Download instrument driver problem & doubts

[Serina]

Hey friend, i encounter sme problems in displaying my waveform in my labview exercise..currently i am a student n wrking on proj. My present/ongoing task is to try out n understand a prev ex done by a student frm the last batch. The ex is a AM modulation ex. the driver installed by her is    54602B   4-channel Digitizing Oscilloscope however i check my oscilloscope is HP 54600B instead, my signal generator was changed but i am not sure isit the same brand model but current generator is HP 8648B 100-2000 MHz. My teacher say it is a completed n no error ex solution. but no matter how i try and change e setting on the oscilloscope i cant manage to display two match waveform. 1 is internal result another is external which came frm the scope and send the information into the com LabView ex. I even redo and follow e instruction n connection diag she have printed out but it still doesn't wrk.The only fault i thik n suspect that might lead to failure is the prob which i jus mention..so i need to clarify n confirm it..any1 who can help pls reply mi asap..Thanx alot! 🙂

Between the blue color, the unusual font, and the problems with numerous incomplete English words, your post is very difficult to read.  In particular was is "ex" that you are referring to?

If you post your VI's or even the pictures of whatever was printed out, then perhaps someone familiar with these oscilloscopes would be able to help you.

 My present/ongoing task is to try out n understand a prev exercise done by a student from the last batch. The exercise is a AM modulation exercise. the driver installed by her is    54602B   4-channel Digitizing Oscilloscope however i check my oscilloscope is HP 54600B instead, my signal generator was changed but i am not sure isit the same brand model as before and current generator is HP 8648B 100-2000 MHz.

(The Signal Generator Information graph should display a waveform almost similar to Modulating Signal)

Hello,
I had a little difficulty understanding the issue here.
You have the correct driver version for your Oscilloscope, but I did notice that no drivers exist for 8648B however they there are drivers here for the 8648A.

Now can you get the waveform to display how you would like on the Oscilloscopes before transfering the data to LabVIEW.

Hi, actually in the given instructions from the exercise the student have written. There is no instruction stated to use the signal generator 8648B driver software. But she did download the driver 8648A but she never use it and get her waveform last time. You can open the attachment i have upload and have a look. Because this exercise was her work my teacher want me to have a try, cause i going to start and do Amplitude Shift Keying Modulation therefore i need to have a rough idea on it to get prepared for my next work. It was a Amplitude Modulation exercise and i just start my work for a period of time so i am not sure how to modify or check either as i were not familiar with it. Maybe you can help me check maybe she accidentally leave out the step or whatsoever. Thanks Alot!

I have found out the main problems and solve it..Thank anyway
