Hi,
with the help of some archived posts from this group, I was able to use the
IVI drivers for my lecroy wp 950 to aquire data from all four channels. It
works, but it seems like a hack, so I was hoping someone could explain how
to use IVI drivers properly.
I downloaded the lecroy drivers.
I started in the getting started.vi
I entered subvi's until I reached lcwpxxx Acq Wfm Edge Triggered.vi
At this point, I followed instructions (I think) to add a Fetch Waveform.vi
after the
Read Waveform.vi, for every channel. I added a total of three Fetch
Waveform.vi
I wired in constants for the channel names, and daisy chained the error
lines, instrument, etc.
I updated the connectors for subvi's to include the additional channel
outputs
Now I'm happy enou
gh with this for now- but I think I'm missing the point of
what the driver is doing for me. If I keep this program as is, and tomorrow
get a brand x scope that has IVI drivers, how would I make it work in the
program?
I think I should be doing this with the IVI class drivers, but I'm not sure
how they will help me either.
Can someone explain what the IVI driver toolkit would do for me, also?
Thanks for any help,
Chad
