Unable to interface with SR 830 lock IN amplifier with LabVIEW by GPIB

[parthapyne]

Hi,

 I am using LabVIEW 2015 and want to acquire the data from SR 830 Lock IN amplifier via Agilent GPIB/USB converter (82357B). I have connected all the instrument and installed all the required drivers. I can see my instrument in NI MAX device and interface portion.I have also queried the VISA  test panel, it writes to my lockin and also read the data from the lock In. So I am assured that this is connected properly. Even when I use the examples given by the SR drivers it works properly as they operate via VISA. But I can not acquire data from lockin in my pc via GPIB cable. 

What to do now to acquire the data from my Lock IN to my pc via the GPIB? What are the possible problems for which I am unable to do it?

It will be a great help if one suggests me to recover my problem..

Thanks in advance!

Your information is pretty confusing and unclear.You talk about that you can communicate with the device and all and then that you can't acquire data. What is the actual problem? You really need to give a lot more detail about what doesn't work.

Hi,

Actual problem was as follows:

I connected the lock in with pc via keysight 82357B GPIB/USB, In my NI MAX I observed the lockin as it was connected via visa, but when I want to connect it via gpib there was some problems. Finally I installed HP visa in my pc with NI visa then my problem is covercome. Now I am getting data in labview from lockin

Thank you

Hi parthapyne,

via keysight 82357B GPIB/USB

In my NI MAX I observed the lockin as it was connected via visa, but when I want to connect it via gpib there was some problems.

Those (old) GPIB "direct" calls are mainly for hardware from NI. You are using hardware from Keithley…

Use VISA to communicate through a "unified" API with hardware from several suppliers!

Hello,

Can you share your labview code with me?
