Working with PRIOR XY stage and Piezo stage

[yoli]

Hi, I'm having a problem working with my XY stage and piezo stage of PRIOR. I have the 'Top-Level' example. As I was told from PRIOR I have to daizy-chaned the 2 controllers. I try to work with the piezo stae with automatic initiation but I gen an error. Does someone know how to work this out? Thank you Yoli

Hi Yoli,

Could you please provide a few more details?  What error are you getting?  Are you using an instrument driver?  Have you been able to get the stage to move at all?  Are you communicating through GPIB?

Cheers,

Hi Marti,

Thank you for replaying.

Im trying to open the Piezo z with active x  using automation Open vi of LabView. The same as in top level forIZOpen but instead Im using PRIORLib.IPiezo.

The error I'm getting is  3005:

Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable in IPiezoOpen.vi 

IPiezoOpen is the name I gave to the vi. (Attached ).

As I was instructed the piezoZ controller in connected to the XY in daisy chained. So running top level, there is no problem controlling the XY stage. My problem is to activate and control the piezo.

Also attached is the top level vi

Thank you

Hi Yoli,

The code is erroring out in establishing communication with the PiezoZ controller.  Is this code that you attached in the word document what you are using to communicate with the Z stage? Are you also using ActiveX to control the XY stage?  How is the PiezoZ attached to the computer?  The first step is going to be establishing communication with the stage.  Try doing this with a shipping example.  ActiveX examples can be found under Help>Find Examples>Communicating with External Applications>ActiveX, and make sure that you are able to talk to the instrument at this level. 

Please let me know how this test goes. 

Cheers,
