Looking for example program for communicating/reading/writing to HP34970A

[Todd at Ormec]

I have downloaded the HP34970 device drivers from the developers zone and installed them. I also downloaded and installed the reccommended VISA package.

I opened LabView and tried to find the HP setup VI in the I/O tools. No luck.

If someone has done this, please pass along the necessary steps.

thanks,

todd

When you unzipped the driver, where did you install the hp34970A folder that was created? It should be under your LabVIEW\instr.lib folder. When there, after restarting LabVIEW, you should have a menu item called HP34970A DAQ/Switch Unit on the Instrument I/O>Instrument Driver palette. From there, there is submenu called Examples with 6 different functions listed.

I have just taken those steps and in the last submenu I see 6 big "?" as icons. The texts under the "?" look OK. I am using LabVIEW7.1 and latest NI-VISA and HP34970A driver.

I have the same problem as well doing the exact same step as mentioned above. Help needed... thanks in advance

nevermind, when you unzip it under instri.lib it will automatically create a HP34970a  folder for you so you don't have to create another one. two subfolders will confuse labview and "?" question marks will appear. 

Damn i'm awsome
