Agilent 34970A labview serial communication

[Peter2008]

Hey,

I've been trying to use the NI driver to communicate with the Agilent 34970A data logger with no success. I'm using labview 8.2. I know that the data logger works well and can communiate with the computer as it works with it's own software (BenchLink.....). I also made sure that the serial configurations are the same i.e. baud rate(19200), flow control(none) etc..

I've tried a few of the available VI's: EZ-scan , Advanced scan etc but when i run the program nothing happens.

I do get a "timed out" error occuring in the Intialiser VI (I think), and a "RS-232 Framing Error" on the Data Logger itself.

The readme file of the driver provides no information regarding any setup procedures so i don't know if i may have missed a basic, crucial step.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

This is an older message, so you have probably already found a solution.  However, attached is an llb that I use on top of hp34970a.llb.   If you open A34970_InterfacePanel1.vi, you'll see a generic panel that provides both a low level debug option and a frame that I can use for verification testing.
