Can I get a driver for an older version of Lab view

[Agupta]

I need a driver for SR 530 lockin amplifier for Labview 5.1 version. The OS is Windows 95.

I can download the driver for the latest versions of labview, but all my other work is on the older version.

I cannot connect to internet from that system, is there any way i can get this driver.

Hi Ashutosh,

This driver:

http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E959A659CE034080020E74861

appears to require at least LabVIEW 6.0.  I haven't been able to find a driver for version 5.1.  If you have a newer version of LabVIEW, you can open the driver VIs and reproduce them in LabVIEW 5.1.  This is a plug and play driver that just uses GPIB commands.  Instrument drivers are only available as a download.  We don't have a hard copy of the drivers to send out.  You can always download them to a USB key or a floppy disk to transfer to your computer.

Here are pictures of the vi's in the lockin amplifier. I've saved the 7 frame sequence file ;-( as a flat sequence which wouldn't be available in LV 5.x but aids in seeing how it is all connected together. I don't have a way to save it earlier than 7.0 at the moment, so figured I'd send the pictures, you should be able to wire it fairly quickly. I don't see anything that won't be available in 5.x (other than the flat sequence that I mentioned).

Hope this helps, good luck

you'll want to save the files, opening the lock in one in my browser doesn't give you enough resolution, but it is present in the file.

cheers,
