work, then I would say it's definitely not a problem with LabVIEW. I would also make sure that you have any firewall turned off.
