Five Agilent 34410A

[labvie061515]

Hello All,

Can you anyone help me how to read/write dc voltage five DMM "34410A".

I can read/write one DMM, how do you made output all four DMM in one excel sheet with time?

example;

Time     DMM1   DMM2  DMM3  DMM4 DMM5

1            2            2           4         3          3

Well the first thing you need to do is go through the online tutorials. But basically you have 5 meters that should be at 5 different addresses. Have a loop that goes through and reads each meter in turn and compiles the results.

You could also use a multiplexer to allow one meter to read 5 different inputs.

But first do the tutorials and get back to us with what isn't working.

And if you need the measurements to be taken at the exact same time (not necessarily read through the bus, but the instrument made the measurement), then you need to play around with triggers.  This adds all kinds of interesting setup that you must figure out.

Honestly, if you are just reading a DC voltage that is less than 10V, just buy a $100 DAQ from NI and use the DAQmx API to get your measurements.  It will be a lot cheaper and will work a lot faster.

...and easier. Much, much easier.
