Labview code to do simple measuerment with 4294A

Hi,

I am so new with labview, I downloaded the 4294A driver and I was wondering if anyone already developed a  personal code to perform measumerment. 

any help would be appriciated. 

Thanks

I count 8 example VIs that come with the project style driver. Have you tried those? Just like the rest of the examples that come with LabVIEW, go to Help>Find Examples. Then select Hardware Input and Output>Instrument Drivers>LabVIEW Plug and Play.

I did try them, none of them answers what I am looking for, I want to sweep the frequency and read the measured impedance and save it in to a file,

Hello everyone

i am working to make a software for my agilent 4294a by labview.

but as i see it is very easy to make sweep measurements.

but it is limited up to 801 point therefore i need more points instead.

but i could not make single point measurements so that i can control it by computer for very huge points.

is there any way to increase the number of points from 801 to more, or any way to make single point measurements?

Hi

Why not split your measurements in chunks of 800 samples?

thank you for your answer 

i know but if i could do it by single point it would be more easy

as i see i cannot do it by single measurement.

Moving the data in chunks is a lot faster than is single units. Just try.

The 4294 is an old model, it has only 801pt memory for a sweep.  There's no way around that! 

 

So like Albert said, build separate sweeps and perform each in sequence. 

 

Post your code if you get stuck and we can help.
