Hello,
I apologize for not stating my testing setup clearly. I am using the power meter to calibrate the equipment that I am working on, which cannot handle high levels of power for a extended period of time. Therefore I need to be able to take measurements very quickly when I am taking power measurements. I will investigate the configuration/etc of the power meter to see if anything can be done to obtain the measurement from it sooner.
Regards,
Kaspar

Hi Kaspar,
In order to achieve a higher transfer rate on the GPIB bus, try to limit the physical distance between devices, and limit the number of devices on the GPIB bus. Also, take a look at the following Developer Zone tutorial: Eight Ways to Increase GPIB System Performance.

Hi Kaspar,
I'm making a test bench for MEMS switches measurements and I have to use two cards: a DAQ card (NI PCI 6711) and a GPIB card. Actually I have to generate two signals with the DAQ card (this is ok, it works) and I have to make power measurements with the GPIB card and power meter E4418B (power sensor E4412A).
I am trying to synchronise the generation and the measurements but I don't have managed yet to perform this. I would be very interested if you can give me some advice to use the trigger of the power meter. How did you do? Did you use a state machine?
Material I use:
LabView 7.1 and NI DAQmx 7.2
Thanks,
Pierre
