Data Logging with Fluke 189 Multimeter

[Wildcat55]

I am trying to get LaBview to read a signal coming off a Fluke 189 Multimeter, and I keep encountering the error code-1073807341. I installed the driver fl18x, and LaBview will still not talk to the multimeter. I have been able to use the fluke 189 multimeter before, but on a different computer and a newer version of LabView. I was able to get the fluke to work with LaBview 7.1.0, but not with LaBview 7.0.0 express. Should I be able to use the fluke with LaBview 7.0.0 express?

The program should be using just some basic serial port read write commands.  I started programming with 7.1, so I don't know if 7.0 would have anything dramatically different about it with serial commands.

The error code says "Invalid Access Mode".  Have you installed the VISA drivers for LV 7.0?  What is fl18x, is that driver from Fluke?  Perhaps you could post your code.

Hi,

Yes, you should be able to use LabVIEW 7.0 with the Fluke 189.  The fl18x instrument drivers are available on the Instrument Driver Network, and there is a version for LabVIEW 7.0.  You may need to repair or reinstall the NI-VISA and NI-VISA Run-time Engine.  Make sure that you select support for LabVIEW 7.0 when installing the NI-VISA driver.  Also make sure that you installed LabVIEW 7.0 before installing LabVIEW 7.1, and that you installed the drivers after installing LabVIEW.

Regards,

Rima

Have you tried a simple search on www.NI.com/IDnet ?

(Keep in mind: that driver is even older than this thread…)
