Velleman PC Function Generator K8016

Hi

Does anyone know if there are example programs for the Velleman PC function
Generator?
Cheers

Hi,

I am not sure that I understand the question? The velleman function generators come with a software (PClab2000?). You can download it from the download site, http://www.velleman.be/ and if you don't have a function generator, you can run it in demo mode.

Hi Wayne,

I don't think we have any specific examples for that function generator. There is an old discussion thread that includes some information on communicating with one:
Velleman k8000 [link removed; thread no longer available]

If you have more information about the protocol for communicating with this specific device, please post it and I will try to point you to better information about possible LabVIEW example applications.

Have a good day,

Hello Wayne,

Unfortunately, there are no examples specific to the Velleman PC Function Generator K8016. What exactly are you trying to do? If you are trying to acquire a signal from the function generator through your DAQ board into LabVIEW, try the �Cont Acq&Graph (buffered).vi� example.

If none of these suggestions help, or if I�m not correctly understanding your issue, please post the software and versions you are using, the applicable portions of your code, and any other information that may help, and I�ll be happy to look further into it.

Have a nice day!

Hi All


Thanks for your responses. I am still in my investigation stage and I am trying to find the cheapest way to make an FRA (Freq. Resp. Analyser). Therefore, I am looking at the Velleman pc sig. gen at $150 (<1MHz).
I am trying to control (ultimately) everything through lab view (student version) or possibly version 6.1

I am not too sure of its protocol and guess it is something rather special.

Thanks


Wayne
