litepoint IQxstream in the Labview

[Aftabnakii]

Hi,

     Does anyone know how to operate litepoint IQxstream in the Labview environment using ethernet connection? Please help us.

Come on guys, is there anyone who has worked on litepoint IQxstream. We really need your help. Please respond..............

Thank you so much.

I assume you've already asked the vendor? With that lack of support, at the Instrument Driver Network, there is information on creating your own driver. It's also something you could contract out to an Alliance member.

You should contact the Manufacturer directly. The IQxstream can be controlled via a standard VISA driver (or you can open up a socket).  You physically connect to the tester via internet IP address.

There is then a whole language of SCPI commands you can send and receive to the tester.

To control IQxstream with SCPI commands from LabVIEW, you can use VISA to open a TCPIP socket to port number 24000.

VISA Open example:

VISA resource input

TCPIP::<IQXS id number or IP address>::24000::SOCKET

This will open a VISA session socket to the IQxstream SCPI server. The full SCPI command set is available via this socket connection.

For optimal speed in TCPIP transactions, use a property node to set the VISA TCPIP Settings:No Packet Delay=True

To view the full SCPI command set documentation, open a browser window to http://<IQxstream_id_number_or_IP_address>/mainframe.html to open the IQxstream GUI, then navigate to the documentation tab from the main menu.

For additional support, please contact your local LitePoint sales office or go to www.LitePoint.com for additional contact information and support.

Actually, that TCP/IP visa test panel only allow us to send one by one scpi commands, while we want to send the whole sequence of commands for instructing the machine to perform the operation in step wise. Also, we would like to use the labview platform to communicate with the machine. But for the time being, we are not able to use the visa resource properly. The documentation manual of the machine is also not self explanatory. Can anyone send us some short examples in labview so that we can understand the behaviour of the machine.

We will be waiting for your help and response.

Thanking you in advance.
