connect thermocouples from hp scanner 34901A

[dffd]

I want to read the temperatures of 6 thermocouples (type K).

I use a RS 232 as a connection to the hp scanner 34901A (wich is put into the agilent 34970A).

1. which icons shall i use to build my block diagram?

2. can anybody post an already running programm?

thanks a lot, david.

This should guide you to the driver:

Using the Agilent 34970A with LabVIEW

I am not sure if examples are included in them. If you are interested in installing this directly into your LabVIEW environment, navigate to Help->Find Instrument Drivers and search for the driver in there.

thanks for your suggestion.

i already had install the necessary driver for the agilent.

here is my .vi-programm as i built it untill now.

as you will run it, it will occour an error right at the "initialize" icon. can you explain this error?

thanks,

david.

How can anyone explain what an error is if you don't provide what the error is that you are getting? At least provide the error number.

i thought with running the program anyone could see the error.

so, below there is the flow diagram and the occured error (i think it has to do with the "initialize"-icon).

with the "initialize"-icon i want to communicate with the agilent that gets the temperatures from 6 thermocouples. as input-information i added the serial port configuration and the visa resource name. is that enough?

thank you,

david.

Anyone running the program would use it correctly and provide a valid VISA Resource Name and would not get the error. You haven't provided a scan list either. Click on the arrow on the right side of the VISA Resource Name and select form the available resources. See the examples for how to provide a scan list.

Also, clean up the wiring on the diagram (it is NOT a flowsheet). It's a mess.

Do you know what is the new NI robot? and where can I find information about that?

What kind of connection is there to this thread about the 34970 and your question? Start a new thread.
