Error that Appears...

[neoguga]

Error -1074135016 occurred at hp33120a Configure Burst Count.vi

Possible reason(s):
Driver Status:  (Hex 0xBFFA0018) Not a valid configuration.

Elaboration: The istrument is not in the correct operation mode to complete this action.

Using Agilent 33220A Function Generator

What do we have to put in the INtrument handle?

And the instrument handle Out?

Is it -----------GPIB::10::INSTR

I see the same for the instrument handle and intrument handle OUT

thanks

kinda NOOB

all the connections seem fine!

You're using the IVI driver for the instrument and not the native LabVIEW one? That error code is being generated by the driver and seems to indicate that you need to perform another function before you run this. You probably have to set it to burst mode before you can set the burst count. Have you tried running the Getting Started VI? If you did, do you get any errors there?

The resource name when you use the Initialize function can be GPIB0::10:INSTR (assuming that 10 is the correct address) or it can be a logical name you define for it in MAX. You don't put anything into an output. The handle out is passed to subsequent functions that you call.

If you are using the IVI driver, make sure that the function is actually supported by your specific device and that the parameters you are passing are within the range of the device.  IVI defines many functions some of which that are not available on the physical device you are linked to.  Just a possibility.

Hey thanks for the reply! anyway i downloaded the driver from ni.com not the native LABview one! I have tried running the Getting started VI and i dont get any error there! It's just that when i need the burst MODE and i added the burst VI and this error appears! =( So what function or what can i do to perform this BURST mode? the address is correct for sure! just that Error after addiing the Burst VI! thanks

hope to hear from u soON

cheers!

the burst function is available ! ^^

HEre's the block diagram! ^^  any advice for this block diagram? thanks

[Dennis_Knutson]

There's two drivers for the instrument available from NI. One is IVI and one is written in LabVIEW.

I don't think you have the function in the correct place. Read the manual on the instrument. After you initialize it, you probably have to set the instrument to the correct mode before you set the burst count. Put  simply, what you do with the program is similar to how you would setup the instrument manually. If after doing a reset, you have to do a couple of different operations before you can set something, you'll have to repeat the same process in your program.

MAke sense but burst gate polarity and burst phase ( VI in the same section as burst count ) didnt occur any error when i fix it like the above diagram! it is just this burst count couldnt work properly...Dont know WHy... ill try ur idea but i am afraid that the VI that is provided By NI is not working or myabe a little faulty? is it posibble?

Anyway other ideas?

cheers

!!

[neoguga]

if i am not miskaten mine is written in labvire...anywah what's the differeecen between IVI and the dirver by labview?

seriously , i tried connection with other VI's it works fine! it's just that i connect with burst count the whole VI dont work...sighz...

really hope u guys can help me ya...

thanks

have a nice day

^^

With respect to your question about the difference between IVI and Plug and Play, see the following link.

Have you tried to highlight execution on that VI and see if a particular setting in the VI is causing a problem?
