HP4339A using HP4339B driver with ID Query=False, fail

[Jeorainc]

I am a completely novice in LabVIEW.

Recently I need to use HP4339A to do a school project. It is recommended to use labview to monitor and to record the data.

I have read the previous posts and someone said that the HP4339A can be controlled by HP4339B driver.

I downloaded it and inside there is a simple proogram to measure with a given voltage.
I tried to run that and error was shown (see attached)

I am completely new, and i don't know how to solve it.

Please kindly give me a solution.. If i can run this sample program smoothly, I can continue on my project.

The error 113 occur in Configure Measurement.vi. No error was shown in the program but it appear on the monitor of the machine.

Error 420 occur while running Read Data.vi.

The link for my driver: http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=F8FB3D80CB440A24E0340003BA7CCD...

Million Thanks,

Hey Eric,

The 1074000000 error indicates the error comes from the instrument and not from LabVIEW.  As far as the other two errors, they are going to be hardware specific, and Agilent's forums may provide more answers for you rather than NI forums.  I can provide a few tips though.  Check and make sure the termination characters are correct in the code.  Also look for triggering vi's and see if removing those eliminates the errors.  If you need programmatic trigger creation, and it is causing the error, you will have to modify the vi so that the instrument and the code work correctly.

Dear Kyle A,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I searched the error for HP4339A in the website of aglient, and found the meaning of the errors:

-113 Undefined header

The header is syntactically correct, but it is undefined for the 4338B; for example, *XYZ is not

defined for the 4338B.

-420 Query UNTERMINATED

A condition causing an unterminated query error occurred (see IEEE 488.2, 6.3.2.2); for

example, the 4338B was addressed to talk and an incomplete program message was received by

the controller.

Can you give me some more tips? I am completely new in LabView and don't know how to correct it in labview.

Million Thanks,

Eric

 It's not LabVIEW you are having problems with.  You don't know how to send commands to your equipment.  Read the equipment manual/programmer's guide to show you how to format your commands.  Then you should be able to do this in just about any programming language. 😉
