Ah,

thank you MM_RohdeSchwarz.

I firstly thought you mean recording by som program in windows,

but now I looked at the link you sent, it is a lot to read.

Hi RavensFan,

Is it the termination character at the end of a command or which one

I need to have for?

'\r' : carriage return

'\n' : line feed

'\r\n' : end of line

*IDN?\n

*IDN?\r\n

Of course it would go at the end.  It is called "termination".  I would guess \n for a line feed character.  But you should read the documentation of the instrument.  Not that not all devices recognize the *IDN?  command.   When you add \n, make sure your constant is set for \code display mode.

Thank you RavensFan.

I learn LabView bit by bit through asking questions here at this forum.

Hi MM_RohdeSchwarz,

Your name tells me about you have something to do with Rohde&Schwarz.

I'm looking for instrument driver or driver for spectrum analyzer R&S FSU 8 for LabView 17.

I've found one at this link https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/uk/driver/fsu/ but it is for LabView 10.

Do you know somewhere I could find it.

LabVIEW will open older LabVIEW code fairly happily (for versions newer than 8.0, I think) so the LabVIEW 10 should be fine.

The code might be written in an older style (since more modern features will have been unavailable) but it should work as well as it did when it was written.

I have no experience with Rohde and Schwarz to know how well that might be though 😉 the fact that they quickly answer questions on another company's forum is probably a promising sign...

Thanks for your reply.

I have an application written in labview 6.1 and rewrite the same code but in labview 17,

and use instrument driver of labview 10.

Could it be the reason I never get rid of this timeout error.

The display of the spectrum analyzer R&S FSU is constanly flashed everytime I run the application.

Do you any ide what it depends on?
