RS 232 Comm from PC to HP 34401A

[Michael S]

I am just learning to connect to an Instrument VIA Serial Comm Port RS232. Can someone send me a VI. that can currently go to a HP (Agilent) 34401A and read a sample from it's buffer? Please keep in mind, I have 5.1 Labview Software, and can not open some other example applications.

Thank You. Michael S

Hello Michael,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

You can find an example VI that will allow you to communicate with an HP 34401A by searching the example archive included with your copy of LabVIEW 5.1. Go to Help>>Search Examples and choose VISA under the I/O Interfaces category. Scroll down and you will find an HP 34401A Application Example.

I hope this helps! If you have any problems finding the example VI or need any further assistance, let me know.
