build an autocorrelation

[tal15]

Hi everyone,

I am new to the Labview, the request of me is to build a code of autocorrelation and use an instrument driver which is Agilent U2702A. I downloaded the instrument driver, but I don't know how to integrate it into Labview. In addition, I don't know how to begin to build the code. I need one who helps me for going ahead ASAP.

Please, see this link:

Any help would be great, Thanks in advance.

Have you installed LabVIEW on your computer?  Which version?  Which toolkits?  Once you have LabVIEW installed, install the LabVIEW Device Drivers.  If you've done this correctly, you should ses an icon for NI MAX (Mearsurement and Automation Explorer), which you use to configure devices from which you want to acquire data (or control) with LabVIEW.

Oops, pushed the wrong button, I wasn't finished.  In particular, the Agilent device should show up in MAX.

What do you know about autocorrelation?  If I gave you a sampled signal, do you know what to do to get its autorcorrelation?

Thank you so much for responding me.

Yes, I have installed LabVIEW.

LabVIEW 2014 (32-bit).

I see NI MAX.

I know that the autocorrelation is used to measure the duration of ultrashort pulses. If I gave you a sampled signal, I might not get its autorcorrelation.

If you already have the instrument driver (downloaded from NI) then you should be able to see your intrument from NI MAX. If the driver is correctly installed you will find the instrument function palette on LabVIEW at the block diagram and then go to Instrument I/O<<Instrument Drivers on the function palette. Also, on the driver folder you might find some examples that might help you understand how to use the intrument functions.
