33120A driver intallation

Hi,

 

I want to install Agilent 33120A function generator driver, after downlaoding, I extract the files into the instir.lib directory, but still when I run LabView, it asks me to open files..

Could you please tell me how I can install the driver,

Thanks

What do you mean by it is asking you to open files?  Is it not finding them and is searching for them and asking where they are when it gives up?

 

When it's trying to load them, it should tell you what path it is trying to find the VI.  When you get the VI open and it shows you missing subVI's, turn on context help and hover over them.  That would also tell you where it is expecting to find the subVI.  Compare that to where you actually installed them

 

It is possible whoever wrote the VI had them installed in a non-standard location in a path that you don't have.  Close the VI and open it again.  When it is searching for the VI's go to the standard location where you installed them on your machine and pick them out.  You may get lucky and it will go and find the other subVI's automatically as you go.  Or you might have to repeat the process for each of the missing subVI's.  When done, save your main VI so that it will remember the subVI locations the next time you open it.

Thanks for your reply.

I attached a screen shot when I hover on help, but in insit.lib , I don't have hp33120 folder.

 

I tried to isntall driver agilent 33XXX series, but inside the folder, I don't see the files which labview wants.

 

Even, in labview/tools/instrumnet, I can't see the driver of 33120A under installed driver

 

Thanks

I guess the driver hasn't been installed.

Could you please help me how to install it?

when in instir.lib I open the folder of hp33120a, I can't see any file with .llb format.

 

Thanks

The 33XXX drivers replaced the 33120 drivers.  You'll have to find the equivalent files from 33XXX to replace them with.  The names should be similar if not the same, althought the wiring may be slightly different

Well, there are a couple different ways.  The one specifically pointed out in your image (Configure Output Impedance), you can replace with the function as shown in the attached image, or you should find it at <labview folder>\instr.lib\Agilent 33XXX Series\Public\Configure\Configure Output Impedance.vi33XXX.png

 

If it isn't there, you may not have installed the drivers properly

Thanks for your reply.

My main question is, when I run my VI program, while loading it asks me some .vi (especillay for the FG) that I used them while writing VI.

I tried to change some of them, but I can't find some others.

Just I need to have  a folder with some .vi files in the dircetory of instr.lib

How can I find it ?

I installed what ever I saw in National instrument website...but nothing...

Thanks for your reply.

I managed to replace all of them,

but for resource name, could you please help me out, what I should replace,?

In VI, in the instrument field, there is nothing(VISA) so I can select it.

This is  just a simple frequency sweep in LV,

I'd appreciate any help:)
