TDK-Lambda Zup Driver

[NhiH]

Hello,

Can I use the TDK Lambda Z Power Supply driver (http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=F00572BCE06A6F91E0440021287E6A...) on Labview 2019 version? Thanks.

Hi

Sure, Older versions, except before LabVIEW 8 will be readable and recompiled.

Maybe even version 7 is readable but I'm not sure.

It is impossible for an older version of LabVIEW to read the newer vi's, but you can save for an older version in the newer version.

Thanks Albert.

I tried to connect the power supply and ran the vi to set and read the voltage/current, but it seemed like NI Max couldn't detect the device. I connected the device directly from the device's Ethernet port to the pc USB port. Am I missing some interface or something for NI Max to detect the device? Do I need to connect this device to the GPIB Instrument Control Device?

Hi

In MAX you can define an instrument in Devices and interfaces/networking by adding the VISA TCP/IP resource via a wizard.

I know this chat is a bit old, but no, you cannot use the TDK Lambda Z Power Supply drivers for the TDK Lambda Z-UP power supplies.

What you will need to do is go to the TDK Lambda ZUP website, click on one of the components (e.g., https://product.tdk.com/en/search/power/switching-power/prg-power/info?part_no=ZUP20-20%2FU) and under the Technical Support tools (not the tab but in the column on the right) you will find a two links, "Driver Downloads" and "LabVIEW Drivers". Click on the "LabVIEW Drivers" link, also placed here (https://product.tdk.com/system/files/dam/doc/product/power/switching-power/prg-power/software/zup-la.... This will download the file for you.

You will then need to install it as a third-party instrument driver by first extracting it into the respective folder, etc. See this article for more help https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000P8THSA0&l=en-US
