Problem controlling LeCroy WaveRunner HRO 64Zi Oscilloscope

Hello,

 

So my problem is that I simply can't setup this Oscilloscope with the drivers provided by NI. I digged a little into the Initialize SubVI and I think the problem is that this model is not added in the case where the IDN is decoded. Yes, I already tried to add the model to the cases, but it doesn't work.

 

Do somebody knows if there's an specific library to control this device?

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

This is the right driver for the scope.  The original programmer intended to keep a look up table (the case structure you saw in the VI) to ensure compatibility as new scope models were introduced.  This became a huge task that fell behind when the programmer moved on.

 

We (LeCroy) are going to be updating the driver to fix this issue but until we can get it done, the work around is to simply disable the ID check or ignore the error it generates.  The commands for the HRO are the same as the other Windows based scopes.

 

Feel free to email or call me with any further questions or challenges and I am happy to help out!

Thank you Leonard, I've tried deactivating the ID Query and it works. I was having another problem but that was because I was trying to control the device through TCP/IP but using the command for LXI, but it's solved now and I can configure the Oscilloscope flawless.
