SImulate Fluke 5700A

[xl600]

Is there a LabView simulator for an HP (Fluke) 5700A?  I need to develop a control application for this instrument, but I don't have one available immediately (May be months to acquire one).

Thanks,

XL600,

You can always use SCPI to program and query the instrument.  Look into the 'Remote Programming Reference Guide' for the commands that can be sent to the instrument remotely.  You simply need to use the VISA (Write, Read, and Close) primitives within LabVIEW.

It looks like one doesn't exist. What function are you looking for? Maybe there's a similar application just for the function you need?

I just need to simulate enough to get a VI written which will initialize and control the voltage output (On/Off, level) for an automated test.  Not having the instrument available makes this rather difficult if no simulator (IVI driver?) is available...

This is an easy task.  The remote programming manual can be found at: 5700A Pgm Guide 

Create a CASE statement for simulation and one for actuation of hardware.

1. Make sure that the hardware when available, is connected and configured properly
2. Perform a simple query (Unit should respond as stated in the guide)

   *IDN?

3. Continue to setup the instrument as desired using the commands in the guide
4. Add responses from the simulated case
