Hi!
I have a HP34970 data logger with a GPIB connection. When I have completed a scan, I
want to export the data to a text file. The
trouble is that only the first 225000 (approx.)
bytes are read. The output string from the instrument typically look like:
#6558741+7.1247437E-01,+.... where the first digit after the "#" is how many more digits to read to specify the byte count, hence 558741.
When I look at the exported string it appears to be ok, but no more than approx. 225000 bytes are read.
Is there a limitation of string size in labview?
I have a win98 platform and use Labview 5.1.
I use VISA and I have tried both taking the exact byte count as buffer, and also a much bigger buff
er. Result is the same. What can be done? Is this a instrument problem or labview problem. I can email my subVI if it is needed.
Sincerely Kjetil.
