[GAUTHIER]

Hi everybody,

I have a question about spectrum anlyser with teststand.

I would like to use with teststand a spectrum analyser (IFR 2399C aéroflex).

I have the driver and those files:

 

Ifr2399.lib (msvc)                                                            

Ifr2399.lib (Borland)                                                                          

Ifr2399.h, ifr2399_utilities.h                                                            

ifr2399.c, ifr2399.fp, ifr2399.hlp, Ifr2399.doc.                 

Ifr2399_32.dll & ifr2399.lib                           

I have install the spectrum analyser in the measurement and automation explorer where i defin the driver liker an IVI SpecAn.

now I don't know how to do to use it in tesstand. I don't find IVI SpecAn like i can fin IVI Dmm IVI Fgen...........

Can someone help me to resolve my problem ?

Best regards

In add,

I try to use a DLL but it don't works.

You can see in the attach file the parameter I use.

So after initiate I try to autotune the spec An but he don't works

Does your dll run in the development environment. (Not teststand environment) but the environment that you built the dll in. Why do you have a dll that controls the analyzer and have loaded as an IVI driver as well? Are you sure that you have the IVI driver setupi correctly? Do you have the instrument connected to the PC? What is the exact error that you are receiving.

Hi Gauthier,

Is ANALYSEUR defined as a logical name in the IVI tab in NI MAX?

Hello Gauthier,

I would try to get your instrument working with a progamming language before we started porting it over to TestStand.  We want to ensure that the instrument will work properly first.  You can post to the Instrument Control forum for help with IVI and instrument control issues as well.  Lastly, I took a look at the screen shot you posted, and I noticed something. The ANALUSEUR FileGlobal variable is an object type instead of a long, which is what your dll calls for.  This might a start, but I would definitely check out the Instrument Control forums.  Have a great day!
