HP4145B output data string looks strange

[bqt]

Hi everyone,

I have been struggling with the following problem for many days. Please help. The problem is described below

I'm using LabView 2010, working with HP4145B. Everything works fine except the string data output looks so strange: instead of being "N+9e-3,N+7e-3,....", it is "NmwnyswtEmpslNmwnqttpEmpslNmvnsupuEmpslNmunuuwqEmpslNmtnwvsqEmpslNmsnyvypEmpslNmsnqwuuEmpslNmrnsxqvEmpslNmqnuxxpEmpslNmwysnuuEmpvlN`rvsnvyEmpylN`wysnxtEmpvlN`qnuxxpEmpslN`rnsxqpEmpslN`snqwtuEmpslN`snyvxpEmpslN`tnwvquEmpslN`unuuuvEmpslN`vnsuqpEmpslN`wnqtttEmpslN`wnysxtEmpsMJ"

Therefore I cannot extract and convert data into numbers.

Please help! I really need to get it done this week, so I would be very grateful if you can spend your time here helping me as soon as you can.

Hello Bao,

Are you using the Plug and Play driver found here? It is an LLB that should simplify getting readings and measurements from your device.

Hi TJ G

Thanks for the suggestion.

I used that driver!

After some strugglings, I found that I need to convert those characters into number: "p"="0"; "q"="1"; "r"="2",...; "m"="-", "n"=".",... It works! ^_^

Hope this help other people who is struggling with Hp4145B ^_^

Regards,

Bao
