Re : Digital trigger to start other device

[Poszukiwacz]

Hello can anyone help me create Vi to generate digital trigger to start another device. I have agilent u2531A measure card and LabView 2010, and want to generate digital trigger to start generate signal on Rigol 4000 generator.

Hi Poszukiwacz,

Could you tell me how you would like to connect the two devices (Agilent and Rigol)? 

Is it necessary for your application that the trigger comes from Agilent? Because it would also be possible to have a software triggered signal generation on RIGOL DG4000.

Hi Tamara,

Connection:

Digital output from agilent is wired to rigol trigger input, that is locate in rear panel of generator, with coaxial cable.

And yes trigger must come from agilent.

Hi,

Thank you for the information. I would also need to know if you have the RIGOL DG4000 or the RIGOL DS4000 device. Thanks.

It is precisely a RIGOL DG 4062.

Looking forward hearing from You.

Ok, here is a possible solution to your problem. But I am not sure it will work properly so please give me some feedback. Also, as you will see, I set a sine wave as a defaut output signal from Rigol DG4000. 

To have the functions I used for your devices, you have to install the appropriate drivers: LabVIEW>Help> Find Instruments Drivers  then select the manufacturer and select the driver from the list.

Besides, note that we usually do not support customer for the Rigol device.

I hope the attached file will work for you.

I'm afraid that i can't open file attached by you. There is an error, it is about different type of LabVIEW.

[TamMou]

I saved it in a LabVIEW 2010 version, I hope it will be ok.

Hi Poszukiwacz,

So, did you test the VI? Did it work?

[Poszukiwacz]

Unfortunately the VI does not work. Some puls is sended from agilent digital output but it does not trigger the rigol.
