Controlling a HP4245B with LabVIEW

[Laurent V.]

Hello,

I am trying to control an HP4145B using LabVIEW.
In Fact, I get a problem when reading data from the instrument. I just get no answer but the instrument is talking. I am quite new to LabVIEW and I really don't know how to fix it.
Thanks.

Hi Laurent,
you will find on second CD (LabVIEW Instrument Driver Library) shipped with LabVIEW-software in GPIB\hp415xa -folder the hp415xa.llb. This is the driver-library for HP - Parameteranalyzer (incl. examples). This already should help a lot..... I started some years ago with this software. Meanwhile I have made several derivates of it and of course my own applications (for HP4155A & B)- especially static & dynamic stress of Transistors. If you need further support mail to: werner.hasche@web.de

attached is a vi that is getting info from the hp4145.
It is the only way I know to get info from that device.
It is not fast but works.

Hi Wha:
I have labview 7.0 and could not find the instrument driver CD. Do you know if it comes with this version of labview and has another name or if it does not come at all?
Thanks

Hi Albert:
I tried your VI but it didn't work. Could you tell me exactly how to use it?
Thanks

hi

you will find the driver file on NI - website

http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/browse/

or more detailed: http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/a71396e58e2e6691862568ab005fba18?OpenDocument

look for HP + LabVIEw + GPIB and you will have it;
otherwise send me a mail to web.de / in case you
need applicatins with Parameter Analyser.

regards
Werner

Set up the output string so it has a scroll bar. The first line is blank, but there is data below. Took me a while to see it too.
Thanks Albert! I've been beating my head against a wall for weeks on this one.
