Re CRO-Labview_Immunity_Target_CROIntercompatible

[leo_83]

Greetings!!

I have a VI written for CRO,this VI is used for immunity tests and hence the masking function available in CROs is used..VI has facilities

 to define masks and all.

My question is if this VIs are implemented for LT264, will they also work for a CRO from Agilent or not ? What are the possible changes

required to make it intercompatible for all CROs, is it only the GPIB address or some other commands?

what care one has to take to implement the same VI for other device..because the GPIB communications commands remains the same..

Please reply..Many thanks

Abhi

Hi Abhi,

the VIs you are currently using for your Agilent device won't work for a LeCroy device, because the VIs call different drivers. Therefore you need to install the driver for the LeCroy device and use the VIs provided by the driver, although the GPIB commands remain the same.

Hallo Daniel,

 Thanks for reply. I found out the instrument drivers for Lecroy LT264, but they have an extension of .msi, which is totally different from others like agilent or Tektronix instrument drivers..how can i get the actual instrument drivers same as those of agilent or tektronix or how do i use .msi file ?

I need advice on this issue.please reply..

Regards,

Abhi

P.S. I am continuing on this post, because once i solve this problem, i hav another issue concerning Remote control commands.

Hi Abhi,

good, to hear you found the LT264 instrument driver. The MSI-file (Microsoft Installer) you downloaded will install the Instrument Driver to your HDD. Just douple click the MSI-file and the installer will run. Afterwards, start your LabVIEW version (make sure you downloaded the Instrument Driver for the right LabVIEW version!) and open a Blank VI. Switch to the Block Diagram and open the Function Palette. Navigate to Instrumet I/O >> Instrument Drivers. There you'll find a Palette called "LeCroy Waverunner Scope" with all necessary VIs. Check out the NI Example Finder, as well (Help >> Find Examples... >> Search >> LeCroy), so you don't have to build your VI from scratch.

Hope this helps!

Hi Daniel,

 Thanks, the information helped perfectly..Normally Instrument drivers(downloaded from NI) compose of Examples, Public, Private and some other files, however for the ones which i have downloaded viz. Tektronix 744A and Lecroy LT264, there are no examples folders,any idea, how can i procure examples for the above mentioned oscilloscopes, it would be of great help..

To be specific, I have to implement a Mask Test Setup option which is used for Immunity tests. I am looking for examples of mask test setup for Osciloscopes, which would help me understand the logic behind it, or if anybody has some information how it can be implemented, please reply.

Thanks,

Abhi

Sorry Abhi,

but I found no examples for the lcltxxxx, neither on our hompage, nor on LeCroy's. Maybe you want to take a look at Lecroy's HP as well, or other users have some examples and might provide them here.

I'm really sorry...
