Get more resolution (digit) from agilent 5313xA read measurement

Dear all

 

I am working with LabVIEW 12 and Agilent 53132a (Universal Counter).
I am using Agilent frequency counter to monitor frequency of my devices. I use Labview and GPIB to record my data and for that I use a driver downloaded from NI.

I found data read from read measurement.vi only 9 digit.

I want all data that reading from Agilent 53132a. What I can do?

 

Best Regards

Sermsak

Karakas, 

 

Could you post a screenshots of your code so I can get a better clue to how you are trying to read the data?  So with GPIB you have to specify how many bytes you are reading if you are using the GPIB Read Function.  Here is the description page on this VI:

 

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview-api-ref/page/functions/gpib-read.html

 

I would set the byte count to number like 100 or 200 just to test it out.  You can find this in the Instruments I/O pallet under GPIB.  Examples on GPIB communication can be found in the NI Example Finder by going to Help>>Find Examples....  And then navigating in the popup window to the file directory "Hardware Input and Output>>GPIB".

Thank you very much for your support.

I can solve problem by change read measurement.vi to fetch measurement.vi.
