Controlling two instruments with LView (APIB and GPIB) SINAD testing

[DannyBoyD]

Well I am having mixed results here.  Part of my problem is that I am an extreme noob. ALthough i have had a few weeks getting into LabView and using instrument drivers etc..

I am using Labview 8.2.

I am trying to control two instruments: (AP2722)Audio Precision and (SMIQ) Rohde & Schwarz.

This is for SINAD testing.

The AP analyzer does not have an instrument driver and uses APIB...so i have to use ActiveX control.

The SMIQ has an instrument driver.

Will I be able to use/control the both of them within one project of LabView?

I am trying to control each one separately but at some point I have to bring it all together.  Just wondering if LabView will even do this for me.

thanks if you know.

I've never heard of APIB but LabVIEW has been used to control multiple instruments in a single VI since version 1.0.

The mnu's seem screwy but the Tree shows a complete PnP project structure-  Hierarchy View shows its reasonably organized.  APIB Seams like a specialization of the GPIB bus optomized for the AP language time constraints

Hey Danny Boy. Did you ever sucsesfully control the SYS-2722 over APIB with LabVIEW?

Many thanks, Alec
