rodhe & schwarz fsh6

[pdohm]

Hello all,

I am trying to use labview to take measurements off of a Rohde & Schwarz FSH6 Spectrum Analyzer, but when I try to run the simple program attached, it says I have a framing error. The COM port is configured to 19200 on both the Explorer and unit itself. Also, as part of the problem maybe, the initialize VI says it sets the baud rate the 9600, and there is no possable way to change it. Any help?

Thanks,

Peter

Peter,

Unfortunatly the FHS6 is a POS.  I'm doing the same thing and I've found that the serial port connection is very temperimental.  Have you made sure that your com port settings are all the same?  Make sure that MAX, the hardware device settings in my computer, the FSH settings and your VI all have the same com port settings.

Are you able to get info from the FSH6 using R&S's FSH View?

Also make sure that the firmware on the instrument matches the latest VI's from R&S.

Once I figured all this out, I am now able to talk to and control my FSH-6.
