Frankonia FC 02 antenna mast and turntable controller

[ku_ku]

Have some one had deal with FRANKONIA turntables and anenna masts? I've got SCPI commands in devices manual. I've tried to controll these devices using visa but unsucsesfully. They are not moving. I used the same code to controll analiser and it works (ofcourse i changed commands and adresses). If someone have some code example..... help me.....

Dear ku ku,

Is your connection serial?

Perhaps you should try LabVIEW shipping examples.  A good example would be Basic Serial Read Write. vi

Thanks,

Sammy Z.

I'm using GPIB interface. I solved my problem in oposite direction. I instaled  manufacturers given turntable softvare and throught NI SPY  registrated what is happening on GPIB buss when I'm controlling turntable. After that I made vi that imitates the registrated commands on buss....

Thank you !!!

Hi,

I am trying to write a program for the turner.

I want to turn it for 1 degree each 1 second.

Can I write it in .net environment ?

Thanks,

As long as the instrument supports this functionality, you can write the program in any language supported by NI-VISA. There are .NET examples installed with the driver. I would suggest that you first test the SCPI commands in MAX before writing any code.

Thanks Denis,

I can't find any .net examples. can you please put a link ?

How  can I "test the SCPI commands in MAX" ?

I have tested the commands in  Basic Serial Read Write. vi

Thanks a lot.

Ivgeni.

Use the VISA test panels in MAX.

Hi,

I see in the links this path :

program files\national instruments\measurementstudio2005\dotnet\examples

I don't have it, so try to install NIVISA541full.

it writes me 

Measurement Studio Visual C++ 2008 support not present
The NI-VISA Measurement Studio for Visual C++ 2008 Support feature requires you to install Measurement Studio Visual C++ 2008 Support from the Measurement Studio installer.

and the link for downloading it is not working 

http://www.ni.com/download/measurement-studio-visual-c-support-8.6/1182/en/

what can I do ?

Thanks,

Ivgeni

Are you actually going to use Measurement Studio or just Visual Studio?

[Ivgeni]

just visual studio
