SR850 Data to Computer

[wade_bryant3-24]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out a way to obtain the data from my SR850 and send it to my computer. I want to send the data via a GPIB cable that is hooked up. I use a labview program called the LabVIEW-GPIB.VI that can be found in the labview examples. All I want to know is how to save the data gathered in the sr850 and transferring that data to the computer.

Thanks

And 1 more question

How do you make the SR850 a talker and the controlling interface a listener?

[Dennis_Knutson · Accepted solution]

You should at least start with the existing driver instead of that example. If you don't, use the VISA example as there is no need for the low level GPIB functions. It's not supported but Help> Find Instrument Drivers will surely assist.

Thanks a lot!!!!!

I am relatively new to LabVIEW so I did not know what an instrument driver is. Thanks again!
