have you an example of labview for HP e1326B?

[bodge]

"I have an HP 75000 serie B data acquisition mainframe ( a digit multimeter HP e1326 B). It has several HP e1347A cards in it. The mainframe has a (HPIB ?) interface. I want to measure thermocouples
and some 0-2 volt signals with these cards using Labview 6 Does anyone
have any examples for this?"

Both the 1326 and 1347 drivers should be on the instrument driver CD that came with your copy of LabVIEW. They're also available for download at NI's instrument driver library. Go to http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/browse/, and select Agilent as the manufacturer.

I also need the HP E1326B driver. Could you show me other link to find it? because I can not find one from the website of NI.

[Dennis_Knutson]

The driver can be found here. The main page for the Instrument Driver Network is this.

I found the driver ids for HP E1326A. Does it work for HP E1326B 5.5 digit Multimeter??
Thanks

[Dennis_Knutson]

Probably. You might need to modify the Initialize VI where it queries the instrument ID. Like most Agilent VXI, I think the instrument is register based and not message based so it's a little difficult to compare the commands. I would try to contact Agilent to see what the exact differences are.

Hi Dennis,

Now I need to figure out a labview application program to measure stain (using 8 strain gages).
The instrument I have include:
HP E1300A Mainframe
HP E1326B 5 1/2 Digit Multimeter Module
HP E1356A 8-channel Starin Gage Multiplexer Module
Strain gage(not decided)
The interface is GPIB, the labview 7.0 is used to control these instrument.
When I use MAX perfoming configuration, two instruments are found: HP E1300A & HP E1326B
I am wondering which instrument the Labview should communicate with?
Thanks
have your Good weekend!

Hello Yi. Thank you for contacting National Instruments. When you download the instrument drivers for the HP E1326B and HP E1356A there should be examples with them. Take a look at these examples. They should give you a good idea of which instrument is the one you want to communicate with in LabVIEW. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!

Thank you, Marni,

Using MAX, I found some information as follow:
-----
Instrument0
Primary Address = 9
Secondary Address = 96
Identification: HP E1300A,0,A,07.00

Instrument1
Primary Address = 9
Secondary Address = 99
Identification: HP E1326B,0,A,05.00
------
If run the HP E1326 driver example VI, the logic address and GPIB address are required to determine. I am wondering how to determine both address?
when run the example VI, the err:1220 appears in the block diagram. What the possible problem and how to solve it?

Thank you very much.
