OK lets try this.

1. open the grabit program.

2. open the vi inside the grabit program called data collector.

3. inside this vi change the address to the address of your instrument. (change the 10 to whatever your address is)

4. run vi and look at the data if there is nothing change the constant from calc2:data? to calc1:data? and run again and tell me the results.

And for your information calc2:data? means trace B and calc1:data? means trace A.

Do not use any other VI. I do not know waht vi you modified before but there is no trace data vi inside the grabit program.

Hi! Joe:

I follow your direction and try it again, I found that if i run the program as "highlight excecution" mode,  the dialog" collecting data complete" appear, and after i push "OK" button. The signal appeared in the grabit program, but if i did not run the program as "highlight excecution" mode, i still can not see the signal.

You have two many programs going at the same time the grabit program does not have a dialog display in it. Now go back to my last post and do it again. You are not using the correct program.

Disregard all other programs and lets start new.

Ok lets just use this one vi for all of our testing from here on out. try this vi and see if you can get the data. let meknow how it goes. I only have LV8 installed so I had to do a save for previous. What version of LV do you have.

[happybird]

I only have the LV 7.0, do you have a low version one?

[happybird]

Can you make a .jpg file for the VI, so that i can add my own code?

[Joe_H]

here it is in LV7 it should work just fine I had to down convert it 2 times but it works for me. Let me know how it works for you if it does at all. also let me know of any errors. This is a hack together so do not expect it to be perfect.

Hi! Joe:

That works! ,thanks a lot!  are there any way i can make continous measurement?  .i try to add a while loop for the whole diagram, but it seems the signal is not stable then,and the X axis is not frequency domain. How can i use your main grabit program?

[Joe_H]

What did you change for this to work. Let me know and I will modify the grabit program with the changes so the you can use it.

glad you got it to work.

[Joe_H]

another question? what exactly do you want this program to do. Maybe I can help you out more if you could be specific.
